Relation between Tobacco and Diseases
Cigarette smoke contains many toxic substances including nicotine, which has been linked to cancer, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, duodenal ulcers, as well as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Even if you have a smoking habit, it has been shown that quitting smoking lowers the risk of tobacco-related diseases.
