depends on how long you smoked but probably never doesnt mean you shouldnt. dont make things worse; a million other side effects besides your lung damage will be avoided.

Smoke a pipe instead.

A lot of questions. First cigarette smoke contains nicotine and Carbon monoxide and tear and further for the body toxic ingredients, which have following effect. Nicotine increases the vascular tension of small arteries, which causes the bloodpressure to rise. There may ba also a transient increase in respiratory rate through a centrally stimulating effect. If a patient has a rapid respiratory rate, it can be caused by insufficient gas exchange through in the lung. The effectiveness of the lungs gas exchange gets worse, through longterm smoking exposure. tear and toxic ingredients seize the function of the microvilli, which are little mobile hairlike formations on the surface of bronchial cells. Their job is to transport little foreign bodies and mucus etc. out of the lung. Small areas of the lung are being plugged up and are getting inflamed. The person developes chronic bronchitis with a decrease of normally functioning lung tissue. Also Atelectasis may develop. \nThere are many reasons, why bloddpressure rises. Smoking is one of them, often it is not clear if smoking or other causes i.e. genetic predeterminatiion are contributing to high blood pressure.\nSecond the blood pressure measured is the pressure created by the left heart. If right heart pressure rises, that means thge left heart is unable to transport enough blood away form the right heart outflow, which can cause eventually pulmonary hypertension or high bloodpressure in the pulmonary arteries (the one going away from the right heart). That happens, when the left heart does not work right.\nFor smokers the blood pressure is normally only high in the left heart outflow system.\nPlasma flow is widely independent from blood systolic  pressure alone. To assess plasma flow, the osmotic venous pressures also need to be known.\nThe body usually tries to maintain homeostasis.\nThat means acutely (when the bloodpressure goes up suddenly) ANP counteracts that development and ANP goes up. Chronically elevated BP would probably not change the ANP Level. Accordingly with Aldosterone. That means the Aldosterone level would go down with sudden elevated BP

A 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.

You won't be in as much danger as someone who smokes on a regular basis but this one item should give you pause:\nSmoking one large cigar can be equivalent to smoking an entire pack of cigarettes.\n\n\nThe rest is just added as more info:\nA National Cancer Institute study concludes that smoking one cigar a day even when not inhaling doubles the risk of developing cancer of the esophagus and oral cavity. Cigars emit 20 times more ammonia and 10 times more cadmium and methylethylnitrosamine (cancer-causing agents) than cigarettes.\n\nCigar smokers are up to 10 times more likely to die from cancer of the larynx, mouth and esophagus as nonsmokers. \n\nCigar smokers have lung cancer at a rate three times higher than nonsmokers. \n\nPersistent coughs and phlegm and an increased risk of peptic ulcers and emphysema are more likely in cigar smokers than in nonsmokers. \n\nSmokers who have left cigarettes for cigars are more likely to inhale them, even without realizing it, and get the same exposure levels as cigarettes. \n\nTar and nicotine concentrations are higher in cigars than cigarettes, which can damage the heart and blood vessels and increase risks of heart attack and stroke.

I don't have much experience with Hooka Tabacy but having quit smoking I can say that NOTHING you smoke is good for you. Smoking anything can lead you back to cigarettes again. Stay away from it.

also throat cancer, i think. http://www.rdoc.org.uk/smoking_tobacco_risk.html

The health effects of tobacco smoking are related to direct tobacco smoking, as well as passive smoking, inhalation of environmental or secondhand tobacco smoke.\n\nThe United States' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention describes tobacco use as "the single most important preventable risk to human health in developed countries and an important cause of premature death worldwide".[1]\n\nAn indirect public health problem posed by cigarettes is that of accidental fires, usually linked with consumption of alcohol. Numerous cigarette designs have been proposed, some by tobacco companies themselves, which would extinguish a cigarette left unattended for more than a minute or two, thereby reducing the risk of fire. However the tobacco companies have historically resisted this idea, on the grounds that the nuisance involved in having to relight a cigarette left untouched for too long would reduce their sales. In fact, untreated tobacco formed into a cigarette will extinguish itself relatively quickly if left alone, and as a result cigarette tobacco is treated chemically to allow it to smolder indefinitely.\n\nThe main health risks in tobacco pertain to diseases of the cardiovascular system, in particular smoking being a major risk factor for a myocardial infarction (heart attack), diseases of the respiratory tract such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and emphysema, and cancer, particularly lung cancer and cancers of the larynx and tongue. Prior to World War I, lung cancer was considered to be a rare disease, which most physicians would never see during their career. With the postwar rise in popularity of cigarette smoking, however, came a virtual epidemic of lung cancer.\n\nA person's increased risk of contracting disease is directly proportional to the length of time that a person continues to smoke as well as the amount smoked. However, if someone stops smoking, then these chances steadily although gradually decrease as the damage to their body is repaired.\n\nDiseases linked to smoking tobacco cigarettes include:\n\nlung cancer and other cancers \nstroke \nperipheral vascular disease \nbirth defects of pregnant smokers' offspring \nBuerger's disease (thromboangiitis obliterans) \nimpotence chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and chronic bronchitis in particular \nMore likely to develop cataracts that may cause blindness \nMore likely to develop cataracts that may cause blindness \n \nThe incidence of lung cancer is highly correlated with smoking.Cigar and pipe smokers tend to inhale less smoke than cigarette smokers, so their risk of lung cancer is lower but is still several times higher than the risk for nonsmokers. Pipe and cigar smokers are also at risk for cancers of the oral cavity, larynx (voice box), or esophagus, a risk which was widely hypothesized before any link between smoking and cancer was scientifically proved as seen in the news coverage of the tobacco-related cancers of two American presidents; Ulysses S. Grant died in 1885 at age sixty-three after a long and painful public battle with throat cancer which was widely assumed at the time to be the result of his lifelong cigar habit, and his successor Grover Cleveland was diagnosed in 1893 with cancer of the left jaw, which was frequently remarked upon by the press and public as the side where he usually had a cigar clamped. Similarly, cancer of the mouth and jaw is also a risk for chewing tobacco. The benefits of smoking cessation are immediate: blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature return to normal range; heart attack risk decreases; ability to smell and taste is enhanced; circulation improves.\n\nIt is generally assumed that the major motivational factor behind smoking is the nicotine it contains. However, the practice of ingesting the smoke from a smoldering leaf generates an enormous number of active chemical compounds, loosely lumped together as 'tar', many of which are biologically react

