The exact causes of bladder cancer are unknown.
Smoking is believed to be an important cause of bladder cancer. Exposure to
certain toxic chemicals and drugs may also result in cancer. The risk of cancer
increases with age.
Exposure to carcinogens in the
workplace and the use of cyclophosphamide or arsenic drugs increase the risk for
bladder cancer. Aromatic amines, an organic chemicals used in dye industry, is
linked with bladder cancer. Workers in the rubber, chemical, leather, textile,
paints and printing industries are also at increased risk.
People
with a family history of bladder cancer may have an increased risk of developing
the disease. Those whose diets include large amounts of fried meats and animal
fats are also at higher risk of bladder cancer. Frequent bladder infections, bladder
stones, and other urinary tract problems that irritate the bladder increase the
risk of developing a cancer, more commonly squamous cell carcinoma.

Ans:
Dear Suresh,
Smoking is hazardous to your health. There is no reason why should start this bad habbit at this age it is a very difficult habit to break once you are addicted to cigarettes. Smoking can cause lung problems such as Asthma and lung cancer. Throat cancer is another complication of smoking .
SO PLEASE STOP SMOKING..
You may not have cancer but there is no reason to indulge in risky behaviour. Some Cancers are curable if treated early. Stress can cause sweating high heart rate etc..
If your symptoms persists you may have to consult a doctor.
Please take care.
