Smoking can cause various forms of cancer and is proven to be one of the leading causes of preventable death. Tobacco smoke contains numerous dangerous substances that can negatively impact both smokers and non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke. Quitting smoking can significantly reduce cancer risks, while continuing to smoke increases the chances of developing deadly diseases like lung cancer and other illnesses.
Smoking causes numerous health risks and is highly addictive. Once someone becomes a smoker, they face increased risks of cancer, respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, fertility issues, and more. Symptoms of smoking include coughing, shortness of breath, fatigue, and poor circulation. Quitting smoking is difficult due to withdrawal symptoms like cravings, but medical help and social support can aid in successfully quitting for good.
