What effect does smoking cigarettes have on lungs?

Answer 1

While carcinogenic in the long term, I don't think anyone's ever tried to do LD50 testing on cigarettes. Figures on nicotinic acid however, indicate that the number would be (1) very large to engender acute lethality, and (2) quite variable per person.

Answer 2

One cigarette. Cigarettes are a very horrible thing. They effect you the second you start smoking one. For each one you smoke, it takes eleven minutes away from your life. Cigarettes can clog up your lungs with all that horrid gunk. They are a recipe for disaster.

Answer 3

well bro/brah, no matter how many you smoke, you get tar in your lungs. if it all depends on the number you smoke though, 1 would be correct, with the amount of damage and chemical buildup in your lungs increasing per cigarette. plus, the amount of damage done varies throughout the brands of cigarettes, as some have higher or lower toxic emissions than others.

Answer 4

The effect of cigarette smoke on the human body is a deadly one. No research has ever proven the real benefits of smoking everyday at all. As for effect on particularly the lungs, cigarette smoke infects the organ through the bronchioles(sacs in the lung that help you breathe), then clogs the air entrance with smog in a period of time. This may result in the development of lung disease, cancer, and Heart disease.

Answer 5

ONE cigarette damages your lungs. The more you smoke the more damage you do.

Answer 6

because the smoke damages the breathing pipe and blocks it off

Answer 7

In the long run, yes.
