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.
Fever is one of the body's most effective ways of fighting infection. The average body temperature is 98.6Â° F (37Â°C). But normal body temperature varies from person to person. It also changes during the day, rising a bit after you eat or exercise. Body temperature is often higher in the afternoon than it is when you wake up in the morning. Fever means a body temperature of 100.4Â° F (38Â°C) or higher. An infection is the most common cause of fever. Examples include the flu, pneumonia, food poisoning, and bladder infection. Other conditions can also cause a fever.
