Ergonomics :: FAQ
I smoke frequently. Can this affect the endurance of my muscles?
 
Smoking places poisonous carbon monoxide in your blood stream, decreasing the ability of your body to supply an adequate amount of blood to your muscles. Smoking also decreases the strength of the connective tissue in muscles, increasing the chance for muscle injury.
