Smoking is the most important cause of disease and premature death from many chronic non-communicable diseases. It has been shown that 80-90% of chronic diseases of the respiratory systems; 80-85% of lung cancer, 30% of all malignancies and 25-43% of ischemic heart disease are directly related to smoking. Tobacco is an uncompromising "destroyer" of human health, exerting detrimental effects on all body systems. 

NERVOUS SYSTEM 

         This system is very sensitive to the impact of tobacco poisons. Nicotine (the substance that creates a strong psychological dependence) nerve damage in two main ways: direct toxic effect on nerve cells and blood vessels spasm, which affects blood flow to the brain and is manifested by headache, dizziness, weight loss memory, reducing performance and others. With prolonged smoking may be affected and the senses: hearing diminishes and weakens eyesight, increasing the risk of cataracts. 

Cardio - vascular system 

         About 25% of all diseases of the cardiovascular system are related to smoking. It shortens the life expectancy of smokers by about 10 years. 
         Each cigarette accelerates heart rate about 20 beats per minute. Smoke 20 cigarettes a day is equal to the exercise obtained by eight hours cycling against the wind. So the heart of the smoker is "tired" and "aging" more quickly. 
Addition, smoking increases blood pressure by 20 to 40%, which is due to become more frequent in cardiac contraction and blood vessels. 
         Smoking accelerates the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels, so that it is one of the most important risk factors for ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Characteristic of smokers is Burger's disease, in which develop painful narrowing of the arteries of the lower limbs, resulting in a necrosis and amputation. 

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM 

         Among the most affected by tobacco systems in the body is breathing. Intake smoke irritates the airways and causes coughing and shortness of breath. But they are only external manifestations. In lungs with nicotine entering and many other toxins that cause: irritation and spasm of bronchial smooth muscle, increase their secretion of mucus and damage to the lining epithelium resnichestiya. Thus deplete bronchial patency and normal mechanisms for clearing the bronchial tree. Being developed acute and then chronic inflammatory diseases that deplete lung function. 
         In smokers is higher incidence of asthma, lung cancer and even pulmonary tuberculosis due to reduced resistance to lung to infectious agents. 

Digestive system 

         This system, through the mouth and chewing apparatus is among the first to meet with tobacco smoke. Particularly strong prejudice entering in direct contact with mucous membranes of smoke lips, tongue, vocal cords, etc. Teeth yellow and easy to break, so that smokers have unpleasant breath. They also suffer from chronic gastritis and ulcer disease. Smoking is one of the reasons for the development of gastric cancer. 

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM 

         Nicotine and other toxic substances in tobacco smoke exert their harmful effects on the endocrine glands (endocrine). A well known secretions of these glands (hormones) are biologically active substances that play a crucial role in the functions of various organs and systems, and thus on the overall development of the organism. For example, under the influence of nicotine adrenal glands secrete large amounts of adrenaline in the blood, which led to a number of adverse changes: increased blood pressure, increase heart function, increase blood sugar, extract calcium from bones, etc. 

Reproductive system 

         It has been shown that smoking has an adverse impact on sexual function. Changes occur in both the male and the female body. Male smokers often suffer from impotence and reduced fertility due to changes in the quality of semen. In women smokers are more frequent menstrual disorders (irregular menses and is more painful), infertility, premature birth and abortion. Not without significance is the earlier onset of menopause by 1 to 3 years, leading to premature aging. 
         Mothers-smokers usually have babies on average 250 grams underweight and often - with urodstva or chronic disease.When these children are more common syndrome of sudden infant death. If the mother continued to smoke after birth, it adversely affect her child through breast milk, which contains nicotine. This reduces the defenses of the newborn, which is why it is very likely to become "often ill child." 

LOCOMOTOR DISABILITY 

         Smoking is one of the leading factors for the disease osteoporosis. On the one hand nicotine inhibits osteoblast function - the cells that build bone tissue in the body, on the other hand causes accelerated extraction of calcium from bones.

SKIN 

         Smoking sastaryava premature skin - it is grayish, lifeless granted. Appear around the lips of thousands of vertical wrinkles and smokers previously obtained old form. 

Cancer 

         It is estimated that about 69 chemical compounds in the composition of tobacco smoke are carcinogenic effect. Cancers develop after long-term, multi smoking, especially in those authorities which are in constant contact with tobacco smoke: lung, bronchi, trachea, oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, duodenum. With the smoking of tobacco and bind to cancer: pancreatic, kidney, gall bladder, bladder, breast and others.Increased risk of cancer is determined by: genetic features, age of starting to smoke, duration of smoking, number of cigarettes smoked daily, nicotine and tar cigarettes in hand, the depth of suction of smoke and others. 


         All the above damage to organs and systems in the human body are among the most common, though not the only effects of smoking on human health. Smokers not only destroy their own health. With smoke from cigarettes damage health and nepusheshtite around people, so-called "passive" smokers.Current cigarette filters retain ingestion of certain toxic substances from the smoke, passive smokers but no filters. It is to explain the occurrence of headache, fatigue, reduced capacity, increase in heart rate, tearing eyes in many so-called "nepusheshti passive smoking, staying where they smoke.Particularly suffer from passive smoking children. Their organism is highly sensitive to tobacco poisons. Children of smokers suffer about 3 times more frequently than children of parents nepusheshtite, especially pulmonary infections, acute inflammatory diseases of the eyes, throat and airways, asthma attacks and more. They also found memory loss and hence reduction in success at school. Furthermore, smoking of parents encouraging children to early to conducting this "craft".
