Question
Dear Jurriaan,   
  I am 14 years old and need some help with a project that I am working on called The Effects of Tobacco and I was hoping that you could help me out. Now I am aware that tobacco use over a extended period of time can result in cancer but, does smoking have any immediate effect on a persons body the first time they try tobacco? Thank you for your help and time in advance.
              Mary
