Smoking is a vice that is never good for the health. It causes lung and other cancers where the smoke passes through. Both men and woman find smoking hard to resist and both are also susceptible to various diseases caused by smoking. It is hard to stop smoking if you’re doing it for many years and you’ve grown accustomed to it but you also have to think about the health consequences it can give to you in the long run. There are more or less 484,000 smoking-related deaths in the US alone, according to the Disease Control and Prevention. On the other hand, Medical Daily announced that there are about 3,200 Americans ages 18 years old and below who smoke their first cigarette each day.
