(This next piece of writing has been taken from http://quitsmoking.about.com/od/tobaccorelateddiseases/a/smokingrisks.htm).Do you have any idea which smoking-related disease is the number one cause of death among smokers? If you're thinking it's lung cancer or COPD/emphysema, you're wrong. While both of these smoking-related diseases do claim a lot of lives, it is heart disease that that holds the top slot in the list of diseases that kill smokers.
If you have any members of your family who smoke please advice them to stop!!thank u for reading
