Weakened immune system
The short-term effects of tobacco include dulled taste buds, weakened immune system, bad breath, yellowed teeth, and nicotine addiction. The correct answer is dulled taste buds.
To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option one by one:
1. Dulled taste buds: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. It can happen because smoking can damage taste buds, leading to a reduced sense of taste.
2. Weakened immune system: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. Smoking can weaken the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections and illnesses.
3. Bad breath: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. Smoking can cause an unpleasant odor in the breath, commonly known as "smoker's breath."
4. Yellowed teeth: This is a short-term effect of tobacco use. Smoking can stain the teeth and cause them to turn yellow.
5. Nicotine addiction: This is NOT a short-term effect of tobacco use. Addiction to nicotine can develop over time with continued tobacco use.
Based on this analysis, the correct answer is: Nicotine addiction.
