Smoking can also cause strokes because the nicotine contained in tobacco enters our brains quickly.

The lungs of long-term smokers and non-smokers look significantly different. The lungs of people who like to smoke regularly are black in color and the whole lung looks like a sieve.

The lungs of healthy people who do not smoke, or who smoke less often, look much healthier, and many people end up with lung cancer because of long-term addiction to smoking.

5. harm the mouth throat

The first part of the body where tobacco enters is the mouth, followed by the throat, so the heat from the tar and smoke in tobacco will first come into contact with the mouth and throat.

This leads to inflammation of the salivary glands and damage to the taste buds, so people who smoke have a weaker sense of taste and smell than non-smokers.

In addition, smoking can also easily lead to oral cancer, when the smoke makes the throat temperature rise from the normal body temperature of thirty-seven to forty-two degrees Celsius, it will cause mild burns to the mucous membrane of the throat and induce chronic diseases, and eventually induce throat cancer.
