Smoking is very injurious to health. Cancer is the direct consequence of this. Smokers are not only harming themselves but others too, through passive smoking.
THE AGE-old dictum rightly goes "Smoke thrills but kills." Indeed, smoking is lethal to health both to the smoker as well as to the passive smoker. Youngsters smoke with the urge to follow their peers, relieving themselves from tension as we're all living in a very stressful world and they also do so to try something 'different'.
In their quest to fulfill their urge, smokers do not realise that they are not only putting their life in danger but also the life of others. Smoking is not only addictive but also self-harming. Speaking of human health, cigarettes and other smoking devices contain tobacco and cause much irreparable damage to lungs, throat, and other body parts.
Smoking causes cancer and other ailments. The life-span of smokers is much shorter as compared to that of others. Statistics suggest that smoking kills around 1,14,000 people in the U.K. each year. One roll of cigarette contains numerous chemical compounds along with 400 toxic substances. Upon lighting up a cigarette, the tip burns at a temperature of 700 degree Celsius and 60 degree Celsius at the bottom. The heat, which is generated breaks down the tobacco to produce various toxins. Moving on to the environment side, smoke causes pollution because of the harmful toxins emitted in the otherwise clean air. It's high time that people learn self control and lead a better life. There are even techniques of coming out of this through self-help programmes, and psychiatrists, etc. In case a person has to smoke, then he must go in for harmless cigarettes, which have been developed for highly addicted people.
