How does smoking effect your heart rate?

Answer 1

AnswerVery bad! What is inhaled from smokes goes directly into your lungs. Your blood has a path it takes, into heart, through lungs, back to other side of heart, out to body. So your blood gets the chemicals smoking leaves behind and takes them to your heart. If you love your heart, do not smoke.

also, it increases the risks of a heart attack. the nicotine raises heart rate which is very bad. it makes your body work harder than it needs to. smoking causes Heart diseases.

Carbon monoxide , in cigarettes, affects the heart by reducing the amount of oxygen the blood cells can carry to the heart and other tissues. This would mean that Susan wouldn't have enough oxygen to breathe properly during the race.

It also damages the lining of the arteries, increasing the build up of plaque that leads to atherosclerosis, which is a condition in which fatty material collects along the walls of arteries. This fatty material thickens, hardens and may eventually block the arteries. This would been the blood couldn't get through to carry the oxygen, again.

A word of advice, don't smoke, it will ruin your life! :(

Answer 2

Baisically yeaaahhh......

you get blood pressure,.... when you smoke your lungs becomes tar you can get heart diesases and cancer.

If you smoke, you have a higher risk of dying from heart attack or stroke. In itself, this is a good reason to leave your cigarettes in the packet.

But for people with heart conditions, giving up smoking can be life saving. The majority of people who suffer a heart attack before the age of 50 are smokers. Heart attacks happen when a blood clot in one of the coronary arteries (coronary thrombosis) blocks off blood supply to the heart.

Smokers who quit or even just cut down on cigarettes can begin to reap the health benefits within a few months, new study findings suggest.

In the study, individuals who gradually quit smoking saw improvements in risk factors for Heart disease, including lower cholesterol and carbon monoxide levels. The findings may encourage some of the millions of smokers worldwide to cut back on tobacco, which will cause an estimated 10 million deaths a year by 2030,

Answer 3

It's not so much the tobacco itself that effects the heart, but the tar contained inside the tobacco. The tar not only clogs up the arteries when small amounts are absorbed into the bloodstream, but also the fact that it clogs up the lungs, means that extra strain is put onto the heart by the decreasing amount of oxygen the lungs are taking in.

Answer 4

The carbon monoxide in your body, from smoking, damages the heart muscles. Those muscles make up the wall of the heart. Throughout our life, it contracts some 70 times per minute pumping about 5 liters of blood around the body. It pumps blood into the lungs to collect oxygen and then travels around the body slowly releasing it.

Answer 5

Smoking affects the lungs directly, and everything else indirectly. Smoking is just like breathing in smoke, or carbon dioxide, which is poison to our bodies. This is why we exhale carbon dioxide. Smoking can cause lung cancer, which may even stop and kill alveoli from functioning. Your lungs may even mistake smoke for oxygen, and send that to your body. That will kill cells in not just your lungs.
