Various Health Problems Due to Smoking
The content of chemicals contained in cigarettes is very dangerous for your health as well as those around you. The dangers of smoking for health include:

Cardiovascular Disorders
When you smoke, you will be more likely to have a heart attack. Smokers are two to four times more likely to suffer from heart disease. The risk is even higher if you are a female smoker who is taking birth control pills.
When you smoke, you include harmful substances that can have a bad effect on the body, especially the heart, for example nicotine. When nicotine enters the body, it can reduce the level of oxygen that can enter the blood. This opiate substance can also accelerate heart rate, increase blood pressure, damage blood vessels in the heart, and increase the likelihood of blood clots that can trigger a heart attack. Likewise with the bad consequences of other organs.
The danger of smoking can also be felt by people who do not smoke at all. Cigarette smoke can cause heart disease and lung cancer in passive smokers, namely people who do not smoke but still inhale the smoke.
Brain
The danger of smoking can increase the risk of stroke by 50 percent. This can cause brain damage and death. Smoking can also increase the risk of developing a brain aneurysm. Brain aneurysm is the swelling of blood vessels that occurs due to weakening of the blood vessel wall. At times it can break and cause bleeding in the brain.
Mouth and throat
Bad breath and stained teeth are effects that will result from smoking. Gum disease and damage to the sense of taste can arise due to the danger of smoking. A serious problem that will land on the mouth and throat is the increased risk of cancer of the tongue, throat, lips, and vocal cords.
Lungs
One of the most dangerous effects of smoking is lung cancer. Chemicals in cigarettes have the potential to damage lung cells which can then turn into cancer cells. Other serious diseases that you can experience are bronchitis, pneumonia, and emphysema.
Stomach
Smoking can weaken the muscles that control the lower part of your esophagus. This allows the acid from the stomach to move in the wrong direction, which rises to the esophagus. This condition is called gastric acid disease or GERD. Some of the risks of other stomach diseases that can occur in a smoker are ulcers or peptic ulcers and gastric cancer.
Bone
Toxins in cigarettes can cause bone fragility. Therefore, smokers are more at risk of developing brittle bones or osteoporosis. Female smokers are more susceptible to osteoporosis than non-smokers.
Skin
Smokers will look older than nonsmokers, because of lack of oxygen to the skin. Early aging will be felt, such as the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Cigarette toxins can also cause cellulite on the skin.
Reproductive organs
Smoking can interfere with your reproductive system and your fertility. In men, smoking can cause impotence, reduce sperm production, and testicular cancer. While for women, smoking can reduce fertility. In addition, the risk of cervical cancer is even higher because cigarettes reduce the body's natural ability to fight infection with human papillomavirus or HPV.
Psychological disorder
In addition to physical illness, smokers also experience higher levels of stress than those who do not smoke. During this time you might think that smoking can make you more relaxed. You think nicotine content can calm your mind, but it turns out it's wrong. What makes anxious and anxious smokers is a withdrawal symptom of nicotine. By smoking, addiction to nicotine will be fulfilled and smokers feel like cigarettes reduce stress.
