Damaging habit

Nov 12,2014 - Last updated at Nov 12,2014

Stopping smoking may be one of the most difficult things to do, yet, quitting smoking is the single most important step a person can take to improve the length and quality of life.

As soon as one quits, the body begins to repair the damage caused by smoking.

Smoking is really dangerous. It is one of the main contributors to heart attacks.

Smoking does not affect only those who smoke; second-hand smoking is equally damaging to one’s health.
