Smoking-related illnesses

Smoking-related illnesses are health problems caused by inhaling tobacco smoke, which contains thousands of chemicals harmful to the body. It increases the risk of lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and is a leading cause of cancer, including lung and throat cancers. Smoking also damages blood vessels, raising the risk of heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. Additionally, it worsens conditions like asthma and can impair immune function. Quitting smoking significantly reduces these health risks, improving overall well-being and quality of life.
