Is smoking harmful to the liver?

Smoking has an effect on the liver.

Alcohol and tobacco can affect the lipid metabolism of the liver. The survey shows that the mortality rate of smokers in patients with liver cancer is 1.6- 1.7 times that of non-smokers. Once patients with chronic liver disease drink alcohol, about 90-95% of alcohol will be metabolized in the liver, thus increasing the oxygen consumption capacity of the liver. So the liver will be hypoxic and necrotic.

Extended data:

Tobacco smoke contains hundreds of harmful substances, among which 69 known carcinogens can directly cause oral and pharyngeal malignant tumors, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, renal cancer, bladder cancer and cervical cancer. In addition, smoking can also lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Secondhand smoke exposure can also cause serious harm to the body, leading to lung cancer, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Exposure of pregnant women to secondhand smoke can lead to birth weight loss, premature delivery and sudden infant death syndrome. The harm caused by children's exposure to second-hand smoke should not be underestimated.
