CHECK-UP FOR SMOKERS
Smoking is one of the major risk factors for heart diseases and tumour growth
(lung cancer). Studies have shown that smoking approximately 20 cigarettes per day reduces your
lifetime up to 15 years and every second smoker dies due to a smoking-related illness. Our special
check-up for smokers was developed in order to diagnose already existing heart and lung
disease.
