A little about a bad habit
Nicotine has a negative effect on human health. Smokers may experience ailments of the heart and blood vessels, stomach and intestines, bronchi and lungs. A dangerous hobby provokes the onset of oncological diseases much more often than in non-smoking patients. In men, these are problems with potency, in women - infertility. Newlyweds who smoke create an unhealthy foundation for the development of future children.
The cigarette is a real poison that slowly kills a nation's health.
