Abstract:
Smoking tobacco is the most important and potentially modifiable risk factor for cancer in Germany. Combining tobacco with alcohol can multiply cancer risks. Up to 30 % of cancer deaths are due to tobacco smoking. 23,3 % of 18-64 year-old Germans are current smokers; in addition, 11 % of the population are regularly exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke. Tobacco smoking is causally associated with oropharyngeal, laryngeal, nose, paranasal sinus, lung, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatocellular, biliary, colorectal, kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, uterine cervix and ovary cancers and leukemia. Smokers should be supported to stop smoking and join programmes of cancer screening. Smoking cessation effectively reduces tobacco-associated cancer risk.
