Starting the day with hot tea is a common ritual for many. While tea has numerous health benefits, pairing it with smoking can lead to severe health issues.

Double Trouble: Tea and Cigarettes
Smoking is a well-known cause of cancer, but many still ignore the dangers. A recent study reveals that combining hot tea with smoking significantly increases health risks, especially esophageal cancer.

Study Findings
Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the study tracked 456,155 participants aged 30-79 over nine years. Results show that drinking hot tea along with smoking or heavy alcohol consumption can increase esophageal cancer risk fivefold.

Expert Insights
Dr. Cancing Yu from the National Natural Science Foundation of China led the research, highlighting the dangers of hot tea when combined with smoking and alcohol. Professor Andrew Sharrocks from the University of Manchester noted that Western countries tend to drink tea at lower temperatures, which is less harmful compared to the higher temperatures favored in China.

Conclusion
Both smoking and alcohol significantly raise cancer risks. Adding hot tea to these habits exacerbates the problem. Avoiding smoking, drinking, and excessively hot tea is essential to reduce the risk of deadly diseases like cancer.
