Cigarette smoking causes the deaths of
approximately 3 million persons each year.
Death from this comes in many forms but the
most common cause of death is lung cancer.
Damaged lungs
Smoking reduces lung function and
breathlessness due to swelling and
narrowing of the lung airways and excess
mucus in the lung passages. Their lungs
experience inflammation in the small airways
and tissues of the lungs. This makes your
chest feel tight or cause you to wheeze or
feel short of breath. Continued inflammation
builds up scar tissue, which leads to physical
changes to your lungs and airways that
makes breathing hard. Years of lung irritation
can give you a chronic cough with mucus.

Irritation of the trachea and larynx
Too much smoking can irritate the vocal
cords and dry the vocal cord mucosa.It can
result in inflammation on the vocal cords. It
can cause coughing, sputum, and vocal cord
feeling of irritation. It is a form of vocal cord
abuse and consistent damage to it will result
in change of voice, loss of voice and chronic
laryngitis.
The toxicants in the cigarette smoke paralyze
