What negative impacts do tobacco and smoking have?
Smoking may cause cancer practically everywhere in the body and is mostly responsible for lung cancer.
Cancer
Chronic obstructive disorder (COPD), a severe, progressive, and debilitating disorder that restricts airflow in the lungs, is mostly brought on by smoking.
Breathing problems
Smoking is a significant contributor to cardiovascular conditions including stroke and heart disease.
Heart disease
Smoking promotes type 2 diabetes, and those who smoke frequently have a 30 to 40% greater chance of getting the disease than non-smokers.
Diabetes
Smoking impairs your immune system, making viral and bacterial illnesses more likely to occur.
Infections
The risks of gum disorders, tooth loss, and tooth sensitivity are all increased by smoking.
Dental problems
The inner ear receives less blood when a smoker. Smokers are also more likely to experience hearing loss than non-smokers.
Hearing loss
The primary cause of blindness in Australia is macular degeneration, which is brought on by smoking and harms the eye.
Vision loss
Smoking can lower sperm quality and make it harder to get pregnant.
Fertility problems
In comparison to a non-smoker, smoking increases the risk of osteoporosis and can cause early menopause in females.
