@fearfracture smoking does not cause breast cancer. The risk with HRT I believe, is breast cancer, and 75% of breast cancers are in people without family history.
I also want to emphasize that while falls may be the main cause of hip fractures, spinal fractures can happen, eventually, from sneezing, coughing, reaching, twisting- you get the picture. Even I have been told, from hugging. I just made one unwise movement and fractured three lumbar vertebrae. No impact from a fall, no dramatic moves.

The only person I know personally who got ovarian cancer and died in her early 50s from it, drank and smoked a lot. I also know smokers who never get cancer but as they age, the negative effects of the smoking, chemicals and constantly depriving their bodies of oxygen, are readily apparent.
HRT can cause breast or ovarian cancer (other “female cancers”).

Smoking destroys the body and although too many ppl only associate smoking with lung cancer, smoking can cause pretty much any type of cancer along with a plethora of other negative health conditions.

If a woman smokes and takes HRT, common sense says that woman’s smoking habit will increase her risk of getting breast cancer.
