Cigarettes contain nicotine which is a known factor to get deposited in the arteries to form a plague and lead to obstruction in the flow of blood.

The toxins in cigarette smoke thickens your blood, triggers plaque buildup, makes it harder for your blood to carry oxygen and increases risk of blood cloting. Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in your red blood cells, decreasing your energy.
