IMPACT
OF SMOKING ON YOUR FAMILY
Addiction of smoking is
not only injurious to your health but it also affects your family and children.
Your loved ones can be harmed by breathing second hand smoke i.e., in the form
of passive smoking, which consists of the
mainstream smoke that you exhale and the side stream smoke that wafts from your
cigarette. Side stream smoke can be four times as harmful as mainstream smoke.
Your family are also subject to the ill effects of passive and involuntary
smoking not only now but many years into the future.
Tobacco smoke is
enormously harmful to your health. There’s no safe way to smoke. It effects:-
·
Cardiovascular
System:
Smoking
damages your entire cardiovascular system. When nicotine hits your body, it
gives your blood sugar a boost. After a short time, you’re left feeling tired
and craving more. Nicotine causes blood vessels to tighten, which restricts the
flow of blood (peripheral artery disease). Smoking lowers good cholesterol
levels and raises blood pressure, which can result in stretching of the
arteries and a buildup of bad cholesterol (atherosclerosis). Smoking raises the
risk of forming blood clots.
·
Skin,
Hair, and Nails (Integumentary System):
Some
of the more obvious signs of smoking involve the skin. The substances in
tobacco smoke actually change the structure of your skin. Smoking causes skin
discoloration, wrinkles, and premature aging. Your fingernails and the skin on
your fingers may have yellow staining from holding cigarettes. Smokers usually
develop yellow or brown stains on their teeth. Hair holds on to the smell of
tobacco long after you put your cigarette out. It even clings to nonsmokers.
·
Digestive
System:
Smoking
also depresses appetite, so you may not be getting all the nutrients your body
needs. Withdrawal from tobacco products can cause nausea.
Smoking also has an effect on
insulin, making it more likely that you’ll develop insulin resistance. That
puts you at increased risk of type 2 diabetes. When it comes to diabetes,
smokers tend to develop complications at a faster rate than nonsmokers.
Restricted blood flow can affect a
man’s ability to get an erection. Both men and women who smoke may have
difficulty achieving orgasm and are at higher risk of infertility. Women who
smoke may experience menopause at an earlier age than nonsmoking women. Smoking
increases a woman’s risk of cervical cancer. Smokers experience more
complications of pregnancy, including miscarriage, problems with the placenta,
and premature delivery.
