Smoking After Sleep Deprivation: Health Risks Intensified

When you don't sleep and then smoke, it's bad news for your body.

The mix of smoking and no sleep makes your body swell up inside, and your defenses against getting sick go down.

You're more likely to catch a cold or the flu.

While one cigarette after a sleepless night is not catastrophic, making it a habit could increase risk of lung disease.
