THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF SMOKING ON THEBRAIN

Smoking is a major cause of strokes.

The upper image

shows a dark area of

dead tissue from astrokewhile the lower

image shows healthy

brain tissue.

A strokeoccurs when

the blood flow to an

area of your brain is

cut off. Blockage or

breakage of blood

vessels causes a

stroke.

Without blood supply,

brain cells start to die,

leading to loss of

function in that part of

your brain.

A serious stroke can

lead to permanent

damage, including

memory loss, loss ofspeech, paralysis or

even death.

serious gum disease

called Periondontitis.Spaces develop between

the gums and the teeth

loss of bone around the

teeth, and progressive

infection. If left untreated

Smoking causes atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.

Poisons in the blood from smoking cigarettes contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Most cases of coronary heart disease,

stroke, and artery disease are caused by atherosclerosis.

arthrosclerosis while thelower image shows a

healthy artery.

Atherosclerosis, or

hardening of the arteries,

gets worse over time.

Deposits of fatty plaques,

and scarring and

thickening of the artery

walls causes it.

Narrowing of the arteries

around your heart

(coronary artery disease)

can prevent the heart from

getting as much oxygen-

rich blood as it needs. This

increases the risk of a

heart attack.

This is the picture of a

five-month old fetus.

The white umbilicalcord carries oxygen

and nutrients from

mother to the fetus.

Nicotine in cigarettes

may cause the blood

vessels to constrictin

the umbilical cord and

uterus, decreasing the

amount of oxygen the

unborn baby receives.

Nicotine may also

reduce the amount of

blood in the babys

bloodstream, which

can contribute to a low

birth weight.

THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF SMOKING DURINGPREGNANCY

Smoking is harmful during every partof the development of the baby, and

continues to be harmful after a baby is born.Smoking can cause babies to be born prematurely and to have low birth weight, respiratory diseases, and other illnesses.Low birth weight is the leading cause of infant death.
