what does smoking do
nicotine makes it addictive
nicotine withdrawal can affect mood
reduces cardiovascular
can lead to lung cancer
reduces fertility can affect sperm count in men
lungs go black from tar as tar reduces oxygen in bloodstream
reduces life expectancy
yellow fingers and teeth
increases risk of skin throat and lung cancer
affects of smoking (stats)
reduces tolerance of excercise - fatigue between 2% to 5%
increased heart rate between 1% to 5%
lack of oxygen in cells forces heart to work harder to distribute oxygen around body making a major contribution to CHD
what does smoking damage
the lungs especially the alveoli
what is emphysema
emphysema is where smoking reduces number of alveoli and surface area resulting in poor gaseous exchange
what happens to oxygen from smoking
as a result it becomes more difficult to get oxygen in and carbon dioxide out and smokers may become shot of breathe
how does smoking affect how heart works
hesrt has to work harder to get the oxygen the body needs and consequently gets tired quicker
what are the 2 types of cholesterol
HDL (good cholesterol)
LDL (bad cholesterol
what does HDL do
HDL removes LDL
how does smoking lower levels of HDL
Smoking lowers levels of HDL and increases chance of blood clotting and increases chance of blocking and narrowing of arteries , increases chance of heart attack , stroke and heart disease
how does smoking reduce the oxygen -carrying capacity of blood
carbon monoxide is breathed into lungs , it binds with haemoglobin in red blood cells to make carboxyhaemoglobin which is then transported into the bloodstream and CO is much faster at binding (200 times faster than oxygen )
what is nicotine and what is it’s affect
nicotine is a stimulant and is additive , it increases heart rate which increases blood pressure because it releases adrenaline
adrenaline increases breathing rate and blood circulation. it constricts they arteries and causes the heart to beat faster
risks of sedentary lifestyle
depression chd high blood pressure osteoporosis loss of muscle tone diabetes
