Answer:

1. Tobacco smoke is made up of thousands of chemicals, including at least 70 known to cause cancer.

2. There are many results of smoking. Smoking damages your heart and your blood circulation, increasing the risk of conditions such as coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, peripheral vascular disease (damaged blood vessels) and cerebrovascular disease (damaged arteries that supply blood to your brain).

Hoped this helped! :)
