             Smoking is injurious to health. This is what we find written on a packet of cigarette. But still people do not give up smoking. Knowing the dangers of smoking, people try to ignore the reality, and they keep smoking. If you are a chain smoker then you should be well aware of the after effects of smoking. Effects of smoking are not manifested in the early days, but you will surely feel it later. Most of the cancer patients die every year because of smoking and smokers also cause harm to the environment.

When you initially start smoking you may not be able to understand the ill effects of it, but gradually you will feel the effects. One cigarette consists of 49 carcinogenic components and 400 different toxins. Then imagine how much one whole packet can contain.There are many hazards of smoking. It has been seen that most of the lung cancer, oral cancer, throat cancer, and larynx are mainly caused due to excessive smoking.

 The toxins that are present in the smoke can cause heavy breathing problems and some lung disorders like emphysema, bronchitis, and the lung also stops functioning. Because of excessive smoking smokers generally cough a lot and this is the main symptom of lung cancer, consequently the respiratory organ becomes more infectious because of low immunity.

Women also have taken up smoking and it has been seen that women who are in to excessive smoking face serious problems when they conceive. Too much of smoking can cause infertility, miscarriages for a women. Smoking during pregnancy can be very dangerous for the child
.
Men who are in to excessive smoking generally suffer from infertility because they have very less sperm count. Smoking also causes several oral problems like tinted teeth, bad breath, mouth sores etc.When smoking becomes an addiction for you, it becomes very difficult to refrain yourself from smoking and you become completely dependent on that small piece of rolled paper with tobacco filling which can be fatal to your health.


 It has been seen that, most of the children start smoking when they are in wrong company. At times they develop this habit from their parents who are also in to smoking. College students are more exposed to the dangers of smoking. This is majorly due to peer pressure and the tendency to ape. These are some of the ill effects of smoking. Think twice before you get addicted to this poison.
