4. Nicotine, one of the components of cigarettes, slows cilia" lining the respiratory tract, causes blood vessels to constrict, and increases heart rate. Another component of cigarette smoke is carbon monoxide. As you have read, carbon monoxide competes with oxygen for binding sites on the hemoglobin molecule found in red blood cells. Analyse the data presented, and describe the potential dangers associated with smoking.
