We often pay attention to our physical activity. We know very well that it is important to keep your health in good shape. However, physical activity does not exempt you from eliminating other stimulants from your life, such as cigarettes.
If we eat a certain amount of chocolate or a high-calorie dish, it is possible to balance the calories through greater physical activity. Both passive and active smoking will always be harmful despite frequent physical activity. In addition, smoking has a large impact on the deterioration of efficiency during training and other activities.

Influence of cigarette smoking on practicing sports
- Smoking cigarettes significantly raises the heart rate. During each training session, the human heart rate increases and this is an appropriate response of the body. Smokers have an average heart rate of 30% higher than that of a non-smoker, so it can be dangerous to increase your heart rate even more while exercising.
- Smoker's blood has modified blood. Smoker's blood contains nicotine metabolites, so it is thicker and more difficult to pump through the heart, which causes hypoxia in the body's cells. Long-term hypoxia lowers the heart efficiency - which leads to a worse condition of the body.
- Smoking cigarettes contributes to breathing problems. Tar substances accumulate in the lungs of smokers, the so-called tar. As a result, the area of the lungs, which should be used for gas exchange, becomes smaller, so that during training the appropriate amount of oxygen does not reach the muscles - that's why we feel a decline in condition.
- The worse condition of heavy smokers. Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide), which by combining with hemoglobin forms a compound carboxyhemoglobin, which is not able to transport oxygen - that's why smokers get tired so quickly.
- The influence of cigarettes on building muscles. The harmful components of tobacco smoke cause the formation of myostatin, which inhibits muscle growth. Other harmful substances cause the production of enzymes that break down muscle proteins. In conclusion, building muscle tissue in smokers is impaired.
- Testosterone levels in smokers. Testosterone is a male hormone that has a great impact on strength and muscle mass, fat transport and bone density. Smoking cigarettes causes the testosterone level to drop - as a result, we can observe muscle weakness, constant fatigue, and depression may also occur.
In conclusion, never reach for your first cigarette. A new generation device in the form of NEXONE heater and NEXUS sticks with or without nicotine. Instead of smoke, the NEXONE device produces environmentally friendly steam - without tar and many other compounds harmful to health.
