What Are The Ill Effects Of Smoking Cigarettes?

I have been smoking cigarettes since I was 16. I am 30 right now. I am a female. Yesterday I didn t smoke all day. Today I just lit one up and could only take two puffs. I feel dizzy, like i m going to faint the minute I smoke, so I put it out. What could this mean?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
You are having withdrawal symptoms. Sudden stoppage of any habit can cause withdrawal symptoms.
So enroll your self in smoking cessation programme and get rid of this habit in proper scientific way.
Smoking affects almost all organs of the body but major effects seen on lung and heart.
So quit smoking as soon as possible.
Hazards of smoking are
1. Cardiovascular diseases
2. COPD and lung cancers
3. Esophageal cancer and GERD
4. Stomach cancer
5. Bladder cancer
6. Deep venous thrombosis. Etc
