Type of Smoker
1. Skinny smoker The profile: Youre worried about your weight. (Youre not alone: Fifty percent of women smokers and 25% of men smokers feel the same way.) Your motivation to smoke is tied up with your body image, a trait thats especially common among women. You're like the college-age women who, in one study, reported an increased urge to smoke after trying on a bathing suit.

Type of Smoker
2. Sneaky smoker The profile: You cant (or won't) kick the habit, but youre ashamed of it, so you sneak cigarettes when your family and friends arent around. Youre in good company: President Obama is the Sneaky Smoker in Chief. Hes tried to quit, but during a 2009 press conference, he admitted that he sneaks a guilty cigarette from time to time, but always away from his wife and kids (and news cameras, of course).

Type of Smoker
3. Rebel smoker The profile: Unlike the sneaky smoker, you smoke because its unhealthy and against the rules. You identify with the Marlboro Man, a character who projects "individualism" and "freedom" (according to tobacco industry research), or with the "nonconformist, self-confident mind-set historically attributed to the Camel user." You probably picked up the habit in your teensan age when rebelliousness is linked to smoking, research shows.

Type of Smoker
4. Social smoker The profile: You only smoke in certain situations: at parties, at bars, at night, on the weekends. Youre the tobacco equivalent of the social drinker. You might go a bit overboard sometimes (and smoke a whole pack in a weekend, say), but you dont consider yourself a real smoker. Youre not necessarily addicted to nicotine, although you might be addicted to smoking.

Type of Smoker
5. Stressed-out smoker The profile: Youre one of the 47% of smokers who say they light up to relieve stress. When youre racing to meet a deadline at work, or after youve had a fight with your spouse, you reach for a pack of smokes.

Type of Smoker
6. Serial quitter The profile: You tell yourself that every cigarette you smoke will be your last. Quitting smokingand failinghas become a habit in itself. Youve tried everything: cold turkey, gum, the patch, prescription drugs. Youre one of the 16% of smokers who, in a 2006 Gallup poll, said theyve tried to quit six times or more.

Type of Smoker
7. Committed smoker The profile: Youre one of the 16% in the Gallup poll who said that theyd never tried to quit. You dont care if youre damaging your health, and you dont care what people think of you. You love smokingor just simply cant imagine life without cigarettes.

The Effects of Smoking

The effects of smoking on human health are serious and in many cases, deadly. There are approximately 4000 chemicals in cigarettes, hundreds of which are toxic. The ingredients in cigarettes affect everything from the internal functioning of organs to the efficiency of the body's immune system. The effects of cigarette smoking are destructive and widespread.

Smoking Effects on the Human Body

Toxic ingredients in cigarette smoke travel throughout the body, causing damage in several different ways. Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing affected cells from carrying a full load of oxygen.

Smoking Effects on the Human Body

Cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in tobacco smoke damage important genes that control the growth of cells, causing them to grow abnormally or to reproduce too rapidly. The carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene binds to cells in the airways and major organs of smokers. Smoking affects the function of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections.

Smoking Effects on the Human Body

There are several likely ways that cigarette smoke does its damage. One is oxidative stress that mutates DNA, promotes atherosclerosis, and leads to chronic lung injury. Oxidative stress is thought to be the general mechanism behind the aging process, contributing to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and COPD.

Smoking Effects on the Human Body

The body produces antioxidants to help repair damaged cells. Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than do nonsmokers. Smoking is associated with higher levels of chronic inflammation, another damaging process that may result in oxidative stress.
