James Scala explains the exact effects on the body of smoking, looking at the heart, blood pressure, hardening of arteries, ageing of the skin and how smoking robs the blood of valuable nutrients. Additionally, the author explains how certain foods counteract these adverse effects, largely due to their anti-oxidizing properties. Vitamin C, beta carotene, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables, along with Vitamin E, can go a long way toward thwarting the ill effects of smoking.
