Smoking is a very common habit, seen in most of the individuals... Do you know that SMOKING kills over 400,000 Americans each year ( as told by the site http://www.doctoryourself.com ).
Meaning: Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled ( www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking ).
Sources: cigarettes, pipes, cigars, bidis, hookahs, vaporizers and bongs.
Danger: The toxins from cigarette smoke can go everywhere the blood flows," said U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, FACS. ( http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/12369.php ).
What is Addiction? A smoking addiction means a person has formed an uncontrollable dependence on cigarettes to the point where stopping smoking would cause severe emotional, mental, or physical reactions.
Nicotine is the drug in tobacco that causes addiction. It is absorbed and enters the bloodstream, through the lungs when smoke is inhaled, and through the lining of the mouth (buccal mucosa) when tobacco is chewed or used as oral snuff or for non-inhaled pipe and cigar smoking.
