Why is Smoking Bad ?• A cigarette contains nicotine, tar and carbon
monoxide.• Nicotine is an addictive drug that raises the heart
beat, narrows the arteries and so causes high blood pressure. This leads to heart disease.
• Tar coats the lining of the lungs making them less able to take in oxygen. It also contains carcinogens which cause cancer.
• Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas which joins up with red blood cells making them incapable of transporting oxygen around the body
