Central Nervous System and other damage due to smoking

Smoking has many adverse effects on the human body

First of all it affects the human nervous system, dulls the brain and slows reflexes. It does irreversible damage to the lungs which can cause death. You will be shocked if you see the difference between the lung of a non-smoker and one of a smoker.Cancer is also caused by smoking. Tar, a chemical in cigarettes is a sticky substance which attaches itself onto the lung tissues, there it multiplies when the lung tissue divides and thus the smoker suffers from a damaged lung tissue which is mutated.Emphysema another disease in the lung is caused by smoking, in emphysema the smokers cough damages the alveoli in the lungs, (Air sacs) which makes them blow up and recombine that reduces the total amount of volume in the lungs. Somewhat similar to hydrogen cyanide - Kills a person by coalescing the alveoli in the lungs.It also deposits fats in the lumen of the arteries which supply blood to the heart, the artery is narrow and so if too much fat accumulates the person might suffer from cardiac arrest/heart attack which could kill him.Smoking pollutes the air as it spews out carbon-di-oxide known to be a green house gas. It also affects the people around the smokers more effectively than the smokers as they do not have a resistance developed towards smoking - A term known as passive smoking. It is one of the most unfair aspects of smoking as people who do not smoke are suffering aswell.

Smoking - Leading to alcohol addiction

Smokers usually tend to go for other drugs and alcohol despite not being a drug, can be abused heavily. Alcohol addiction is one of the leading causes of deaths, due to increased accidents and intoxication. Alcohol addiction should be controlled, and reducing smokers usually tend to decrease the number of alcohol addiction affected people. This too can also damage the Central nervous system greatly.

Smoking causes many other effects aswell

Due to all these effects, the only logical thing to do is to drop the cigarette and move on, but quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do.
