Dr Christopher Li, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, and his team analyzed data from young women in the Greater Seattle area who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 2004 and 2010.
Of those women, 778 were diagnosed with the more common oestrogen receptor-positive type and 182 had the less common but more aggressive triple-negative type.
The researchers also included information from 938 cancer-free women for comparison.'I think there is growing evidence that breast cancer is another health hazard associated with smoking,'said Dr Li.
According to the National Cancer Institute, about one in every eight American women will eventually develop breast cancer -but the risk is lower at younger ages.
