Smoking is injurious to health

Absolutely true. Smoking is injurious to health 🚭

Here’s why, in clear terms:

Major harms of smoking
• Lungs: Causes lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
• Heart & blood vessels: Increases risk of heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure.
• Cancer risk: Linked to cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, bladder, and more.
• Weakened immunity: You get sick more often and recover more slowly.
• Reduced lifespan: Long-term smokers lose years of life on average.

Effects on others
• Secondhand smoke harms non-smokers, especially children—causing asthma, infections, and heart disease.

Good news
• Quitting works at any age:
• Within weeks: breathing and circulation improve.
• Within months: coughing and shortness of breath decrease.
• Over time: cancer and heart risks drop significantly.
