heart. This damage increases your risk for Atherosclerosis, Cardiovascular disease,
Aneurysms,etc..

more cigarettes you smoke, the higher your risk for type 2 diabetes & it is harder to
control.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
COPD is a progressive and eventually debilitating lung disease. Tobacco smoke
and secondhand smoke travel, like the air you breathe, is the primary cause of
COPD.

Cervical Diseases
If you smoke, you are more likely to develop squamous cell cervical cancer. The
risk of cervical cancer increased in women who were smokers and in women who
were exposed to secondhand smoke too.

Eye Diseases
Smoking is as bad for your eyes as it is for the rest of your body. Research has linked
smoking to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, cataract,
and optic nerve damage, all of which can lead to blindness & other eye diseases.
