Smoking

This is not a poem or a book, its an article on why smoking is bad for you.

Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. This is primarily practised as a route of administration for recreational drug use, as combustion releases the active substances in drugs such as nicotine and makes them available for absorption through the lungs. The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper. Other smoking implements include pipes, cigars, bidis, hookahs, vaporizers, and bongs. Smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable death globally. In the United States about 500,000 deaths per year are attributed to smoking-related diseases and a recent study estimated that as much as 1/3 of China's male population will have significantly shortened life-spans due to smoking. At least half of all lifelong smokers die earlier as a result of smoking. The risk of dying from lung cancer before age 85 is 22.1% for a male smoker and 11.9% for a female current smoker. Smoking one cigarette a day results in a risk of heart disease that is halfway between that of a smoker and a non-smoker. Among the diseases that can be caused by smoking are vascular stenosis, lung cancer, heart attacks and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Smoking during pregnancy may cause ADHD to a fetus. About 200 million of the world’s one billion smokers are women.

Far fewer women than men use tobacco. Globally, about 40% of men smoke

as compared with nearly 9% of women. However, the epidemic of

tobacco use among women is increasing in some countries. Boys and girls start using tobacco for different reasons.

Many more girls than boys smoke in the false belief that it is a good way to

control weight. Low self-esteem is associated with smoking among girls, and

available evidence from some developed countries shows that girls have lower

self-esteem than boys. Tobacco control strategies must recognize that boys'

and girls' decisions to start using tobacco are influenced by different cultural,

psychosocial and socioeconomic factors. More women than men smoke light cigarettes. Women who smoke are more likely than those who do not to experience

infertility and delays in conceiving. Smoking during pregnancy increases

risks of premature delivery, stillbirth and newborn death, and may cause

a reduction in breast milk. Smoking increases women's risk for cancer of

the cervix. People should stop smoking because Its very harmful to their body. You can get many diseases. It can also kill you. Smoking can be very addictive. Some people can’t get through a day without having a cigarette.
