Health Impacts of Smoking

 Whether smoked or chewed, tobacco is dangerous to your health.  Tobacco products contain unsafe substances, from acetone and tar to  nicotine and carbon monoxide. The inhaled substances can affect your  lungs and the other organs in your body.

Smoking  can lead to ongoing complications and long-term effects on your body  systems. While smoking can increase your risk of certain health  conditions over years, like glaucoma, cancer, and issues with blood  clotting, some of the bodily effects happen immediately. But quitting smoking can reverse many of these effects on your body.
