Shocked? you should be - your body is every time you puff!

Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco. It increases your heart rate, constrict the blood vessels and puts up the blood pressure.

Tar coats your lungs like it does the roads. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in a mug full of tar every year. Tar damages the hairs that clean the lungs and it inflames the air sacs. Mucus builds up and this results in the smokers' cough. Eventually it causes bronchitis and emphysema. It also yellows the teeth, hands and skin.

Carbon Monoxide robs your brain, heart and muscles of oxygen. Carbon monoxide combines with nicotine to thicken the blood. This can cause heart attacks and stokes, blood clots in the limbs and amputation. 3 out of 4 deaths from heart attacks in men are due to smoking.
