Oh, my! This I have to show this to my brother. Our dentist advised him to quit smoking because he has periodontitis. Hopefully, this will help him to quit smoking permanently.
I think my older brother should be reading this for him to stop or refrain from smoking...this is a scary smoking risk article. I really hate the smell of a cigarette smoke!!
Aside from this, a lot of research has been done to help smokers quit from smoking. Most rich countries increase the retail price of cigs. Other’s put in the label, “Surgeons’ warning: smoking cigarettes will kill you.” And there are also horrible images on every cig’s box that show the side-effects. And now we have electronic ones which have no nicotine.
Hi, I would like to read all such blogs related to smoking and tobacco. Really very instructive and useful to create awareness among people about tobacco and smoking facts. Thanks. Keep posting!

Just... gonna put this out there. I understand that nicotine 'controls' the brain and makes you crave for more but with this, you see the dangers. With this, maybe you could learn to control your own body, don't let foreign chemicals control it. If you want to stop smoking, then stop smoking. You're the one who was in control that first time, right? You're the one that lifted the cancer stick to your mouth, and inhaled, correct? For some odd reason, smoking has been romanticized, and people find it attractive when a pretty lady is holding it, or has it in between their teeth, but wait and see how long that girl will be pretty, wait and see how long she'll be there, for that matter. It's disgusting, do you really want to kiss a lady with breath that smells like death? Not meaning to be sexist in any sense, it's not like it's just bad for women or course, I'm only talking about the way smoking is romanticized. It's much more than skin deep.
if you think that bad you should look at more I'm 13 and doing a report. people not know that is happen to there body's, and the only reason I'm writing this report to get my dad to quit smoking. I hate how people not know about this it's sad. I have 6 people in my family I wish they would red this and see what is happen to there body's. It makes me sick to read this and people think it's ok.
