The chemicals in tobacco damage your blood cells. Also, they damage the function of heart. This one increases the risk of atherosclerosis that is a disease in which a substance called plaque builds up in heart arteries. The plaques harden and narrow arteries so this limits the flow of oxygen-blood the heart. By this reason, every smoker suffer from chest pain, heart attack, heart arrhythmias, or even death.
Lungs are the most directly affected by smoking. They are designed to provide air that contains oxygen and pass it to the blood stream. The action of smoke causes irritation of the cells lining the air tubes within the lungs. By this reason, they produce mucus that reduces the diameter of the air tubes making it more difficult to breathe. Then, this is when the smoker coughs up the mucus.

In conclusion, people that have been smoking almost their whole life are affected for the diseases mentioned before. Therefore, their health is worse with the pass of time leading them to die.
