Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of death in the US. Smoking causes about 20% of all cancers and about 30% of cancer deaths in the U.S. People who smoke die about 10 years earlier than people who have never smoked. There is no cure for COPD, but quitting smoking can help keep symptoms under control. Symptoms of COPD include shortness of breath, coughing up mucus, and difficulty breathing.
So-called "smoker's cough" can be an early sign of COPD. Smoking tobacco damages your heart and blood vessels, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. Smoking causes high blood pressure, lowers your ability to exercise, and makes your blood more likely to clot. Smoking while pregnant can lead to health problems that can affect both mother and baby. Men who smoke have a higher risk of erectile dysfunction in the bedroom. Smoking can affect a person's health in many other ways as well, harming nearly every organ in the body.
