However, smoking is responsible for more than 75,000 deaths each year.<br \/>\nTobacco remains harmful to health but also poses significant health risks for everyone, including athletes.<\/p>\n<p>At the same level of effort, a smoker&#039;s respiratory capacity is much lower than that of a non-smoker. Smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day, for example, can cause hypoxia (which corresponds to a decrease in the amount of oxygen in the blood) similar to hypoxia caused when one is at an altitude of more than 2,500 meters. Physical activity requires an influx of blood to the muscles to provide the necessary oxygen and sugar by means of vasodilation. In an athlete who smokes, the same exercise will require an increase in cardiac work, thereby tiring the heart and increasing the risk factor for coronary disease, sudden death, or heart attack.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-962 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.generationsanstabac.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/sportifs-pas-proteges-mefaits-tabac-dangers.jpg\" alt=\"sportifs-pas-proteges-me\" width=\"1385\" height=\"923\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the most dangerous cigarette is the one immediately following exercise and a shower. These are often very hot, which has the effect of maintaining vasodilation. When the athlete smoker goes outside to go into a cooler environment and smokes a cigarette, puffing hard to warm up, he accumulates several vasoconstriction factors.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, smoking and exercise do not mix well. Athletes are at increased risk of cardiovascular accidents during their activities; quitting is the best option to prevent these risks and improve physical performance.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\">\u00a9Generation Without Tobacco<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #e8e8e8;\">|| \u00a9DNF For a Zero Tobacco world<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most dangerous cigarette is the one immediately following exercise and a shower.
