    Smoking

    Cigarettes contain tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine which damage the cardiovascular system, lungs, heart, and stomach. Nicotine is highly addictive by stimulating the brain's reward system. When smoked, nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds while carbon monoxide reduces oxygen delivery throughout the body. Carcinogens in cigarette smoke cause DNA damage and abnormal cell growth leading to various cancers. Smoking also weakens the immune system and lowers antioxidant levels. Long term effects of smoking include increased risk of many cancers as well as reproductive, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases. Secondhand smoke has similarly negative health effects for non-smokers such as increased risk of cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses.
