What smoking does to your circulation:

This picture shows a hand with normal circulation, with heat all throughout the hands.

This picture shows the hands of a person who has just smoked a cigarette.  The blue part is where there is no heat and the red part shows where there is heat.  Smoking a cigarette makes the blood from your hands leave, which in turn lowers the temperature of your hands.
