 Premenstrual syndrome is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, effected over 70% to 90% of women in the US and lesser for women in Southeast Asia because of difference in living style and social structure. The syndrome also interferes women's physical and emotional states, and daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation and occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts.

The adverse effects of Smoking on premenstrual syndrome
1. Hormone imbalance
Smoking not only increases the risk of lung cancer(1), it also depletes the levels of good estrogen and exhibit the levels of bad estrogen(3) causing hormone imbalance resulting in increasing the risk of pre menstrual syndrome(4) and PMS symptoms(5) for some smoking women.

 2. Immune system
 Cadmium is very toxins(), it has an ability to attach to arteries wall(plagues)(8) and make the wall thinner, leading to increased cardiovascular mortality and increased incidence of cardiovascular disease(7) and decreasing heart function in blood transportation of nutrients and oxygen to our body cells need, which contributes to nutrients deficiency(9) cause of symptoms of premenstrual syndrome(10)

 3. Toxin accumulation
Cigarette contain high levels of toxic chemical compound(6) that may danger to your health including increasing nervous tension(11) and weakening the immune system(12) such as negative allergic reaction(12) and irregular cells growth(12), etc.

 4. Mineral deficiency
Cigarette contain high levels of cadmium which inhibits the minerals Ca, Zn, Se, Cr and Fe and deficiencies(13) causing minerals deficiency(9) elevating symptoms of PMS.

 5. Vitamin deficiency
Women with premenstrual syndrome are found to have a low levels of B vitamins(14), namely
Thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, and vitamin B-12. Smoking decreased concentrations of several antioxidant vitamins, thus increasing risk of premenstrual syndrome(15).
