Risks of emphysema, asthma and cancer are associated with the tars and hydrocarbons in inhaled smoke. The tar acts to coat the bronchial sacs, in effect causing the bronchial sacs to be damaged beyond repair and suffocating the smoker over time. The hydrocarbons contain cancer causing chemicals that enter the blood stream and are carried throughout the body.

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.
