f youare a regular smoker, when the blood level ofnicotine falls, you usually develop withdrawalsymptoms such as craving, anxiety, restlessness,headaches, irritability, hunger, difficulty withconcentration, or just feeling awful. Thesesymptoms are relieved by the next cigarette. So,most smokers need to smoke regularly to feel'normal', and to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas found in

car fumes, which reduces the amount of

oxygen carried in the blood. Oxygen is vital for

the bodys organs to function efficiently. The

reduction in oxygen changes the consistency

of the blood, making it thicker and putting the

heart under increased strain as it pumps bloodaround the body. After Some

Time you could get strokes .

Tar

Tar contains many substances that is proven to

cause cancer. Irritants found in tar damage the

Blood flow to the extremities is decreased (cold hands and feet).

Smoking decreases the oxygen supply, requiring a higher bloodpressure, thus causing extensive circulatory problems and

premature heart attacks. Smokers have difficulty running andexercising.

Air pollution (auto exhausts, industry wastes, etc.) increases thelung cancer rate of the smoker, but not of the non-smoker.

The time to recover from any specific ill, whether caused bysmoking or not, is much longer for the smoker. Often, a non-smoker

will survive a sickness from which he would have died had hesmoked.

The smoker's body requires more sleep every night. This extra sleepmust come from his spare time. Besides needing more sleep,smokers don't sleep as well.

Smokers are sick more often, Smoking destroys vitamins,

particularly vitamin C and the B's. Lower intelligence has beenrelated to smoking. In fact, smoking is both a cause and an effect oflower intelligence, just as smoking is both a cause and effect oflower income.
