 10 Negative Effects of Cigarette Smoking in Circulatory System


Nicotine included in tobacco are best strong power that causes smokers to continue to smoke and bring addicted daily. Addicted smokers need enough nicotine over a day to ‘continue normal’ or other meaning control their mood everyday. Volume nicotine a smoker needs determines quantity smoke they are likely to inhale, not depend what type of cigarette they smoke.


    Behind the 'feel' with nicotine, smokers inhale about 7,000 other chemicals in cigarette smoke. Many of these chemicals come from burning tobacco leaf. Some of these burning compounds are chemically active and slowly activate profound and damaging changes in the body.
    Unhealthy tobacco smoke contains over 60 known cancer-causing chemicals. Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing many diseases and reducing health in general.
    Below listed  10 negative effects of cigarette smoking in circulatory system for hardcore smoker. The effects of tobacco smoke on the circulatory system include:

            1. Heavy smoker would experience raised blood pressure and heart rate .In long term, it would effect health a smoker.
            2. The constriction (tightening) of blood vessels happen in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature.
            3. If smoker doing any sports or exercise, they would feel tired because less oxygen carried by the blood during exercise .
            4. Individual smoker get risk about ‘stickier’ blood, which is more prone to clotting.
            5. Damage happen to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits on the artery walls).Any 
            6. Smoking reduced blood flow to extremities (fingers and toes) decreased blood circulation can cause problems in your toes and fingers; amputation may be required in severe cases. decreased blood circulation can cause problems in your toes and fingers; amputation may be required in severe cases.
            7. While involve blood and arteries, smoking increased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply.
            8. Most feared in human live, get stroke (also known as cerebral thrombosis or cerebro-vascular disease) occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked,broken etc causing brain cells to become damaged or die. It can affect the way your body or mind functions.Stroke have serious effect to human life such as work,love,independent in lives etc. It is currently the second most common cause of death world-wide after heart disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) has expected that this will still be the case in 2030, with stroke  for 12.1% of all deaths.
            9. How smoking causes CVD?While individual inhaling tobacco,the smoke causes several fast responses within the heart and through blood vessels. Within one minute of starting to smoke, the heart rate begins to up and may increase by as much as 30 percent during the first 10 minutes of smoking. Nicotine activates the body to generate adrenaline which makes the heart beat faster and raises blood pressure, indirectly causing the heart to work harder. The carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke exerts a negative effect on the heart by reducing the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
            10. Aneurysm : An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel that is caused by a weakness in the vessel wall. As the blood passes through the weakened part of the vessel, the blood pressure causes it to bulge outwards like a balloon. There is a potential  that the aneurysm will cause the artery to broken (rupture) causing organ damage or internal bleeding, both of which can be dangerous. Aneurysms occur most usually in the aorta (the main artery in the heart that pumps blood out into the body) or in the brain (referred to as an intracranial aneurysm) but can occur in any artery in the body. An intracranial aneurysm which occurs near the surface of the brain may bring to blood seeping into the space between the skull and the brain.  
            11. Peripheral Arterial Disease (also called Peripheral Vascular Disease) is a disease that related with the arteries. Usually effect of PAD are caused by a gradual build-up of fatty material in the walls of the artery, a condition called “atherosclerosis”. Time after time, one or more of the principal arteries may become more blockage that they are unable to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the limbs. In severe cases, the blockage can cause bad effect like gangrene than need bring to amputation. The exact mechanism by which smoking induces atherosclerosis is not fully understood. However, smoking appears to be a significant risk factor in the development of PAD in a number of ways. 



              Thromboangiitis Obliterans (Buerger’s Disease)
            12. Buerger’s Disease is a rare dimension of PAD that most commonly affects the small and medium-sized arteries, veins, and nerves of the arms and legs. There is an highly strong correlation between the heavy use of tobacco and Buerger’s disease, although there is some evidence to suggest that users of smokeless tobacco are also at this risk. The disease typically occurs in young male smokers, aged average 20 to 40. The only proven treatment to prevent progression of the disease and avoid amputation is the  totally avoid of smoking or other use of smoking method.

          Quit Smoking - The Miracle Of Breath

          10:38 PM 0
          It is easy to take things for granted, things like our health, the people in our lives and even something as simple and automatic such as breathing.
          As a child we breathe easily and deeply, as an adult many things change the way we breathe.


          Our posture, our stress, and of course smoking. Breathing is the only automatic process that we can control or override.
          A child can hold their breath to get something they want. We can stop breathing to swim underwater, and we can breathe slowly and deeply to relax and release stress.
          Breathing is certainly a big part of the miracle of living, but smoking interferes with that miracle 24 hours a day. As a smoker every breathe is slightly labored, causing your heart to work a little harder to supply your muscles and brain with enough oxygen to move and think.
          But under load such as climbing stairs or exercising that heart stress is more noticeable as you struggle to suck in enough oxygen and many people find themselves puffing on exertion.
          An average persons heart will beat 115,200 times per day. If your breathing is just restricted by 5% that means an extra 5760 beats per day. 2,102,400 per year or 42,048,000 over 20 years which is the average time a person smokes.
          And it does all of this to not even give you the same energy as a non-smoker.
          Your heart is not a super human machine, it will feel the strain, and between the impact of reduced circulation in your arteries and a stressed heart it is little surprise that smoking causes heart disease and heart attacks.



          Unless you have been on another planet for your smoking life you would already know this, but have you ever stopped to think about exactly how it affects your heart, and do you care?
          The figures above are based on a 5% reduction but it could easily be much more. I see clients who are breathing hard from just walking a short distance from their car to my clinic.
          I notice that even after sitting in a chair for more than 30 minutes their breathing remains a little strained. This is a hard way to live, when you reach this stage your life becomes restricted, you have little energy for life and even your sleep will be compromised.
          When you quit smoking within a week you will breathe a little easier, and in six months your heart will be much healthier.
          And now for you to discover the 5 big mistakes most people make when trying to quit smoking. go to http://howtoquitsmokingcigarettesnow.com/
          Wishing you the best of health
