Smoking cigarettes (and other substances) which contain many chemicals, including carbon monoxide which displaces oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule, reduces the ability of the body to transport optimal amounts of oxygen from the lungs to the body, especially during high demand situations such as intense physical activity of the aerobic type.

besides reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen it also does permanent damage to the lungs, triggers wheezing, promotes infections, and harms the heart and blood vessels.
