Is smoking really so dangerous?

Why is it so hard to quit smoking?

Cigarettes contain nicotine that induces tobacco dependency. The tobacco industry uses tens of additives in order to cause increased addiction in smokers, increasing their consumption. That addiction, coupled with withdrawal symptoms, causes numerous symptoms that limit and delay the decision to stop smoking. It is a very difficult to abandon this toxic habit.

The filter type, length, diameter and porosity of the cigarette paper, influence the absorption of smoke and its chemical components. Substances of tobacco resulting from their combustion will be responsible for producing and increasing addiction.

Are there less harmful types of tobacco?

There is not any less damaging tobacco. All of them contain additives. The belief that certain types of snuff may look greener or less harmful is not true. In the smoke we can objectify thousands of toxic, carcinogenic gases and even lethal chemicals. All substances in smoke are subsequently absorbed by all smokers and people who are around you.
