Some of the more immediate effects of tobacco products can include reduced physical fitness, poor oral health including yellow teeth and bad breath and poor skin including early wrinkling and skin damage.

Longer-term tobacco smoking can lead to lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, strokes, and emphysema. It increases the risk of heart disease, which can lead to stroke or heart attack. Smoking has also been linked to other cancers, leukemia, cataracts, and pneumonia.
