Answer 2

Smoking is bad for you because the chemicals in tobacco smoke harm your heart and blood vessels in many ways.

For example, they:

• Thicken your blood and make it harder for your blood to carry oxygen.
• Increase your blood pressure and heart rate, making your heart work harder than normal.
• Lower your HDL cholesterol (sometimes called "good" cholesterol) and raise your LDL cholesterol (sometimes called "bad" cholesterol). Smoking also increases your triglyceride level. Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood.
• Disturb normal heart rhythms.
• Damage blood vessel walls, making them stiff and less elastic (stretchy). This damage narrows the blood vessels and adds to the damage caused by unhealthy cholesterol levels.
• Contribute to inflammation, which may trigger plaque buildup in your arteries.
