No matter how you smoke it, tobacco is dangerous to your health. There are
no safe substances in any tobacco products, from acetone and tar to nicotine and
carbon monoxide. The substances you inhale do not just affect your lungs. They can
affect your entire body. Smoking can lead to a variety of ongoing complications in the
body, as well as long-term effects on your body systems. While smoking can increase
your risk of a variety of problems over several years, some of the bodily effects are
immediate. Learn more about the symptoms and overall effects of smoking on the
body below.
Tobacco harms the health, the treasury, and the spirit of Malaysia. Every year,
more than 27200 of its people are killed by tobacco-caused disease. Still, more than
44000 children (10-14 years old) and 4528000 adults (15+ years old) continue to use
tobacco each day. Complacency in the face of the tobacco epidemic insulates the
tobacco industry in Malaysia and ensures that tobacco's death toll will grow every
year. Tobacco control advocates must reach out to other communities and resources
to strengthen their efforts and create change. While the effects of smoking may not
be immediate, the complications and damage can last for years. The good news is
that quitting smoking can reverse many effects.
Smoking not only impacts your cardiovascular health, but also the health of those
around you who don’t smoke. Exposure to second hand smoke carries the same risk
to a nonsmoker as someone who does smoke. Risks include stroke, heart attack, and
heart disease. The more obvious signs of smoking involve skin changes. Substances
in tobacco smoke actually change the structure of your skin. A recent study has shown
that smoking dramatically increases the risk of squamous cell carcinoma (skin
cancer).Your fingernails and toenails aren’t immune from the effects of smoking.
Smoking increases the likelihood of fungal nail infections. Hair is also affected by
nicotine. An older study found it increases hair loss, balding, and graying.
