body does not need as much oxygen as it does when you exercise.

● Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing many
illnesses and affecting health in general. The negative effects of smoking on
the circulatory system include increased in heart rate and blood pressure,
coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, and vascular diseases. The
respiratory diseases caused by smoking are chronic bronchitis emphysema,

systems is to have a healthy lifestyle, which includes balanced diet, regular
