Why quit smoking and vaping? Heart surgeon Dr London warns it affects ‘the entire body from top of head to tip of toes’ | Health
Summary
In an Instagram video, board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon Dr Jeremy London details why smoking and vaping are 'the single worst thing you can do for your entire body.' He explains that inhaling any substance other than oxygen harms the lungs' primary function. Furthermore, toxic chemicals in smoke damage blood vessels, impairing oxygen and nutrient delivery to every organ 'from the top of the head to the tip of the toes.' While acknowledging the difficulty of quitting due to nicotine addiction, Dr London emphasizes that stopping is the most important health decision one can make, as the body begins to recover within minutes of the last cigarette.
