What Do Cigarette Chemicals Do To Your Body? - Thursday, March 3, 2011
As you might imagine, even small amounts of the poisonous chemicals in cigarettes can do bad things to your body. Here are some facts about what smoking cigarettes does to you:
  • Smoking makes you smell bad, gives you wrinkles, stains your teeth, and gives you bad breath.
  • Smokers get 3 times more cavities than non-smokers.
  • Smoking lowers your hormone levels.
  • When smokers catch a cold, they are more likely than non-smokers to have a cough that lasts a long time. They are also more likely than non-smokers to get bronchitis and pneumonia.
  • Teen smokers have smaller lungs and a weaker heart than teen non-smokers. They also get sick more often than teens who don't smoke.
