However, often the strong dependency on cigarettes makes people not want to stop sucking it, until it was too late: when you are sentenced to suffer any disease.
These seven health problems due to smoking.
1. Cancer
Smoking causes about 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and 80% in women. The risk of death from lung cancer 23 times higher in male smokers and 13 times higher in female smokers than in those who never smoked. Research indicating that non-smokers who live with a smoker have a 24% higher risk of developing lung cancer than non-smokers in general. Smoking also causes cancer of the bladder, oral cavity, pharynx, vocal cords, esopagus, cervix, kidney, pancreas and stomach.
2. Diseases of the Heart and Blood Vessels
Smoking causes coronary heart disease, which is one cause of death in Indonesia. Smokers have 2-4 times higher chance of developing coronary heart disease than nonsmokers.
3. Stroke
Smokers have twice the risk of stroke more likely to hit stroke.
4. Vascular disease
Smoking reduces blood circulation due to narrowed arteries. Therefore, smokers are 10 times more likely to vascular disease, including erectile dysfunction or impotence. Additionally smokers are also at risk of blood vessel damage.
5. Anurisma abdominal aorta
Smoking causes abdominal aortic anurisma (local dilation of blood vessels in the abdominal aorta). The risk of dying from this disease higher among smokers when blood vessels ruptured (broken).

Well, how did that work cigarettes damage the body? Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after the cigarettes smoked, and then spread throughout the body via the blood circulation, including the Mother’s Milk.
Carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, reducing their function in delivering oxygen in full.
These elements cause cancer (carcinogens) in tobacco damage important genes that control cell growth, so that cells grow abnormally fast or growing terlau.
Elements of carcinogens called benzopiren bind to cells in the respiratory tract and other vital organs of smokers causing cancer.
