Discuss the Effects of Smoking on Body Parts
Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in your lungs.
Lung diseases caused by smoking include emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.
If you have asthma, tobacco smoke can trigger an attack or make an attack worse.
Effects of smoking on other body parts:
reduced lung function and breathlessness due to swelling and narrowing of the lung airways and excess mucus in the lung passages.
raised blood pressure and heart rate.
greater susceptibility to infections such as pneumonia and influenza.
irritation and inflammation of the stomach and intestines.
reduced ability to smell and taste.
