in 2 words: it kills\nit affects your lungs, your mouth, your throat,  and because it minimises the amount of oxygen carried in your blood, your muscles are deprived of oxygen and this puts a lot of strain on your heart and vessels causing heart problems and high blood pressure.\nif your pregnant, it affects the development of the child.\nit affects the people around you because they'll be breathing in the crap thats it in the cigarettes\nit wastes your money\nthe smell is disgusting\ni can go on forever

Modified exhaust is illegal...that is, when it increases the decibl level. \n\nMotorcycles are exempt.\n\nMuscle cars get pulled over just as much. You just happen to drive a Honda

pollution is the presence of harmful substances in the envionment. some that are effecting or enviornment today are. piles of garbage,americans produce more houshold waste than any other nation. billions of kilograms of this waste are classified as hazordous. which means it's harmful to humans and the environment. Hazordous waste also comes from homes, old cars, paints, batteries, medical wastes, and detergents all pollute the environment. \nNuclear power plants produce electricity for millions of homes and businesses they also produce radioactive wastes, special kinds of  hazordous wastes that take hundreds of thousands of years to become harmless. These "hot" wastes can cause cancer, leukemia, and birth defects in humans. Radio active wastes can have harmful effects on all living things.\nSome pollutants affect the senses. These include bad odors and loud noises. too much noise is not just annoying but affects the ability to hear and think. \nI hope this helps you with your homework.

It is much worse...and these folks that say that people HAVE to start a car are full of crap.  This country survived a long time before the advent of the car.\n\nIf you don't believe that car exhaust is worse for you than smoking, try this out.  Park your car in a garage and shut the door.  Light up a CARTON of cigarettes.  Sit in there for 20 minutes.  Open up the door and let out all the 'deadly' smoke.  Now, close the door again, and start your car....let it run for 20 minutes and see if you survive. DO NOT REALLY DO THIS, THE CAR EXHAUST WILL KILL YOU!

The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and a small amount of trace gases.  Under normal conditions, the air provides the oxygen which allows other fuels to burn.\nHowever, under pressure and very high temperatures (such as in a automoblie engine), the nitrogen can chemically combine (burn) with the oxygen gas to form a series of compounds called nitrogen oxides.  Some of these are serious air pollutants.\nSee the site below for additional information:

Effects on the Brain\n\nScientists have learned a great deal about how THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to organs throughout the body, including the brain.\n\nIn the brain, THC connects to specific sites called cannabinoid receptors on nerve cells and influences the activity of those cells. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement4.\n\nThe short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana abuse indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term abuse of other major drugs. For example, cannabinoid (THC or synthetic forms of THC) withdrawal in chronically exposed animals leads to an increase in the activation of the stress-response system5 and changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine6. Dopamine neurons are involved in the regulation of motivation and reward, and are directly or indirectly affected by all drugs of abuse.\n\n\nEffects on the Heart\n\nOne study has indicated that an abuser's risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana7. The researchers suggest that such an effect might occur from marijuana's effects on blood pressure and heart rate and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood.\n\n\nEffects on the Lungs\n\nA study of 450 individuals found that people who smoke marijuana frequently but do not smoke tobacco have more health problems and miss more days of work than nonsmokers8. Many of the extra sick days among the marijuana smokers in the study were for respiratory illnesses.\n\nEven infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways9. Smoking marijuana possibly increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck. A study comparing 173 cancer patients and 176 healthy individuals produced evidence that marijuana smoking doubled or tripled the risk of these cancers10.\n\nMarijuana abuse also has the potential to promote cancer of the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract because it contains irritants and carcinogens9,11. In fact, marijuana smoke contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does tobacco smoke12. It also induces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into their carcinogenic form—levels that may accelerate the changes that ultimately produce malignant cells13. Marijuana users usually inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than tobacco smokers do, which increases the lungs' exposure to carcinogenic smoke. These facts suggest that, puff for puff, smoking marijuana may be more harmful to the lungs than smoking tobacco.\n\n\nOther Health Effects\n\nSome of marijuana's adverse health effects may occur because THC impairs the immune system's ability to fight disease. In laboratory experiments that exposed animal and human cells to THC or other marijuana ingredients, the normal disease-preventing reactions of many of the key types of immune cells were inhibited14. In other studies, mice exposed to THC or related substances were more likely than unexposed mice to develop bacterial infections and tumors15,16.\n\n\nEffects of Heavy Marijuana Use on Learning and Social Behavior\n\nResearch clearly demonstrate

