 A study of over 1 million women  conducted by The Lancet, one of the world’s leading medical journals,  has shown that stopping smoking before age 40 cuts the risk of tobacco-related death by 90%. That figure increases to 97% if women quit before age 30.

Smoking causes heart disease, lung disease, cancer, stroke and death.

We have also heard of the dangers of second-hand smoke.

According to the World Health Organization,

With each puff of smoke, the body is exposed to over 4000 chemicals, over 50 of which are known to cause cancer.

A few of the chemicals in cigarette smoke are listed below.
