can smoking effect your liver in anyway?!


Question: Can smoking effect your liver in anyway?
does smoking have any effect on the liver?

Answers:

he numerous toxins found in cigarette tobacco lead to chronic inflammation and scarring in the liver, which in turn, increases your risk for liver damage including diseases such as Hepatitis B and C, liver cancer and liver fibrosis. Additionally, smoking affects the way your liver processes alcohol and medications, which can increase your risk for alcoholism as well as your overall drug and alcohol tolerance levels.

Think of your liver as your body's natural filter. It's the liver's responsibility to prevent harmful toxins from entering the bloodstream. In addition, your liver helps your body metabolize sugars and carbohydrates, and regulates the flow of bile, the substance that aids in the digestion process. Humans cannot survive without a liver and when the organ is agitated, the body's immune system weakens and becomes more susceptible to disease and infection. Additionally, N-Nitrosodiethylamine, one of the many chemicals found in cigarettes, can cause liver tumors. Another chemical, N-Nitrosopyrrolidine, is proven to contribute to liver cancer. Arsenic, another ingredient found in the smoke you inhale, is also known to increase your risk of developing liver cancer.



of course. the liver has to attempt to filter all of the impurities in your blood.



Yes. But it doesn't matter anyway. It effects your whole body. If you have a cigarette daily, you will die 10 years earlier....

I'm smart :)

I don't think so, alcohol is more likely to effect your liver.



If so, I hope you die.
