How does smoking affect the skeletal system?
I wish that I could remember the reference to this article that I read. I used to work as an X-Ray technologist in an orthopedic doctor's office. The doctor brought in an article one day that we left out for patients to read. It said that broken bones of smokers took about double the amount of time to heal than non-smokers. Based on this, I would say that the answer to this question is yes, smoking does damage the skeletal system. It makes them weaker. Hope this helps.

Both these bones form a part of the skull that protects the brain. The frontal lobe constituets the cerebrum which is important for thinking and reasoning processes. The parietal lobe constituets the cerebellum and medulla oblongata which is important for involuntary activities and muscle and nerve contraction chemistry. If anyone is affected, it is harmful for the body. As for vulnerablity, the back portion is more sensitive because it causes immediate death and injury to the frontal lobe causes memory loss.
