Dangerous Effects

of Smoking in
Health
BSB 1B
I. INTRODUCTION
Smoking is a dangerous habit that has severe effects
on the health of individuals. It is estimated that
smoking causes more than 7 million deaths worldwide
every year. Smoking not only affects the smoker but
also the people around them through secondhand
smoke. The purpose of this presentation is to raise
awareness about the dangerous effects of smoking on
health.
Through this presentation, we hope to encourage
individuals to quit smoking and prevent others from
starting this deadly habit.
II. Dangerous Effects
of Smoking on Health
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Smoking has a significant impact on the respiratory
1 system, causing shortness of breath, wheezing, and
chronic bronchitis. Smoking also damages the air
sacs in the lungs, making it harder for oxygen to
pass into the bloodstream. This can lead to chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a
progressive lung disease that makes it difficult to
breathe.

Furthermore, smoking weakens the immune system,

making it harder for the body to fight off infections
such as pneumonia. Smokers are also at a higher
risk of developing asthma, a chronic condition that
causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways.
II. Dangerous Effects
of Smoking on Health
CANCER
One of the most well-known and dangerous effects
2 of smoking is an increased risk of cancer. Smoking is
responsible for causing various types of cancer,
including lung, throat, mouth, bladder, kidney, and
pancreatic cancer. When tobacco is burned, it
releases carcinogens that damage DNA, leading to
the formation of cancer cells.

In addition to increasing the risk of cancer, smoking

also makes it harder to treat cancer. Smokers who
are diagnosed with cancer have a higher chance of
developing complications, such as infections and
delayed wound healing, during treatment.
II. Dangerous Effects
of Smoking on Health
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Smoking has a detrimental effect on the
3 cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of heart
disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease.
Nicotine, the addictive substance found in
cigarettes, raises blood pressure and heart rate,
putting extra strain on the heart and blood vessels.
Smoking also damages the lining of the arteries,
leading to the buildup of plaque, which can cause
blockages and increase the risk of heart attack and
stroke.
Additionally, smoking decreases the amount of
oxygen that reaches the heart, making it harder for
the heart to function properly. Over time, this can
lead to heart failure, a condition where the heart
cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's
needs.
II. Dangerous Effects
of Smoking on Health
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
Smoking can have negative effects on the
4 reproductive system, particularly in women. Women
who smoke have a higher risk of infertility,
miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight
babies. Smoking during pregnancy can also lead to
complications such as placenta previa and preterm
labor.
In men, smoking can decrease sperm count and
motility, reducing the chances of conception.
Smoking can also lead to erectile dysfunction, a
condition where a man has difficulty achieving or
maintaining an erection.
II. Dangerous Effects
of Smoking on Health
ORAL HEALTH AND SKIN
Smoking not only affects the respiratory system but
5 also has a significant impact on oral health. The
chemicals in tobacco smoke can cause gum disease,
tooth decay, and even tooth loss. Moreover,
smoking can lead to oral cancer, which is a serious
and often deadly disease. Additionally, smoking can
cause premature aging of the skin, resulting in
wrinkles, age spots, and a dull complexion. These
harmful effects are not limited to smokers
themselves; secondhand smoke can also cause
similar damage to those exposed.
II. Dangerous Effects
of Smoking on Health
SECONDHAND SMOKE EFFECTS
Secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, is the
6 inhalation of smoke from a burning cigarette or other
tobacco products. This type of smoke contains over 7,000
chemicals, many of which are toxic and can cause serious
health problems for non-smokers who are exposed to it. In
fact, secondhand smoke is considered a leading cause of
preventable death worldwide.

Exposure to secondhand smoke can lead to a range of

health problems, including lung cancer, heart disease,
stroke, and respiratory infections such as bronchitis and
pneumonia. Children who are exposed to secondhand
smoke are at an increased risk of developing asthma, ear
infections, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Pregnant women who are exposed to secondhand smoke
are also at risk of having low birth weight babies and
premature delivery.
III. Skills to Resist Temptation to
Smoke and to Quit Smoking
•Identifying triggers and coping mechanisms
•Nicotine replacement therapy and other quitting aids
•Support groups and resources

Quitting smoking is not an easy task, but it is possible. One of the most important
skills to resist temptation to smoke is to identify your triggers. Triggers are
situations or emotions that make you want to smoke. Once you identify your
triggers, you can develop strategies to avoid or cope with them. For example, if
you smoke when you feel stressed, you can try relaxation techniques like deep
breathing or meditation. Another skill to resist temptation is to replace smoking
with a healthier behavior. For instance, instead of smoking after a meal, you can
go for a walk or chew gum.
IV. Benefits of a Smoke-free
Lifestyle
•Improved health and quality of life
•Saving money
•Positive impact on the environment

There are many benefits to quitting smoking. First, you will reduce your risk of
developing serious health problems such as cancer, heart disease, and
stroke. Second, you will save money. Smoking is an expensive habit, and
quitting can help you save hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year.
Third, you will improve your quality of life. Smoking can cause bad breath,
yellow teeth, and wrinkles. When you quit smoking, you will look and feel
better.
 V. Benefits of quitting
smoking
•Improved Lung Function
•Reduced Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke
•Increased Life Expectancy
•Improved Fertility and Sexual Function
•Improved Sense of Taste and Smell
Quitting smoking is not only good for your health, but it also has many other benefits. One of the most significant benefits of a
smoke-free lifestyle is that you will breathe easier. Smoking damages your lungs and makes it harder to breathe. When you quit
smoking, your lung function improves, and you will be able to breathe more easily. This means that you will have more energy and
be able to do more physical activities without getting tired quickly.

Another benefit of quitting smoking is that you will improve your sense of taste and smell. Smoking dulls your senses, making it
harder to taste and smell things. When you quit smoking, your senses will start to recover, and you will be able to enjoy food and
other things more fully. Additionally, when you quit smoking, you will reduce your risk of developing gum disease and tooth loss.
Smoking is a major cause of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss. By quitting smoking, you will protect your teeth and gums
and keep them healthy.
 CONCLUSION
Smoking is a deadly habit that has numerous dangerous effects on
health. From cancer to heart disease, smoking increases the risk of
developing a wide range of serious illnesses. Additionally, smoking not
only affects the smoker but also the people around them through
secondhand smoke. Quitting smoking is the best way to prevent these
harmful effects and improve overall health. Through education and
awareness, we can work together to reduce the number of smokers
and prevent future generations from starting this deadly habit
