Reduces Bone Density

Nicotine disrupts how your body absorbs calcium, a vital nutrient for building and maintaining strong, healthy bones.

Reduces Bone Density

Smoking lowers bone mineral density, making bones weaker, thinner, and more prone to fractures especially in older adults.

Nicotine disrupts how your body absorbs calcium, a vital nutrient for building and maintaining strong, healthy bones.

Interferes with Calcium Absorption

Decreases Estrogen Levels

In women, smoking reduces estrogen, a hormone that protects bone density raising the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Slows Bone Healing

Fractures take longer to heal in smokers due to reduced blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients reaching the bone tissue.

Increases Risk of Osteoporosis

Smoking accelerates bone loss and increases the risk of osteoporosis, especially in postmenopausal women and older adults.

- Stopping smoking improves circulation, hormone balance, and nutrient absorption allowing bones to regain strength and heal better over time.
