A bit of a bad habit
Nicotine has a negative effect on human health. Smokers can get diseases of the heart and blood vessels, stomach and intestines, bronchi and lungs. The dangerous hobby provokes the appearance of oncological diseases much more often than in non-smokers. For men, these are problems with potency, for women - infertility. Newlyweds who smoke create an unhealthy foundation for the development of future children.
Cigarettes are a real poison that is slowly killing the health of the nation.
