What are the chances of a 21 year old heavy drinker, and smoker having/developing esophageal cancer. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High, if you continu: Cancer of the mouth, throat and esophagus is very common among folks who smoke and also drink. You are basically adding two potent poisons and committing a slow suicide. It is still time to save yourself if you can taper off over a few months and then STOP them both completely in
