This article is about men who smoke. Only men have Y chromosomes and if they loose that chromosome they have a higher risk of getting cancer. Smoking can make them loose the Y chromosome. It also explains why women tend to live a little longer than men. I chose this article because I thought it looked very interesting, which it was. I wonder if you are a male and do not smoke if it is still possible for you to loose your Y chromosome.
