Answer:
Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains the very addictive chemical nicotine. As with heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly get used to the nicotine in cigarettes. Soon, a person needs to have it just to feel normal.
People start smoking for different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Almost all adult tobacco users started before they were 18 years old. Most never expected to become addicted. That's why it's so much easier to not start smoking at all. Many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are poisons that can kill in high doses. The body is smart. It goes on the defense when it's being poisoned. First-time smokers often feel pain or burning in their throat and lungs, and some even throw up the first few times they try tobacco.
Over time, smoking leads to health problems such as:
heart disease
stroke
lung damage
many types of cancer — including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer
Other problems include:
gum disease
yellow teeth
eye disease
an increased risk for infections (like pneumonia)
a greater risk of diabetes
weaker bones that are easier to break
skin problems like psoriasis (a type of rash)
wrinkled skin
ulcers
Smoking can affect sexual health in both men and women.
