Smoking and Its Harmful Effects – Dr. Ashwin Yadav, Pulmonologist in Agra

Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body due to toxic chemicals like nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, and formaldehyde.

Nicotine raises heart rate and blood pressure by releasing adrenaline, and reinforces addiction by triggering dopamine.

Carbon monoxide reduces oxygen delivery by binding to hemoglobin more than oxygen.

Tar damages lung cilia, weakening the lungs’ natural cleaning system and increasing infection risk.

These toxins cause chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and DNA damage—leading to heart disease, stroke, COPD, and lung cancer. Smoking also lowers immunity, delays healing, increases infertility risk, and causes gastric ulcers.

Quitting smoking greatly reduces these risks. For expert lung care, consult Dr. Ashwin Yadav (MBBS, DNB, AMRD - Harvard), one of Agra’s leading pulmonologists.
