Smoking addiction

Description of Smoking addiction

Definition
 
Tobacco use is the most common preventable cause of death. Soon after one quits, the circulation begins to improve, and the blood pressure starts to return to normal. 
 
Your sense of smell and taste return, and it's easier for you to breathe. In the long term, giving up tobacco can help you live longer. The risk of getting cancer decreases with each year you stay smoke-free.
 
You may have short-term effects such as weight gain, irritability, and anxiety. Some people try several times before they succeed. There are many ways to quit smoking. 
 
Prevention
 
1. Others benefit from step-by-step manuals, counseling, or medicines or products that help reduce nicotine addiction. 
2. Some people think that switching to e-cigarettes can help you quit smoking
