When compared to those who did not smoke, smokers tend to feel less healthy, more vulnerable developing, more often do not enter employment for reasons of sickness, and if in inpatient at the HOSPITAL will require a longer time.
In smokers, the higher risk of complications and the ability to survive after undergoing surgery declined because of damage to the immune system. The high risk of infection, pneumonia, and other respiratory complications have also been ready to stop him.
Smoking Contributes To The Whole Body

| Disease In Smokers |
Smoking causes peripheral artery disease that can affect blood flow throughout the body. Happens, the arteries that supply blood to the legs become narrow due to atherosclerosis.
Although atherosclerosis is more commonly associated with heart disease, atherosclerosis, however, can affect any artery in the body, including the feet and the brain. The healthy arteries are strong, flexible and elastic, as well as the wall it gently so that it allows blood to move freely along the artery to supply the tissue and organs.
Cancer is the first disease associated with smoking. Smoking can cause several types of cancer, including cancer of the mouth, throat cancer, laryngeal cancer, and cancer of the esophagus.
Within 10 seconds after it sucked up, nicotine in cigarettes will soon reach the brain. When you suck smoking that is the case the delivery of chemicals to the brain which will change the nature of the chemical in the brain that affect the feelings of a smoker. It is known that smoking is a leading cause of stroke.
Smoking can also affect your eyes. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of cataracts of 2-3 times higher. Cataracts are the main cause of blindness in the world.
Smokers are more easily exposed to upper respiratory tract infections like the flu and sore throat due to virus infection or bacteria. Smoking is damaging the body's ability to fight infection, so that the body becomes vulnerable to the disease.
Smoking and your lungs
Male smokers are 23 times higher risk of lung cancer while women smokers are 13 times higher risk of developing cancer of the lung. Smoking causes about 90% of deaths due to lung cancer in men and about 8% in women. However the low cigarette nicotine and tar will not lower the risk of lung cancer.
Smoking causes damage to the airway of the lung which can result in chronic obstruction pulmonary disease (COPD), including emphysema. Smokers are exposed to the risk of lower respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia or acute bronchitis caused by viral infection or bacteria.
Smoking is associated with asthma in children and adolescents. Asthma is a disease that is characterized by swelling of the airway, causing the constriction, and impede the flow of air to and from the lungs.
Smoking is associated with chronic coughs and gasps. Smoking for the children and teenagers will interfere with the development of the lungs. Pulmonary function, which is measured from how effective your lungs move air to and from the body naturally, decreased in line with age. This decline faster in smokers. Cigarette smoking during pregnancy can reduce lung function in the fetus.
Smoking and heart
Smoking causes coronary heart disease. Smoking is linked to all types of fatalities due to heart attacks in men and women. Coronary heart disease due to smoking may contribute to congestive heart failure. However the low cigarette nicotine and tar will not lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
Smoking causes atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Toxins in the blood that comes from smoking contribute to cause atherosclerosis. Many cases of coronary heart disease, strokes and artery disease is caused by atherosclerosis.
Smoking and pregnancy
Those who do not smoke have fewer complications to the pregnancy and have healthier babies than smokers. Smoking can cause cancer of the cervix (cervical). Tobacco use increases the risk of cancer-cell change into cancer of the cervix. At birth, babies will pass through the cervix. Smoking can cause infertility in women, making it difficult to have children.
Cigarette smoking during pregnancy is dangerous because pregnancy is a time of fetal development. A mother gave birth to a premature baby can smoker or with low birth weight, respiratory ailments and other diseases. Low birth weight is the leading cause of death in infants.
The nicotine in cigarettes would cause the blood vessels in the umbilical cord and the uterus constricts, thus lowers the amount of oxygen that the baby receives. Nicotine also decreases the amount of blood in the baby's bloodstream, which can result in low birth weight baby.
Women who smoke during their pregnancy has the risk of rupture of membranes before birth process prematurely started. This may lead to premature birth and possible death of the fetus.
