What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking?

Hello,

I have always had a smokers cough ever since I was a child even though I didn't smoke anything until I was 16 then I smoked through college and finally gave up last year. During this time I assumed the cough was down to smoking but it has got worse over the past few months. Any ideas?



Best regards

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Smoking is very very hazardous to our health.
Some people are so sensitive that after some year's smoking, they develop respiratory and other problem while some regular smokers never get the same .
It's depend on genetic structure of the person.
But in general, smoking causes many diseases including cancers.
You have stopped the smoking is very good for you.
Smoking causes lung cancers, breathing problems, heart problems, infertility, decreased immunity so more infections like very dangerous Tuberculosis.
Hope this will help you a lot.
Thanks for contacting us.
Take care...
