Aside from being annoying to anyone trying to catch a few Zzzzzsss near you, snoring can be quite deadly, according to a study featured in the New York Times. Scientists think snoring can lead to cancer!
Scientists explain that your body does not get enough oxygen when you snore and having low blood oxygen levels can trigger the growth of cancerous tumors.
