Smoking May Cause Early Onset of Menopause

According to Norwegian scientists, daily smoking may cause the start of menopause to happen early. As menopause normally starts around 50 with common symptoms being mood swings, hot flashes, and insomnia.

The research showed that women who smoke are 59% more likely to start menopause before the age of 45. The heavier you smoke is the risks seem to double.

This is just another problem that is now being linked to smoking which is already linked to many cancers including lung cancer.