pneumonia is caused by a bacteria, so u need to acquire the bacteria in the first place.  smoking will cause damage to the alveoli causing fibrosis and build up of mucus along the cilia lining.  so smoking increases your risk by making you more susceptable to bacterial invasion

Let us examine the facts.\n\n1.  constant irritation can cause tumors to develop.  Smoking irritates the lining of the lungs.  You don't smoke periodically; therefore, you have constant irritation.\n\n2.  nicotine irritates the lining of the artery wall and thereby causes plaque to adhere to the walls increasing your risk of having either a heart attack or a stroke.\n\n3.  smoking causes irritation of the bladder and the bowels on the same premises that nicotine causes the irritation.  Thereby increasing your risk of having colon and bladder cancer.\n\n4.  finally, after 50 years of research of people who don't believe in God because you can't prove he exists scientifically, leaves little doubt in this nurse's mind that there is no link between smoking and certain cancers.\n\nDisclaimer:  there are four types of lung cancer.  The type usually caused by cancer is small oat cell carcinoma.  The most difficult to treat and with little success.

Yes, but people tend not to inhale cigar smoke as deeply as cigarette smoke so it is minimally less of a problem.  You still run the risk of cancer.  And they make your breath and clothes smell awful.  Big turn-off.

of course it is.it causes lung cancer,heart disease,bronchitis,emphysema.trust me cos it's all in my bio. book. smoking contains tar,nicotine & carbon monoxide which contribute to all of these diseases at some point.cheers!

you should definitely not smoke tobacco if you have a risk of heart attack or high blood pressure. marijuana should be safe though. heres why. in tobacco, the main chemical is nicotine, when you take nicotine in any form, it tightens and hardens your arteries, so if theyre alread somewhat clogged, blood flow is slowed down. thats why alot of people get dizzy or sick when they first smoke cigarettes. dont do that if youre at risk for a heart attack.\n\npot on the other hand, actually loosens and expands the arteries and vessels so although im not a doctor and i cant say for sure, logic seems to say it would be reasonably safe to smoke pot if you have high blood pressure...\n\npeace

contributes to many types of cancer, emphazymia and other breathing problems. Besides the fact that cigarettes are really expensive and addicting and makes you smell bad. It also affects the people around you.

Contrary to popular belief, clove cigarettes, also called kreteks, contain tobacco — they are made up of 60 - 70 percent tobacco and 30 - 40 percent shredded cloves (a spice). Considering their tobacco content, clove cigarettes are probably as harmful and dangerous as regular cigarettes. As a matter of fact, kreteks may hold even more risk than ordinary smokes. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), clove cigarettes produce at least twice as much nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide as regular American cigarettes brands.\n\nPlus, there may be an additional risk due to their clove content. The major active ingredient in cloves is eugenol, which is a topical anesthetic used in dentistry. The short- and long-term health effects of eugenol are not well known, and little inhalation toxicology research has been done on this substance. However, when smoked, eugenol numbs the throat and impairs the gag reflex. This anesthetizing effect could cause some problems; for example, liquids and/or food could more easily go down the wrong pipe. Smokers may not feel the harshness of the smoke as strongly, so they are more likely to inhale the smoke more deeply and hold it in the lungs for a longer period of time before exhaling. As a result, it's possible, or even likely, that eugenol has the potential to facilitate lung infections, respiratory illnesses, or allergic reactions in certain users, especially in smokers with existing breathing problems and/or other sensitivities.\n\nAlthough clove cigarette smokers share some adverse health symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, allergic reactions, bronchitis, pneumonia, and coughing up blood, the cause-and-effect relationship between smoking clove cigarettes and these symptoms has not yet been definitively established. Regardless, it seems reasonable to assume that clove cigarettes are as harmful and dangerous or even more so than standard cigarettes.\n\nClove cigarettes are one of several kinds of alternative smokes. Others include bidis (tiny, inexpensive, flavored dark tobacco containing cigarettes hand rolled with a dried tendu leaf), herbal or vegetable-based cigarettes with no tobacco and nicotine, and additive-free, natural tobacco cigarettes. Often, alternative cigarette smokers are part of the under 30 crowd. People smoke the "alternatives" because they think that they are cool and/or safer, healthier, and more natural to smoke than standard smokes. Cool or not, smoking alternative cigarettes can be as harmful and even dangerous to one's health as regular ones.
