The Effects of Smoking
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? ... ” I Corinthians 6:19-20
Smoking is not only deadly to your body, it has irreversible effects. There are many permanent effects that happen to your body when you smoke. ... Sometimes passive smoke (also known as second-hand smoke) is even worse then smoking itself. ... (Johnson, 1997)
There are as many short-term effects of smoking as well as long-term. Usually when people think about the effects of smoking we only think of the long term ones. When someone smokes a cigarette, the body responds immediately to the nicotine, and this causes short-term effects. ... (Partnership of Drug Free America, 2000)
Some of the long-term effects that we more commonly associate smoking to are chronic lung disease, coronary heart disease, strokes (due to lack of oxygen in the blood), lung cancer, and cancer of the mouth, esophagus, and bladder.
