One effect is that the oxidising chemicals in cigarette smoke oxidise the fats in your blood to make them harder for the body to break down. These fats build up in your veins and arteries reducing blood circulation.

Nicotine is also a vasospastic agent, which means it can cause your arteries to clamp down and decrease blood flow to vulnerable areas (like a fetus if you're pregnant). This same effect raises your blood pressure. In addition, nicotine causes your heart to beat faster.
