- 1. Smoking: The Long and Short Term Effects By: Olivia Arcuri, Violeta Balbiani, Tomas Burgio, Lucas Guglielmone and Juana Miguens
- 3. Short term effects • Addiction Smoking is a hard habit to break out of because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive.
- 4. Short Term Effects • Bad skin Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and nutrients from getting to the skin
- 5. Short Term Effects • Bad breath Cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent bad breath.
- 6. Short Term Effects • Bad-smelling clothes and hair The smell of stale smoke tends to linger. And it's often hard to get the smell of smoke out.
- 7. Short Term Effects • Reduced athletic performance The physical effects of smoking (like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath) impair sports performance.
- 8. Short Term Effects • Greater risk of injury and slower healing time The body's ability to produce collagen reduces, so common sports injuries, such as damage to tendons and ligaments, will heal more slowly in smokers than nonsmokers.
- 9. Short Term Effects • Increased risk of illness Smokers tend to have more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia than nonsmokers. And people with certain health conditions, like asthma, become more sick if they smoke
- 11. Long Term Effects • Many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are actually poisons that can kill you.
- 12. Long Term Effects • Health problems like heart disease, stroke, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), and many types of cancer (including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer.) • These diseases limit a person's ability to be normally active. Smokers tend to be less active than nonsmokers because smoking affects lung power.
- 13. Long Term Effects • Smokers develop wrinkles and yellow teeth, they also lose bone density, which increases their risk of osteoporosis • Lungs become very damaged
- 14. Long Term Effects • Smoking can also cause fertility problems and can impact sexual health in both men and women. • Girls who are on the pill or other hormone- based methods of birth control increase their risk of serious health problems, such as heart attacks, if they smoke.
