Why Should I Stop Smoking? by Firstinfosite(m): 12:46pm On Nov 17, 2017 |

Nicotine is also known as an addictive drug. It brings back pleasurable moments and that is why smoking is almost impossible to stop once it becomes a habit Tar in cigarette smoke paralyzes the cilia in the lugs and contributes to lung diseases such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis and lung cancer The third major chemical is carbon monoxide... see full article at www.fistinfosite..com source; www.firstinfosite..com |
