Tobacco or cigarette
smoking is an addictive habit and because of the amount of nicotine in cigarettes
the users get addicted to it and hence so many people worldwide are finding it
difficult to quit smoking. Despite
knowing the dangers of smoking, some people find it hard to stop smoking. Teenagers and young adults normally smoke so
that be on par with their social circles.
Smoking is not only highly addictive, but a smoker spends a
lot of money on cigarettes; smoking can result in serious life-threatening
diseases and other problems like bad breath, yellow teeth and fingers, bad skin
etc. Smoking affects not only the smoker
but the people around as well because the smoke which getting emitted from your
lungs contains huge amounts of poisonous chemicals which are bad for health and
the problem of second-hand smoke affects all around you and even children. Smoking
is also the most common reason for premature death among smokers and the distressing
part of it is that deaths also include children who are exposed to second-hand
smoke from their parents or relatives.
When you smoke you inhale a lot of harmful chemicals, some of
which are shown to cause different cancer related and other respiratory diseases.
Smoking is also a major cause of
strokes, heart illnesses, and several other life-threatening diseases. If you
are a pregnant woman and are a smoker or surrounded by smokers your baby most
probably will develop either of conditions like weak heart and lungs with
curtailed lung function and narrow air passages, premature birth or even death
of a child. If you manage to quit smoking the chances
of these illnesses are completely reduced, and you can lead a healthy life.
