Health risks of smoking

• The health effects of tobacco smoking are related to direct tobacco smoking, as well as passive smoking, inhalation of environmental or secondhand tobacco smoke.

• The main health risks ; (heart attack)

diseases of the respiratory tract such as asthma, emphysema, and cancer, particularly lung cancer and cancers of the tongue.

• A person's increased risk of contracting disease is directly proportional to the length of time that a person continues to smoke as well as the amount smoked.

• However, if someone stops smoking, then these chances gradually decrease as the damage to their body is repaired. A year after quitting, the risk of contracting heart disease is half that of a continuing smoker.

California and its cities tend to have the earliest and most prohibitive bans.
