Cervical cancer is one of the leading health threats to women worldwide. While factors like HPV infection, poor lifestyle choices, and lack of medical screening play a role, few realize that certain selfish and harmful habits of husbands can also put their wives at higher risk.
Below are three habits that men should stop immediately—not only to protect themselves but also to safeguard their partners and families.
1. Smoking Around Their Wives
Many men are addicted to cigarettes, often smoking a pack or more per day. Whether it’s stress relief, habit, or social influence, this behavior harms more than just the smoker.
Secondhand smoke is almost as dangerous as active smoking. Research shows it can damage a woman’s reproductive system and increase the risk of cervical cancer, breast cancer, and even complications during pregnancy such as premature birth or miscarriage.
