Q & A
What is the main topic of the video script?
-The main topic of the video script is the top ten harmful effects of smoking on the human body.
Why does smoking increase the risk of developing cataracts?
-Smoking increases the risk of developing cataracts because it alters the cells of the lens and causes a significant buildup of cadmium, both of which may result in cataracts.
How does smoking affect the immune system?
-Smoking damages and reduces antibodies and immune cells, resulting in a weaker immune system that is more susceptible to infections and illnesses.
What are some visible signs of aging caused by smoking?
-Smoking can cause premature wrinkling, sagging under the eyes, poor skin tone, off-colored skin, age spots, hair loss, and crow's-feet.
How does smoking impact fertility in both men and women?
-Smoking can cause infertility issues including problems with ovulation, damage to eggs, and damage to reproductive organs in females, and lowered sperm count and erectile dysfunction in males.
What is the relationship between smoking and bone health?
-Smoking breaks down the integrity of the bone, resulting in an increased risk of osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and makes them more prone to fractures.
Why does smoking lead to gum disease and tooth loss?
-Smoking makes it harder for the body to fight off gum infections like gingivitis due to a weakened immune system, and it also damages the bone and tissue that hold teeth in place, leading to gum disease and tooth loss.
How does smoking affect blood consistency?
-Smoking thickens the blood, turning it into a more viscous fluid, which forces the heart to work harder to circulate it and increases the risk of blood clots, heart attacks, or strokes.
What is the most well-known side effect of smoking on the lungs?
-The most well-known side effect of smoking on the lungs is the damage it causes, including increased mucus production, rapid aging of lung tissue, and damage to the cilia, which are essential for clearing the airways.
How does smoking encourage the growth of cancer cells?
-Smoking encourages the growth of cancer cells because the toxins in tobacco smoke can alter the DNA of cells, resulting in cancerous cells that can grow and spread rapidly due to a weakened immune system.
Why is smoking considered the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases?
-Smoking is considered the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases because it narrows blood vessels, lowers good cholesterol, raises triglycerides, and increases plaque build-up in blood vessels, all of which contribute to a higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.

it's not very healthy to say the least
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're
counting down our picks for the top ten
terrible things smoking does to your
body before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel and ring the
bell to get notified about our latest
videos for this list we're looking at
the most harmful and dangerous effects
that smoking has on the human body
number 10 it causes cataracts smoking
damages many areas of the body including
perhaps surprisingly the eyes research
has shown that smokers have double the
risk of developing cataracts the
clouding of the eyes lens that results
in significantly reduced vision a
sensitivity to light and muted colors
doctors explain that smoking alters the
cells of the lens and causes a
significant buildup of cadmium both of
which may result in cataracts while it's
estimated that half of all Americans may
develop cataracts by the time they reach
80 smoking significantly raises the
chances number 9 it weakens the immune
system though smoking often affects
specific organs it can also cause more
general widespread harm as it does with
the immune system smoking damages and
reduces antibodies and immune cells
resulting in a much weaker immune system
which could lead to easily caught and
longer lasting sickness severe illnesses
and infections or even death it also
lowers the levels of antioxidants like
vitamin C and weakens cancer fighting
cells which is why smoking is so often
correlated with cancer however there is
hope as studies have shown that a
weakened immune system can grow stronger
when a smoker gives up cigarettes the
damage is not irreversible number eight
it increases the visible signs of aging
smoking doesn't just affect your organs
and immune system it alters your
physical appearance as well
smoking restricts blood flow to the skin
and damages the skin's elasticity
resulting in premature wrinkling aside
from premature wrinkles smoking also
causes sagging under your eyes a poor
skin tone including off-colored skin a
smokers pucker age spots hair loss and
crow's-feet all of which contribute to a
significantly aged appearance while
these effects are not reversible it is
possible to limit their severity by
quitting smoking number seven
it causes infertility smoking is
definitely one of the worst things you
can do to your reproductive system
smoking can result in numerous problems
infertility including issues with
ovulation damage to the eggs and damage
to the reproductive organs themselves
however it's not just females who are
affected male smokers also faced serious
fertility problems including a
dramatically lowered sperm count and
erectile dysfunction
even if smokers manage to get pregnant
smoking considerably raises the chances
of a miscarriage or a baby born with
notable and numerous health issues in
short smokers both male and female alike
may face significant problems when
trying to conceive number six it weakens
your bones smoking literally affects you
right down to your bones it's been known
for decades that smoking breaks down the
integrity of the bone and results in an
increased risk of osteoporosis
a bone disease that typically affects
the elderly the bones become so weak and
brittle with the disease that breaks are
common even with minor stress on the
bone a study by the American Chemical
Society showed that smoking produces
excessive amounts of two specific
proteins that the body uses to break
down bone density the result is
significantly weaker bones and an
increased risk of damage and injury
including fractures and breaks number
five
it causes gum disease bad breath and
tooth loss
seeing as how you smoke through your
mouth it's only natural that it causes
significant damage to that area aside
from the afro mentioned smokers pucker
smoking also makes it harder for your
body to fight off gum infections like
gingivitis due to the body's weakened
immune system it also makes treatment of
said diseases more difficult and puts
you at twice the risk of developing some
form of gum disease
the diseases could also lead to teeth
loss as the bone and tissue that hold
your teeth in place become damaged and
weakened
there's just no winning when it comes to
your mouth and smoking
number four it makes your blood thicker
it may sound disgusting but smoking does
indeed thicken the blood smoking
basically turns your blood into sludge
turning the essential substance into a
much thicker and stickier fluid by
extension
this forces the heart to work harder to
distribute it around the body smoking
also pumps cholesterol and fat into your
blood which increases the chance of
developing a blood clot and by extension
a heart attack or stroke
finally sticky blood can cause
significant damage to the lining of your
blood vessels again increasing your
chances of having a heart attack or
stroke number three
it destroys lung tissue the most
well-known side effect of smoking is
easily the damage it does to your lungs
for one thing smoking encourages mucus
production resulting in thick mucus
clogging your Airways which can make
even the simple concept of breathing
incredibly difficult it also causes your
lungs to rapidly age demolishes their
defense mechanism and destroys the
tissue resulting in less oxygen to the
body
finally smoking damages the small
cleaners of your lungs called cilia
which results in extremely dirty and
clogged lungs the physical damage to
your lungs is severe and that's not even
counting the cancer speaking of which
number two it encourages cancer cell
growth many smokers develop some form of
cancer throughout their lives and that's
because smoking significantly encourages
the growth of cancer cells the poison in
tobacco smoke can alter the DNA of your
cells resulting in a cancerous cell and
due to a smoker's weakened immune system
these cells rapidly grow and spread
without a defensive force to stop them
smoking can cause cancer almost
everywhere in the body including the
throat the liver and of course the lungs
doctors estimate that as many as nine
out of ten instances of lung cancer
results from smoking cigarettes before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some discs honorable mentions
[Music]
number one it increases your risk of
stroke and heart attack as mentioned
before the thick and fat filled blood
that smoking produces significantly
raises your chance of a heart attack and
or stroke but that's only the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to the harmful
effects smoking has on your heart
smoking can result in dramatic
cardiovascular diseases and is the cause
of one in three deaths stemming from CVD
smoking narrows the blood vessels lowers
the good cholesterol in your blood
raises triglycerides and increases the
build-up of plaque in the blood vessels
themselves all of which contribute to a
greater chance of heart attack and
stroke
