 Negative effects:
• Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in
the body, causing many illnesses and affecting
health in general. The negative effects of smoking
on circulatory system include increased heart
rate and blood pressure, coronary heart disease,
arteriosclerosis, and vascular diseases. The
respiratory diseases caused by smoking are
chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma,
coughs, colds, tuberculosis, lung cancer and
other respiratory infections.
The negative effects of smoking on circulatory system
include:
Increased Heart Rate (pulse abnormality)
 Blood Pressure (pressure exerted by blood)
 Coronary Heart Disease (condition caused by coronary
artery disease)
 Arteriosclerosis (a common arterial disease in which
raised areas of degeneration and cholesterol deposits
plaques form on the inner surfaces of the arteries
obstructing blood flow)
 Vascular Diseases (inflammation of blood or lymph
vessel)
 The negative effects of smoking on respiratory
system are:

• Bronchitis (inflammation of lungs: inflammation of the

mucous membrane in the airways bronchial tubes of the
lungs, resulting from infection or irritation and causing
breathing problems and severe coughing)
• Emphysema (lung condition causing breathing impairment: a
chronic medical disorder of the lungs in which the air sacs are
dilated or enlarged and lack flexibility, so that breathing is
impaired and infection sometimes occurs)
• Asthma (respiratory disease: a disease of the respiratory
system, sometimes caused by allergies, with symptoms
including coughing, sudden difficulty in breathing, and a
tight feeling in the chest)
• Tuberculosis (tubercle-forming disease: an infectious
disease that causes small rounded swellings tubercles to
form on mucous membranes, especially a disease
pulmonary tuberculosis that affects the lungs)
• Lung Cancer (malignancy of the lungs that is the leading
cause of cancer deaths for both men and women)
 PERFORMANCE TASK

 Open Letter
The whole world is suffering from the COVID-19
pandemic and every government is exhausted its
effort to fight against the virus. If you will be given a
chance to write a letter to President Duterte, what
