Other Effects
Smoking would make bones become more brittle and weaker. This effect tends to be more common in women as they are at a higher risk of osteoporosis. The immune system can also be weakened, making your body more vulnerable to infections. Over the long run, smokers might suffer from eye issues, such as retinopathy, glaucoma, dry eyes, macular degeneration, and cataracts. Another effect of smoking on the body is the worsening of oral hygiene. Gum disease, tender gums, sensitive teeth, or bleeding while brushing are some typical symptoms. Last but not least, consuming tobacco products would contribute to balding and hair loss. [10]
