How does smoking cause fatigue?


Everyone knows that smoking is not good for the health but for some reason people are still addicted to it and it is due to the presence of nicotine in cigarettes.  It has been confirmed by the medical world that nicotine is bad and can cause lung cancer.  Besides lung cancer it also causes various other illnesses and tiredness and fatigue is also one of it. 

Oxygen is very important as all the crucial parts of the body require oxygen to function. The amount of oxygen in the bloodstream and lungs become less in a smoker as the oxygen is replaced by the smoke that comes from the cigarettes and hence there is a decrease in oxygen which leads to tiredness.

When a person smokes it weakens the blood vessels in the body and it becomes very difficult for the blood to circulate around the body when the arteries and capillaries are weak.  This leads to tiredness as there is disrupted blood flow and the organs do not get the required nutrients. Hence there are chances of heart disease as the heart will not function well if less blood is there in the body.

The most effective way to overcome tiredness is to stop lighting your cigarette and to quit smoking.  It will not be easy initially but if you have the willpower, you can succeed.  You can consume fresh foods as they are more nutritious and do regular physical activities to help you stop feeling exhausted.  You can try herbal anti smoking pills that are becoming popular which will help you quit smoking in a safe way without any withdrawal system.
