A person's health is related to his habits. Your wrong habits only work to spoil your health. Many bad habits are seen in today's youth, one of which is smoking. Smoking cigarettes has become the fashion of the youth nowadays. Cigarette smokers smoke back-to-back without caring for their health. Many harmful chemicals like nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, arsenic, ammonia, lead, benzene, butane, cadmium, hexamine, and toluene are found in cigarette smoke which causes cancer. But do you know that cigarette causes not only cancer but also many other diseases in the body? Here we are going to tell you about it.
Breathlessness
By smoking, the tar present in the smoke accumulates in our lungs, due to which our tubes get blocked. Due to this, a person has problems like fatigue and shortness of breath. Carbon monoxide present in cigarette smoke reduces the oxygen level in our blood. Due to this, all the organs of the body can be severely damaged.
Risk of diabetes
Active bidi smoking is associated with an increased risk of type-2 diabetes, according to a 2007 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It also impairs glucose metabolism, which may be the beginning of type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, it appears to increase the risk of diabetes through body mass index-independent mechanisms. Another study published in 2012 in the Journal of Diabetes found that secondhand smoke and active smoking are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in women. In addition, women who smoke during pregnancy are at increased risk of gestational diabetes and the child may be at risk of developing diabetes later.
Decreased fertility
Smoking is largely responsible for the decrease in fertility. According to research, smoking harms the number of male sperm and cells in the development of the fetus. Women who smoke are more likely to miscarry or have health problems in the baby they give birth to. Also, smoking can lead to ovulation problems.
