Bad Effects of smoking

• Cancer smoking has been linked to 11 forms of cancer, including cancer of the

esophagus, mouth, pancreas, bladder, and kidney. According to recent studies,

smokers are 26 times more likely to die of lung cancer than non-smokers.

• Emphysema is a chronic disease that destroys parts of the lungs and results in

shortness of breath, hyperventilation, and asthma-like attacks.

• Coronary artery disease, smoking reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the

heart, increases blood clotting and blood pressure, and decreases high-density

lipoprotein or "good" cholesterol.
