Reduced Physical Performance
Smoking has a considerable effect on the fitness levels of any smoker,
and the longer that you smoke, the more easily would you run out of
breath and get tired. Smoking affects your fitness levels in various
ways, and mainly does this by reducing the amount of oxygen that your
body gets.
Smoking cigarettes would affect your respiration, wherein your airways’
resistance would increase while reducing oxygen supply to your lungs.
The presence of carbon monoxide in your blood would reduce the amount of
oxygen which is supplied to the muscles, as your blood would also have a
lesser supply of oxygen from your lungs.
Smoking is known to increase fatigue whilst and after exercising, and
smoking also hampers improvement in sports as well as other physical
activities. It can also reduce your physical endurance levels with the
passing of time and your growing dependence.
