Smoking Hazards

Cigarettes have been deemed one of the greatest health hazards of the 20th century and are now widely regarded as the chief preventable cause of death. Tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco are more dangerous. When a cigarette is burned, it is broken down into its chemical elements from which lethal chemical compounds are created.
