The fact that tobacco cigarettes are dangerous to one's health is no surprise to anyone, including smokers. Since people really became aware of the health problems often faced by smokers, scientists have been studying tobacco and its effect on the human body. Today, smoking is associated with a whole host of short and long-term health effects, including bad breath, coughing, emphysema, heart disease, and lung cancer, and the list continues to grow every day. New medical studies have linked smoking to a wide range of health problems, including other forms of cancer. Female smokers carry an increased risk of developing breast and cervical cancer, while male smokers are more likely to suffer prostate and heart problems, not to mention impotence. Smoking reduces the blood flow to many parts of the body, which can result in a number of health problems, including Beurgers Disease, for which amputation is often the only treatment.
