Blood Circulation
When you smoke a cigarette, the poisons and toxins would directly penetrate the bloodstream. This eventually thickens the blood and increases the risk of forming clots. As a result, there can be two complications. Firstly, heart rate and blood pressure are increased, forcing the heart to beat faster than usual to pump blood to the whole body. Another effect is the narrowing of arteries and blood vessels. It can reduce the amount of oxygen-rich blood carried to essential organs. People with these circulation issues can be at a higher chance of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. [8]
