Smoking leads to cervical herniated disc
I know I am being politically incorrect but I am a chain smoker. I have been trying to kick this habit but somehow even with the best of intentions, I fail. But, now seriously I have to do something about this because I am saddled with a problem about which I knew nothing till now. It is a Cervical Herniated Disc which though basically a middle-age problem also gets aggravated by smoking. And here I plead guilty. Having constant pain in the neck is one of the effects of this and it is a real ‘pain in the neck’ (pun intended). Maybe, just maybe, this problem may have come as a godsend for me to give up smoking.
