                           The Harmful Effects of Smoking

• 1. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer. If you have asthma, tobacco smoke can trigger an attack or make an attack worse.
• Smoking causes diminished overall health, increased absenteeism from work, and increased health care utilization and cost.
• Smoking cigarettes are the number-one risk factor for lung cancer

3. Tobacco cigarettes: Nearly 90 percent of adult smokers began smoking before age 18 and 11 percent of high school seniors reported smoking in the last month. Smokeless tobacco: Use of smokeless tobacco among adolescents is less common than cigarette smoking.

4. To obtain all related studies, we searched in PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, Karger, ProQuest, Sage Journals, Science Direct, Springer, Taylor and Francis, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane and Wiley Online Library. The search terms were “smoking cessation,” “smoking prevention,” “health promotion methods for smoking cessation,” “health promotion methods for smoking prevention,” “Cochrane” and smoking cessation/prevention.”

6. I will never smoke a cigarette or something related to it because it is bad for you and if you can get a disease or you can also get Lung Cancer and you will slowly die if you leave it to miss treated but if I had Lung Cancer, then I would go to a doctor and tell them how can I treat Lung Cancer so I won't die from the cause of it.
