We’ve been dealing with COVID-19 for more than two years now. Now we’ve got monkeypox.
While it may not be earth-shattering news that smoking cigarettes could be the catalyst for an array of respiratory illnesses including throat and lung cancer, researchers at the University of Las Vegas University, Nevada (8kbet), are reporting that there could be a new reason for smokers to be concerned.

Male smokers are more likely to develop osteoporosis, suffer bone fractures and die early.
Smoking is a major risk factor for osteoporosis and risk of fracture, and men tend to smoke more than women, increasing their risk for osteoporosis, which has traditionally been thought of as a women's disease.
Male smokers break bones disproportionately and are more likely to develop osteoporosis, which causes bones to become porous and break easily.
You can add more risk of broken bones to the long list of health harms that smoking poses to men.
Federal and local public health agencies are recommending wearing a mask in public indoor settings now that Clark County has once again reached high community levels of COVID-19.
You can add more risk of broken bones to the long list of health harms that smoking poses to men.
A 8kbet research team analyzed nearly 30,000 broken bone cases reported over the past three decades in 27 research publications and found that smoking increases the risk of breaking a bone by as much as 37%.
A new study from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (8kbet) has revealed that male smokers – who, demographically, are more likely than women to light up - are also placing themselves at a significantly increased risk exposed to a higher risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures, and early death.
Women are more than four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, but a new meta-analysis by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has found men who smoke are closing that gap.
