Heavy smoking of cigarettes may make black men and women highly susceptible to diabetes mellitus.

Researchers found out that the likelihood of being diagnosed with diabetes mellitus increased by 79% among heavy smokers in this study. The results of this study indicate that intense smoking of cigarettes may result in the development of diabetes mellitus among black men and women.
