It’s crazy how the world is bombarded of the negative effects of smoking but still people don’t stop. How can you trade your life to something as small as a 3.94-inch stick? C’mon, you are bigger than that!

Yes, smoking kills! Worse, most of the time it kills slowly. Just one suck on the end of a lit cigarette and a whole lot of toxic gases go through your lungs into the bloodstream. These toxic gases will then spread to every organ of the body, slowly damaging them — until it’s too late. According to World Health Organization, direct tobacco use kills more than 8 million a year around the world, 1.3 million of whom are nonsmokers, or those who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Like, seriously? Yes, get this…

  • Risk for stroke. The chemicals in tobacco make the blood sticky which narrows the blood vessels. This can lead to plaque and clot formation that can cause ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Smoking increases the risk for stroke by two to four times, higher if you consume more.
  • Damaging to lungs, which may result to cancer. Smoking increases the risk for lung disease, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease o COPD, which has no cure. With COPD, there is a big chance to suffer from chronic bronchitis, the inflammation of the large airways. Or pneumonia or emphysema, that affects the air sacs that lead to hard of breathing, cough, or weight loss. Worse, this may develop to cancer of the lungs and other respiratory system cancers, according to hopkinsmedicine.
  • Bad for the heart. Tobacco’s harmful chemicals can lead to coronary heart disease o coronary artery disease. Smoking also increases cholesterol levels which lead to inflammation of the blood vessels and arteries. This causes heart attack — or worse, death.
  • Poison to body. Tobacco contains more than 7,000 harmful chemicals, such as acetone, butane, arsenic, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, lead, nicotine, tar, and many more that slowly poison the body.

Well, not only are your organs damaged because of smoking, but your drive for sex also dies. If nicotine and other harmful chemicals of tobacco are present in your blood vessels, the arteries become narrow and it is hard for the blood to flow to the penis to have an erection.

Best thing to do? QUIT SMOKING! Not only will you save money, but your dear life as well.
