A little about a bad habit
Nicotine has a negative effect on human health. Smokers can have diseases of the heart and blood vessels, stomach and intestines, bronchi and lungs. A dangerous hobby provokes the appearance of oncological diseases much more often than in non-smokers. In men, these are problems with potency, in women - infertility. Newlyweds who smoke create an unhealthy foundation for the development of future children.
Cigarettes are a real poison that is slowly killing the health of the nation.
We deal with nicotine addiction ourselves
