When you smoke, you aren't getting enough oxygen. You are breathing in useless crud instead. Your heart beats faster meaning there is even more demand for oxygen that isn't there.
So that’s the difference. When you exercise your heart speeds up to help you work and give your body what it needs, when you smoke, it speeds up because you are making it work too hard and not giving your body what it needs. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
