I agree with that statement. Why? Because smoking is one of the biggest causes of preventable disease and premature death. Smoking makes somebody addictive, because of nicotine which is found naturally in tobacco. I know, it can produce pleasant feelings that make the smoker want to smoke more and more. But, we have to know what kinds impacts of smoking. There are many impacts which are caused by smoking.
First, it causes cancer. As we know, and almost all people know that smoking can cause lung cancer. But, few of them know that smoking can cause many other kinds of cancer too, including cancer of the mouth, voice box (larynx), throat (pharynx), esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, stomach, and some leukemia’s. Statistics show that for those people who smoke at least two packets of cigarettes a day, one in seven of them will die because of lung cancer.
Second, it causes heart attack. One of the causes of heart attack is smoking. Smokers are twice as likely to die from heart attack as are non-smokers.
Third, it causes infant death syndrome. Studies show that possibility of infant mortality is 50 % higher when the mother smokes than in case of non-smoking mothers. The impact of smoking is that smoking will lead to sudden infant death syndrome.
Fourth, it causes impotence. The damage caused by smoking to male sexual health also includes: reduce volume of ejaculate, lowered sperm count and abnormal sperm shape.
Fifth, it spends much money. The prospect of health is a major reason for quitting, but there is other reason too. Smoking is expensive. And it needs costs for health, life insurance, and health care costs.
