10. Effects Of
Smoking
• Halitosis (Bad Breath)
• Lung cancer
• Memory loss with passage of
time
• Premature aging
• Low sperm count
• Emphysema
• COPD
• Wrinkles
11. Let’s examine a few
of these effects
•Lung Cancer
• Lung cancer, also known as carcinoma of the
lung or pulmonary carcinoma, is a malignant
lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell
growth in tissues of the lung.
• Radon is the second-most common cause of
lung cancer in the USA, causing about 21,000
deaths each year.
12. COPD
• COPD: It stands for Chronic obstructive
Pulmonary Disease.
• “The co-occurrence of chronic bronchitis and
emphysema, a pair of commonly co-existing
diseases of the lungs in which the airways
become narrowed. This leads to a limitation
of the flow of air to and from the lungs,
causing shortness of breath.”
• Simply put, COPD patients find it hard to
breath.
13. Premature
Aging
• Smokers tend to age quickly even though
they may not be advanced in years, their
face say it all. Full of wrinkles and lacking in
shine, this is because every puff of cigarette
smoke you inhale diminishes the skin’s
oxygen supply by reducing circulation.
• Collagen, the fibrous protein responsible for
producing new, healthy skin, is greatly
reduced while the water content of the skin
also drops significantly.
• This is what leads to a smoker’s sagging and
ugly skin.
14. Low Sperm Count
• Men who smoke may have a lower sperm count than do
those who don’t smoke.
• Additionally , smokers tend to have lower sex drives and
less frequent sex, according to the American Society for
Reproductive medicine and the Canadian Fertility society.
• On the average, smokers had sex only half the times
compared to non-smokers and sex was less gratifying.
• The semen of non-smokers was superior to that of smokers
both in terms of sperm viability and longevity a the toxins
from nicotine as the toxins from nicotine weakens sperm
count.
• Sperm motility reduces sperm life span, and may cause
genetic changes that put the child at risk.
• Second hand smoke may also affect male fertility.
15. Heart Diseases
• Smokers tend to suffer from heart
diseases and strokes. This is because
smoking causes fat deposits to
constrict and block blood vessels
which leads to heart attack.
• Statistics have it that smoking causes
around two in five deaths from heat
diseases. In younger people two out
of four deaths from heart disease
are due to cigarette smoking.

16. Effects of Smoking During Pregnancy
• Smoking during pregnancy can be likened to
putting a cigarette in your baby’s mouth. This is
because of babies take in over 70% of what you
take in, including what you breathe.
• Therefore ,cigarette smoking during pregnancy
increases the risk of low birth weight,
premature birth, spontaneous abortion, and
parental mortality in humans, which has been
referred to as the fetal tobacco syndrome. it has
even been linked to learning disabilities in
children whose parents smoked when they
were in womb.
