Cigarette smoking deathtraps: How does smoking affect my lungs and breathing?

We cannot pretend to be ignorant of cigarette smoking deathtraps laid on our health. The use of cigarette products is hazardous not only for human body organs but also in the whole body system. Truthfully, when we spoke to doctor Dalal Akoury MD President and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center it is evident that every cigarette you smoke damages your breathing and scars your lungs in very many ways. The demerits of smoking are many and may include:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a disease that gets worse over time and causes wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and other symptoms
Emphysema, a condition in which the walls between the air sacs in your lungs lose their ability to stretch and shrink back. Your lung tissue is destroyed, making it difficult or impossible to breathe.
Chronic bronchitis, which causes swelling of the lining of your bronchial tubes. When this happens, less air flows to and from your lungs.
Pneumonia
Asthma
Tuberculosis

People with asthma can suffer severe attacks when around cigarette smoke.

Menthol cigarettes, like other cigarettes, also negatively impact male and female fertility and are harmful to pregnant women and their unborn babies.

Some research shows that menthol cigarettes may be more addictive than non-menthol cigarettes. More research is needed to understand how addiction differs between menthol and non-menthol cigarette use.
