Smoking is a terrible habit yet many people do it. In fact, the number of smokers in the country has risen in the recent years. Despite the many efforts made by the authority to curb smoking habit among the nation, the effort seems to fail to show any positive results. The million dollar question is, why do people smoke and what are the side-effects of smoking?
As we all know, smoking do not bring any benefits to us but it does expose us to numerous health hazards. Diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema, lung cancer, nasal cancer and so on so forth are simply few of the many outcome of smoking. Therefore, before you light up another cigarette, think about which hospital bed you want to lay on in the next 5 to 10 years.
Besides that, smokes do not only harm themselves but they also harm others by producing the problem of second-hand smoke. The damaging effects of carbon monoxide, nicotine, tar and carcinogens are just as bad being inhaled by non-smokers. This is almost like act of murder in the second degree but the blood is in the hands of the smokers.
Moreover, the habit of smoking is a wasteful thing to do. Since one can become addicted to cigarette smoking easily due to nicotine, therefore he or she will go back to the habit of smoking. Moreover the price of a packet of cigarette is not cheap so in the long run, smoking is an expensive habit.
In addiction to this, smoking is not good for one’s image. A smoker is easily identified by his poor complexion on the face, yellow teeth and bad breath. He is definitely not an ideal person to befriend with or going out on a date with.
As a closure, smoking do more harm than good so we must stay away from such insidious habit. Only then can we assure ourselves a healthy and fulfilling life.
