A. Carbon Monoxide & Nicotine: A dangerous duo.
1..Carbon monoxide is a harmful gas you inhale when you smoke. Once in your lungs, it’s transferred to your bloodstream and decreases the amount of oxygen that is carried in the red blood cells.
2. Nicotine is a dangerous and highly addictive chemical. It can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart and a narrowing of the arteries (vessels that carry blood).
