What are the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes?!


Question: What are the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes?
Answers:

Harmful Effects of Smoking:

1-The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.

2- This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.

3- Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.

4-Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.

5- Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.

6- Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.

7- Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.

8- Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.

9- Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.

10- Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.

11- In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of low birth weight, prematurity, spontaneous abortion, and perinatal mortality in humans, which has been referred to as the fetal tobacco syndrome.



Heart attack. One of my best mate's father smoked menthol cigarettes and passed away in his 50's as a result of such. I admit to liking the occasional cigar, and I'm NOT anti smoking, but cigarettes lead to an early death.



Cancer, and it's not pretty. You sit in a bed for a month knowing you're going to die, and then the last week of it is hell on earth and you're in pain and dying but nothing you can do about it. You don't just fall asleep peacefully.



Having trouble breathing, it affects how much oxygen you can get into your body at a time, I you smoke for along time and get emphasima, you will feel like your breathing through a stir straw



The same as consuming to much alcohol. Also breathing in too many exhaust fumes from vehicles.
