Even though this surge is temporary it is capable of damaging the artery walls .But for diabetics even a temporary surge can be life threatening.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c0\">Passive smoking can increase the risk of heart ailments. Diabetics are already at a threat of a heart disease and smoking compromises the situation even more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/rWaiXH-orwSvX3ym4FTgmRB__vqjkoBgZpsb3iUE5EZx9RQavxUoZhw8BmWKgTgodSoj89l7kMg5CSHjdPhivrh1-dRoWd9eVue7coWM49i0barYEui7KTvWYZMcP43aQ4zUeUGe\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c2\">Insulin which is known to regulate blood sugar can also be affected by tobacco. Tobacco may cause&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c2\">insulin resistance<\/span><span class=\"c2 c13\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"c0\">leading to high levels of sugar in blood. In extreme cases it can lead to heart &amp; kidney damage and damage to blood vessels as well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c0\">Tobacco consumption especially smoking can cause irritation in the airways causing swelling or lining of the passage with mucus.
