According to the study, published in the journal Cancer Research, Melanoma patients with a history of smoking cigarettes are 40 per cent less likely to survive their skin cancer than people who have never smoked within a decade after their diagnosis.

Other researchers have reported that smoking has adverse effects on the immune system, but it is not yet known which chemicals are responsible for this. lead researcher Julia Newton-Bishop, Professor at the University of Leeds said, "The immune system is like an orchestra, with multiple pieces. This research suggests that smoking might disrupt how it works together in tune, allowing the musicians to continue playing but possibly in a more disorganised way.”

Smoking could directly affect how smokers' bodies deal with the melanoma cancer cells, said the researchers. Julie Sharp, head at Cancer Research UK in Britain said, "Overall, these results show that smoking could limit the chances of melanoma patients' survival so it's especially important that they are given all the support possible to give up smoking for good.”
