Your body temperature goes up when you smoke. Here's why: The temperature at the tip of a cigarette is 95 degrees C, or 203 degrees F. Inhale hot smoke, and it raises your lung temperature. When your lungs are hot, they are unable to perform one of their responsibilities, which is to cool or remove heat from your body. As a result, it raises your core body temperature. Stop smoking, and your body temperature returns to normal within about 20 minutes.
A fever is an increase in your body temperature. Normal body temperature is 98.6Â°F (37Â°C). Fever is generally defined as greater than 100.4Â°F (38Â°C). The cause of your fever may not be known. This is called fever of unknown origin. It occurs when you have a fever above 100.9ËF (38.3Â°C) for 3 weeks or more. The following are common causes of fever: An infection caused by a virus or bacteria. An inflammatory disorder, such as arthritis. A brain infection or injury.