There are so many things that smoking does to the body. The really sad fact is that it does not just hurt the smoker. It really does effect all persons around them. \nA smoker has increased risk of respiratory and vascular complications. Smoking actually creates a tar substance in the lungs and decreases the persons capacity to take in oxygen. Also smokers veins and arteries are constricted from chemicals in the cigarettes. This puts them at a higher risk for blood clot causing stroke.\nMothers who smoke when they are pregnant usually have smaller babies. A nonsmokers umbilical cord (which supplies nourishment to the baby) is usually about wide as a roll of quarters and the smokers umbilical cord is about as thick as a pencil. \nChildren who grow up in the home of a smoker are at higher risk for developing asthma and/or allergies. They can develop lung cancer just as easily as the actual smoker can. Not to mention that growing up with parents who smoke puts them at higher risk for becoming smokers themselves. \nI have a grandfather that smokes. He is eighty. The last several years he has been on oxygen. He wakes up at night because he can't get his breath. He has a barrel chest because that is what your body does to try and help you get more oxygen. Your lungs try to get bigger so they can take in more oxygen because the cigarettes have destroyed portions of the lungs over the many years of smoking. Some people would say he has made it to eighty and that is a long time for a smoker to live. You have to keep in mind that most of his family lived into or close to their 100's. They say that every cigarette takes five minutes off your life. There is no telling how long he could have lived if he had just been able to stop smoking. \nYou may not be able to talk him into quitting. Maybe you could talk him into atleast not smoking in the house and changing his clothes before holding the baby. This will atleast help the people who have to live with this be a little healthier. Good luck to you!

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is what we breath out \nCO (carbon monoxide) is what cars emit. It can be deadly because if it gets into your body, it takes your oxygen so it can become carbon dioxide.

How Smoking Affects Your Body\nThere's hardly a part of the human body that's not affected by the chemicals in the cigarettes you smoke. Let's take a tour of your body to look at how smoking affects it.\n\nStarting at the Top\n\nAs a smoker, you're at risk for cancer of the mouth. Tobacco smoke can also cause gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath. The teeth become unsightly and yellow. Smokers may experience frequent headaches. And lack of oxygen and narrowed blood vessels to the brain can lead to strokes.\n\nLungs and Bronchi\n\nMoving down to your chest, smoke passes through the bronchi, or breathing tubes. Hydrogen cyanide and other chemicals in the smoke attack the lining of the bronchi, inflaming them and causing that chronic smoker's cough. Because the bronchi are weakened, you're more likely to get bronchial infections. Mucus secretion in your lungs is impaired, also leading to chronic coughing. Smokers are 10 times as likely to get lung cancer and emphysema as nonsmokers.\n\nSmoking and the Heart\n\nThe effects of smoking on your heart are devastating. Nicotine raises blood pressure and makes the blood clot more easily. Carbon monoxide robs the blood of oxygen and leads to the development of cholesterol deposits on the artery walls. All of these effects add up to an increased risk of heart attack. In addition, the poor circulation resulting from cholesterol deposits can cause strokes, loss of circulation in fingers and toes and impotence.\n\nSmoking and the Body's Organs\n\nThe digestive system is also affected. The tars in smoke can trigger cancer of the esophagus and throat. Smoking causes increased stomach acid secretion, leading to heartburn and ulcers. Smokers have higher rates of deadly pancreatic cancer. Many of the carcinogens from cigarettes are excreted in the urine where their presence can cause bladder cancer, which is often fatal. High blood pressure from smoking can damage the kidneys.\n\nThe Results\n\nThe health effects of smoking have results we can measure. Forty percent of men who are heavy smokers will die before they reach retirement age, as compared to only 18 percent of nonsmokers. Women who smoke face an increased risk of cervical cancer, and pregnant women who smoke take a chance with the health of their unborn babies.\n\nBut the good news is that when you quit smoking your body begins to repair itself. Ten years after you quit, your body has repaired most of the damage smoking caused. Those who wait until cancer or emphysema has set in aren't so lucky—these conditions are usually fatal. It's one more reason to take the big step and quit now.

Alcohol decreases signal conduction across nerve endings decreasing signals from moving about our brain (spacey, stupid, reduced inhibitions) and decreases motor control (slurring, loss of muscle control, imbalance). It also affects the chemistry of digestion causing fats to be processed differently. With enough consumption, it can effect breathing and enough can kill. It also dehydrates causing other problems.\n\nWhen it wears off, the nerves conduct better so we get shaky, headaches, and general hang-over problems.  It's not good for you.

You can't go wrong with a high flow exhaust and a high flow air filter, it helps the engine breathe a lot better and should also increase economy.  It might be a bit louder though...

Smoking at anytime effects your risk for lung cancer. But then again breathing nowadays does with all of the pollution and stuff in the air.

Try to be more productive from now on instead of going straight here to ask a question.\nI found it INSTANTLY when I typed in "the effects of noise pollution" in google. Check my source(s)

Being a flight instructor i hear this question alot.  The best way to explain it is that its just like what comes out of your car on those cold winter days.  Way up at altitude it is extremley cold and the engine exhaust is very very hot and contains moisture which simply condenses in the cold air.  SOmetimes these contrails will actually become a cloud and hang around for hours and hours.  Its relatively harmless more so than auto exhaust but yes technically it is slightly "chemical".
