Recognizing the potential of cancer simply by observing the texture of your toenails is the latest breakthrough in anticipation of the disease before it develops into more severe, quoted from the pages of The Sun.

The research team University of San Diego, California, believe it after doing research on a group of smokers and non-smokers or passive. They measured levels of nicotine through the nail samples.

As a result, cigarette addicts were three times more likely to develop lung cancer than people who smoke only occasionally in his life or even a passive smoker.

The study reveals a person who has the seed of cancer, then the nails will not grow normally, which grows about one centimeter per year. This growth is much slower than normal nail growth. This gives guidance to those affected by long-term exposure to cigarette smoke at greater risk of getting cancer.
