The Impact of Smoking on Health and Society
Smoking is a significant public health concern due to its harmful effects on the body, particularly the lungs. Tobacco smoke contains various harmful components that contribute to severe health consequences, such as lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory issues. Passive smoking, or secondhand smoke, poses risks to non-smokers, especially children. Understanding the differences between smoking and vaping is crucial in navigating the associated health effects and legal regulations.
