The cigarette smoke contain nicotine, tars and produce carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide. The tars will stick on the lungs that will damage lungs tissues. Since the tars is carcinogenic, it will lead to lung cancer. Nicotine stimulates the production of cells in the trachea and lungs and leads to lung cancer. It also narrowed and harden the blood vessels and can causes heart attacks. Sulphur dioxide is very soluble in the alveoli and it is acidic. It produce acid which destroys the lungs.
