1 -- Carcinogenic breakdown products of certain chemicals and from cigarette smoke are excreted in the urine and stored in the bladder, which possibly causes a local influence on abnormal cell development. Cigarette smoking is the primary risk factor for bladder cancer. The risk in smokers is twice that of non-smokers. Daily fluid intake, pedal pulses, and appetite are all important assessments but these findings would not indicate an increased risk for bladder papilloma.
