When or if you smoke is it can cause rising in blood pressure, rise in heart rate, restrict the flow of blood from the heart to the brain, it speeds up the brain, causes arteries to narrow. The carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen the blood can carry. It can also cough and sneezing. Long Term Effects: As I said before smoking tobacco affects anyone who uses it. Now you might be wondering what could happen if you smoking for a long period of time, lets say about 30 years.
While asthma mostly consists of unexpected and abrupt attacks, it is still regarded as/to be a chronic conditions, which can rapidly lead to a decrease in lung function. The starting point of the inflammatory response, which ultimately goes over to asthma, has its origin in an injury to the airway caused by an irritant. The most common triggers of asthma are amongst others allergens, such as pet fur or house-dust mite droppings. Triggers, like traffic fumes or tobacco smoke have also great influence on asthmatics. For non-allergic asthma, however, the main causes are physical effort/exertion, stress, intolerance towards some medications, including aspirin (which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), or any respiratory infections such as a ‘normal’ cold.
Common symptoms include chest pain, shaking chills, fever, dry cough, muscle aches, nausea and vomiting, rapid breathing and rapid heart rate. Symptoms that may indicate a medical emergency are bluish skin tone, labored breathing, high fever and confusion. Management and treatment of pneumonia involves a course of antibiotics. This patient is allergic to clindamycin and vancomycin, so he is being treated with tazobactam/piperacillin. The patient is also receiving multiple courses of respiratory treatment, including vest therapy, cough assistance and nebulizer treatments.
Chronic lower respiratory diseases are the third leading causes of death. These are diseases that affect the lungs. According to womenshealth.gov, Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two deadliest forms of this. This is also surprising to me because the leading cause of it is smoking cigarettes. If smoking is the leading cause of one of the leading causes of death, it surprises me that people still do it.
Factors that Affect Endocrine Function Everyone's body undergoes changes, some natural and some not, that can affect the way the endocrine system works. Some of the factors that affect endocrine organs include aging, certain diseases and conditions, stress, the environment, and genetics. Aging Despite age-related changes, the endocrine system functions well in most older people. However, some changes occur because of damage to cells during the aging process and genetically programmed cellular changes. These changes may alter the following: ›hormone production and secretion ›hormone metabolism (how quickly hormones are broken down and leave the body) ›hormone levels circulating in blood ›target cell or target tissue response to hormones ›rhythms in the body, such as the menstrual cycle For example, increasing age is thought to be related to the development of type 2 diabetes, especially in people who might be at risk for this disorder.

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that develops from cells originating in the mesothelium, also known as the protective lining that covers many of the internal organs. It is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked in jobs where they inhaled asbestos, or were exposed to asbestos dust and fibers. Signs and symptoms of mesothelioma include shortness of breath due to chest wall pain, and signs such as unexplained weight loss. The diagnosis may be suspected with chest X-ray and CT scan, but must be confirmed pathologically either with serous effusion cytology or with a biopsy and microscopic examination.

Another common heart problem linked to smoking is heart disease.

Coronary Artery Disease is a chronic process that begins during adolescence and slowly progresses throughout life. Independent risk factors include a family history of premature Coronary Artery Disease, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, sedentary lifestyle, high levels of certain fats in the blood, poor diet and excessive alcohol use.
Usually within two to three hours the effects will die down and the user will feel sleepy. There are many ways that marijuana can harm the body, both short term and long term. The effect that marijuana can have on the brain and central nervous system are very serious. Marijuana can decrease the amount of blood pumped into the brain which causes short term memory loss. Smoking marijuana reduces the strength and speed of communications between the mind and body.
