Why is smoking bad in Antarctica?

The air in Antarctica that you pull into your lungs with each inhale is a challenge for your body to handle, given its low temperature. Adding foreign pathogens to the extreme cold air can place demands on your lungs, unnecessarily.

Because Antarctica is so dry, a lit cigarette will burn much faster, so paying for smoking there can become very expensive.
