Activity 1

The document summarizes how smoking affects the respiratory and circulatory systems in 3 main points: 1. Smoking damages the respiratory system by irritating the trachea and larynx, reducing lung function, impairing the lungs' clearance system, and increasing the risk of infection and permanent lung damage. 2. Smoking affects the circulatory system by raising blood pressure and heart rate, constricting blood vessels, reducing oxygen during exercise, increasing risk of blood clots and atherosclerosis, and reducing blood flow to extremities. 3. Specific illnesses caused by smoking that affect these systems include COPD, emphysema, bronchitis, pneumonia, lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

Effects of smoking on the respiratory system

1. irritation of the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voice box)


2. reduced lung function and breathlessness due to swelling and narrowing of the lung airways
and excess mucus in the lung passages
3. impairment of the lungs’ clearance system, leading to the build-up of poisonous substances,
which results in lung irritation and damage
4. increased risk of lung infection and symptoms such as coughing and wheezing
5. permanent damage to the air sacs of the lungs.

Effects of smoking on the circulatory system

1. raised blood pressure and heart rate


2. constriction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature
3. less oxygen carried by the blood during exercise
4. ‘stickier’ blood, which is more prone to clotting
5. damage to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to
atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits on the artery walls)
6. reduced blood flow to extremities (fingers and toes)
7. increased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply.

How does smoking affects the respiratory and circulatory systems?


Respiratory System

Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) found in
your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and
chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer.

Circulatory System
Smoking increases the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Coronary Heart Disease occurs when
arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle are narrowed by plaque or blocked by clots. Chemicals
in cigarette smoke cause the blood to thicken and form clots inside veins and arteries.
