Other Cancers and Smoking Smoking is a major cause of cancer of the oropharynx and bladder among women. Evidence is also strong that women who smoke have increased risk for cancer of the pancreas and kidney.

Women who smoke may have a higher risk for liver cancer and colorectal cancer than women who do not smoke.
