Smoking is dangerous, not just for your lungs, but your entire body. The chemicals generated from tobacco and cigarettes can damage your body, as well as lead to life-threatening diseases. Whether you smoke a cigar, pipe or cigarette, the risks are the same; there is no safe way to consume tobacco. Lung and skin cancer, as well as heart disease, are among the most prevalent causes of death of smokers. Cancer of the mouth and throat are also caused by smoking. Smoking effects can also lead to decreased fertility in women, high blood pressure, as well as bad breath and wrinkly skin. Smoking can also damage your bones.
Unfortunately, smoking affects not only the health of the smoker, but also those around her. The risks of a stroke and heart attack from secondhand smoke are the same for both smokers and nonsmokers. For more information on how smoking is injurious to health, see the infographic below.
