How Smoking Affects The Mind And Body?

One more fancy habit, smoking cigarettes, has grown and spread like cancer through out the world. The more its injurious effect on health is advertised and propagated, the more people are drawn to smoking.

It is not the smoker alone who suffers the ill-effects of cigarette smoking but the others around him are also affected. This is known as passive smoking.

The over-stimulating inhalations of the cigarette disturb the normal and natural rhythm of respiration. The nicotine and tar present in the cigarette cling to the lungs.

Smoking causes the heart to beat faster. The carbon monoxide present in the cigarette reduces the supply of oxygen to the heart by absorbing the oxygen in the blood. The muscles of the heart suffer great strain due to the inadequate supply of oxygen.

A variety of lung disorders and other respiratory disorders like chronic cough, asthma,etc., are the consequences of smoking.
