ya... Its a nice information..

Many of them know the risk but r still addicted to it.. thnxx for reading...

Nice info but people won't understand this. Every pack of cigarettes has a warning from the Surgeon General stating that smoking can be harmful to your health. smokers are not stupid. they understand this. they feel the harmful effects every time that they cough or have a sore throat, but this has not stopped them from smoking. Why? Because the reasons for smoking are mostly psychological. People are seduced to try tobacco by the glamorization of smoking in the movies and in advertisements. Addiction to nicotine makes it hard to quit smoking once they have started, but this addiction can be overcome in two weeks once the psychological reasons for smoking are eliminated.
