Smoking

Smoking

Smoking has become the greatest reason for death in the world. Statistic on http://www. nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/tutorials/smokingthefacts/hp099203.pdf shows that half a million deaths per year in United States are due to smoking and http://www.cancer.org/docroot/PED/content/PED_10_2x_Questions_About_Smoking_Tobacco_and_Health.asp shows that smoking can kill about 650 million people in one day in the world. Diseases like cancers, strokes and many other diseases related to smoking have caused deaths. Cigarettes contain thousands of chemicals which all are harmful and some are addictive. Research has found that even smoking as few as 1 to 4 cigarettes a day can lead to serious health outcomes. The longer and more one uses cigarettes, chance of death in young age will increase.
