Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure. Emphysema makes it difficult to breath and cannot be cured.

What would happen if a person breaths in carbon dioxide by smoking?
You breath in carbon dioxide all the time. It's in YOU! So, nothing would happen, but smoking is BAD! Killing the environment!
How does smoking affect carbon dioxide levels?
Smoking increases carbon monoxide levels in the blood as opposed to carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide ties up hemoglobin so that smokers have lower blood oxygen levels. Chronic inflammation has been linked to the high levels of carbon dioxide that smokers breathe in as it is 200 times the atmospheric rate.
What can air NOT do?
air can't kill you unless you breathe it in from a cigarette lots or breathe in carbon dioxide.
What are the connections and relations in smoking with carbon monoxide?
Cigarette Smoke contains CO gas. That is the relation between them.

everyone around you because they are inhaling the carbon dioxide with the smoke that you just exhale
How does a person get carbon dioxide in their system other than smoking a fire or gas leak?
I think you mean carbon MONoxide (the harmfull one). Carbon dioxide is all around us, we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. You can get carbon MONoxide into your system by coming in contact with it. It is a gas which is odourless, tasteless and colourless.

What is worse for the environment smoking or flying?
Flying is much worse for the environment than smoking. Planes burn fossil fuel which releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden away for millions of years. This is what is causing global warming.Smoking releases carbon dioxide too, but it is carbon dioxide that was taken out of the atmosphere a few months ago when the tobacco was growing, so it is part of the earth's carbon cycle, and is not contributing to global warming.
What gas is produced by respiration?
Carbon dioxide.
What effect does cigarette smoking have on oxygen delivery?
Since oxygen transport requires healthy lungs, the answer would be "Yes." Smoking releases carbon monoxide that has an affinity some 500 times greater than oxygen's for hemoglobin. This binds up the hemoglobin and prevents oxygen transport.
Does the lungs store urine?
No, the [urinary] bladder does. The lungs are involved in the delivery of oxygen to the body and the excretion of carbon dioxide.
