Do not forget about angina pectoris, stomach ulcer, ischemic heart disease, brain diseases, which in most cases are associated with smoking. Are not yellow fingers and teeth disgusting, a gray complexion and even the smell of tobacco from a person?

Many actions are held to explain the consequences of smoking for women and girls who show a terrible example to children or harm their bodies, which will affect the health of future children.

But what about passive smoking, which is no less harmful than active smoking ? A non-smoking person inhales tobacco smoke daily, while in public places, passing a smoking company, walking in the park and even being in his own home.

Parents who smoke in the presence of their child, force him to establish himself in the mistaken opinion that a smoking person looks more solid, it is easier for him to attract attention to himself or to assert himself in the company. This is not true, but the child, for whom parents are a model of behavior, does not know about this.

Try to spend a day without tobacco, along with those who need help and support, who want to get rid of the terrible dependence and enjoy life without cigarettes.
