Smoking is the drawing in and puffing out of smoke from burning tobacco in cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. It can damage people’s lungs and hearts leading to serious illness and can make people cough and feel short of breath.

The U.S Public Health Service published a report on January 11, 1964 stating that cigarette smoking is an important cause of lung cancer and other deadly diseases. Cigarette packages must bear a wrote warning that smoking is dangerous. The government‘s warning was gave only after ten of the country’s outstanding doctors studied scientific evidence for more than one year. When their studies were finished, all ten doctors agreed that a warning should be issued.

Tobacco smoke have tiny amounts of tars and nicotine. Tars take form as tobacco burns. Tars coat the lungs and the cilia, the ‘cleaning brushes’ of the lung’s bronchial tubes ,cannot brush our germs and dust as they should. Nicotine is a drug contained in tobacco leaves. It makes the heart beat faster and also speeds up breathing.

The use of tobacco for smoking probably began with the American Indians. Smoking soon became fashionable in the courts of Europe.

Cigarette smokers often inhale the tobacco smoke into their lungs. They’re more likely to be affected by the harmful substances in smoke than cigar and pipe smokers who usually don’t inhale. But pipe and cigar smokers absorb nicotine that might injure the heart and thus being prone to heart borne diseases.
