what smoking can do to you.

Smoking is similar to digestion, but instead of digesting what you take in you in-digest, what goes in your body when you smoke stays in it. i quote: "Your body takes in a large amount of chemicals and carcinogens with each puff". Our organs and the blood in our body aren't made to handle all of the chemicals that make up a cigarette. Smokers often cough because of the tiny hairs in their lungs (cilia), are made to bronchial tubes and lungs of nasty foreign matter. They are one of the cleaners in your body, and smoking can result to destroying them. If the cilia you don't end up killing wake up after you start smoking, they start sweeping and make you cough because you could feel the cilia in your lungs working again. Deep inside your lungs, smoking could kill or damage the small alveoli that make up your lungs, one by one or some at a time. A lot of what is inhaled turns into tar, I quote; "Only about 30 percent of cigarette tar is sent back into the air through exhalation -- the rest sticks to your throat and lungs like saltwater taffy." apart from being disgusting tar can kill healthy lung cells. "A pack-a-day smoker ingests a full cup of tar into his or her lungs every year."

smoke can also cause arrhythmia, which makes your heart have irregular heart beats during the day.
