Smoking At Least A Pack A Day Tied To Higher Diabetes Risk Among Black Adults,

reported that a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association suggests that “smoking at least a pack of cigarettes a day is tied to a higher risk of developing diabetes” among black adults. According to Reuters, “While previous research has found that smokers and black people both have higher risks of diabetes than nonsmokers and individuals from other racial and ethnic backgrounds, the current study offers fresh evidence that the amount of cigarette use can impact this risk.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-smoking-diabetes/heavy-smoking-tied-to-higher-diabetes-risk-for-black-adults-idUSKBN1FF2MZ
