  • not only smoking but also aspire smoke increases the risk of type II diabetes

A U.S. study confirmed the direct link between snuff and type II diabetes not only in smokers, but also those who are exposed to smoke. The research focused on women, but experts estimate that the findings also apply to men

later secondhand smoke which is exposed a person, the greater the risk for the disease that is caused by insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to properly use the hormone-, sometimes combined with total deficiency, as stated in a job published in the journal Diabetes Care.

"accumulated evidence identified a positive association between active smoking and the risk of diabetes, but previous studies had limited information on passive smoking or changes in smoking behavior over time," , wrote John Forman, of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who led the study.

research followed 100,000 women for 24 years. In 1982, the volunteers, all participants in the Nurses Health Study, provided information on how much time they spent around cigarette smoke. Over the next 24 years, about one in 18 were diagnosed with type II diabetes.

Forman and his team found that those who smoked more than two packs a day were most likely to develop diabetes. About 30 of the heavy smokers developed diabetes each year in 10,000 women in the study, compared with about 25 nonsmoking and spent time not exposed to smoke from other people.

However, risks were actually higher for former smokers and women exposed to secondhand smoke , since in both groups around 39 in 10,000 participants developed diabetes each year.

When you take into account variables such as weight, age and family history of disease, former smokers had a 12% increased risk of diabetes than those who were regularly exposed to secondhand smoke.

diabetes potential risks from exposure to passive smoking were not known, said David Nathan, who directs the Diabetes Center at Massachusetts General Hospital and a professor at the Harvard Medical School.

"This just reinforces from the standpoint of public health lesson we have been stressing for decades", which is to limit exposure to secondhand smoke, said the expert, who was not involved in the study.

Nathan said that no one knows why smoking and type II diabetes are related, but said the inflammation play an important role in both processes.

The expert added that although The study involved women, there is no reason to believe that the results also apply to men.
