what are the bad side affects of smoking ?

Answer 1

There are many things. Right now because of smoking I have developed asthma. I'm only 24 but started smoking at 10. I quit 6 months ago but still my body has not gone back. I may have it the rest of my life. Most smokers have a really bad smokers cough. Smokers smell especially if they smoke inside. They are at higher risk of bronchial infections and bronchitis. Worse cases they develop lung cancer or emphysema that may or may not eventually lead to death. What sucks is as a smoker I knew all this. I guess you say it can't happen to you. I don't care what age you are. I didn't quit just for myself though. I don't want to touch a cigarette now or after our child. I do not want them exposed as well. You asked the side effects. I could not name all of them but these are many. Not trying to scare you. That's not even half of the things. Especially if you are pregnant. I do not get ticked off at people who tell you say it's nasty. It really is. But if you start it can be a very long struggle to quit.

Answer 2

death, heart and lung disease, cancer (not just your lungs), stomach ulcers, discolored teeth, bad breath, smelly home and car that no one wants to buy unless they are also smokers. And if you are a diabetic you can loose your eye sight because it reacts with the veins in the eye. had a co-worker that eye bleed out of her pupil onto her iris - real ugly. she lost her sight for a couple days and might loose it completely if she does not stop smoking. nasty stuff - nothing good about it except you usually keep slim because you have not much of an appetite. The only good cigarette is an unlit one - the tobacco smells great - just don't light it. hA!

Answer 9

Heart disease. Smoking is responsible for 30 percent of all heart attacks and cardiovascular deaths.
Cancer. It is responsible for at least 30 percent of all cancer deaths and 87 percent of lung cancer deaths each year.
Lung problems. Smoking is responsible for 82 percent of deaths due to emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
Smoking also exacerbates diseases and conditions that are not always fatal, but cause suffering or are sources of personal concern.
Smoking delays healing of peptic ulcers of the stomach and duodenum, many of which would heal spontaneously in non-smokers.
Its effects on blood vessels cause chronic pains in the legs (claudication) which can progress to gangrene and amputations of the toes or feet.
An effect on elastic tissue causes wrinkling of the skin of the face to develop earlier in chronic smokers. On average they look 5 years older than non-smokers of the same age do.
Smoking also brings on an earlier menopause in women, advancing it by an average of 5 years.
It reduces women's fertility and delays conception after they stop using oral contraceptives.
It impairs erections in middle-aged and older men and may affect the quality of their sperm. It seems to "sedate" sperm and to impair their motility. This is reversed after stopping smoking.
Smoking accelerates the rate of osteoporosis, a disease which causes bones to weaken and fracture more easily.
Women who smoke during pregnancy damage their unborn child, causing effects that last throughout the child's life. The risks of miscarriage, premature birth, and death of the baby in its first year of life are all significantly increased.
Need To Know:Smoking During Pregnancy
In addition to the risk of miscarriage, premature birth, and death of the baby in its first year of life, a woman's smoking during pregnancy also has other effects on the baby:
The growth and development of all unborn babies is impaired if their mothers smoke. On average, birth weight is reduced by about half a pound. This makes little difference to a baby of normal weight, but could be crucial to ones weighing 3 to 4 pounds.The development of the brain is also affected. Children whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are on average about one year behind non-exposed children in reading and numerical ability, for example. Loss of a few IQ points may be hardly noticeable to a normally intelligent child or adult, but may be critical for someone on the borderline.The child will be more likely to have behavioral problems and hyperactivity.Finally, during the first few years of life, children are especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of passive smoking if their parents smoke. These effects include worsening of asthma, increased frequency of colds and ear infections, and increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

Tobacco smoke is a mixture of gases and small particles made up of water, tar and nicotine. The tar is a messy mixture of hundreds of toxic chemicals, many of which are known to cause cancer (for example, nitrosamines, benzpyrene).

Many of the gases in tobacco smoke are harmful. These include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, and other toxic irritants such as acrolein and formaldehyde. Due to the high temperatures (over 800°C or 1400°F), the burning end of a cigarette is like a miniature chemical factory. It churns out many more noxious chemicals than are found in unlit tobacco or taken in by use of smokeless tobacco (for example, snuff, which contains no tar or gases). Altogether more than 4,000 chemical compounds have been identified in tobacco smoke.

The way in which smoking causes heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases is quite complex. After absorption through the lungs, carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin in the red blood cells and reduces the amount of oxygen they can carry around the bodyCarbon monoxide and nicotine both appear to play a part in accelerating the deposition of cholesterol in the inner lining of arteries which over many years leads to arteriosclerosis, a kind of hardening and furring up of arteries which reduces blood flow. Cigarette smoking also makes the blood clot more easily, making episodes of thrombosis more likely.Impairment of blood flow, and of oxygen-carrying capacity due to carbon monoxide, all reduce the supply of oxygen. This happens at the same time that the heart's need for oxygen is increased by the stimulant effect of nicotine on the rate and force of the heart's contractions.The lack of oxygen is damaging to the heart and increases the severity of a heart attack.Nicotine can cause further problems by upsetting the regular rhythm of the heart.Nicotine and carbon monoxide are also important factors in peripheral vascular disease, which can lead to gangrene of the feet. Nicotine causes constriction, or narrowing, of the small blood vessels. This, combined with carbon monoxide's oxygen-reducing effect, tips the balance in people with narrowed leg arteries.

Nice To Know:

Within 48 hours after quitting smoking, blood pressure decreases, pulse rate drops, body temperature of hands and feet increases, the carbon monoxide level in the blood returns to normal, the oxygen level in the blood increases to normal, the chance of a heart attack decreases, nerve endings start regrowing, and the ability to taste and smell is increased.


Within the first year after quitting smoking circulation and lung function increase, and coughing, sinus congestion and shortness of breath decrease.
I can name more bad side affects of smoking but i think this will help you
