The short term effects of tobacco include weakened immune system, nicotine addiction, bad breath, and yellowed teeth. However, one of the options given, "Dulled taste buds," is NOT a short term effect of tobacco.
To find the correct answer, we need to evaluate each of the options and determine which one does not belong with the others.
1. Weakened immune system: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. It refers to the negative impact on the body's ability to fight off diseases and infections.
2. Nicotine addiction: This is also a short-term effect of tobacco use. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in tobacco products, and its regular consumption can lead to addiction.
3. Bad breath: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. Tobacco smoke contains numerous chemicals that can cause unpleasant breath odor.
4. Yellowed teeth: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. Tobacco smoke contains tar, which leaves stains on teeth, turning them yellow over time.
5. Dulled taste buds: This is also a short-term effect of tobacco use. Smoking can dull the sensitivity of taste buds, making it harder to fully enjoy flavors.
By process of elimination, the option "Weakened immune system" appears twice, which may be an error. Therefore, the correct answer is that the short-term effects of tobacco include weakened immune system, nicotine addiction, bad breath, yellowed teeth, but not dulled taste buds.
