Legs and feet
Smoking causes the blood vessels in the body to contract and inhibits the supply of fresh oxygen being taken around the body. This can lead to peripheral vascular disease - smokers are at 16 times greater risk of PVD - where you are no longer able to feel your fingers or your toes.
Once the blood supply has been lost, this could lead to gangrene and result in having to have your feet or legs amputated.
Experts also say for women smoking leads to osteoporosis, the brittle bone condition associated with the menopause. It is not yet known how, but it is believed smoking has an effect on the levels of oestrogen in the blood.
Low oestrogen levels can cause the onset of osteoporosis. If you suffer from the condition and have a fall, you are more likely to break your bones which will take longer to heal.
