Smoking in cold weather increases the risk of heart and lung damage and serious circulatory and respiratory problems.

The harmful effects of smoking in cold weather on the heart and lungs

According to Dr. Sunil Singla, Director and Head, Department of Neurology, SHALBY Sanar International Hospital, Gurugram (India), smoking in cold weather can have many negative effects on the heart and lungs, especially when combined with low temperatures, increasing serious health risks. Here are some specific effects:

Increased pressure on the heart: Cold weather constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure, causing stress on the heart, which can easily lead to heart attacks.

Atherosclerosis: Chemicals in cigarettes promote atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of blood clots.

Increased risk of infection: Smoking weakens the immune system, making the body susceptible to respiratory infections.

Increased respiratory problems: Cold air and smoke aggravate respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD.

Cold hands and feet: Smoking reduces blood flow to the hands and feet, making them feel cold and uncomfortable.

Poor lung health: Smoking damages your lungs, making you more susceptible to illnesses like colds and flu.

Conclude

Dr. Sunil Singla emphasized that smoking in cold weather is very dangerous because it puts extra burden on the heart and lungs, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases and other serious health problems. In addition, the combination of cold environmental factors and toxic substances in cigarette smoke can make heart and lung-related diseases worse. Therefore, quitting smoking and protecting health in cold weather conditions is very important.
