A bit about a bad habit
Nicotine has a negative effect on human health. Smokers can suffer from diseases of the heart and blood vessels, stomach and intestines, bronchi and lungs. A dangerous hobby provokes the appearance of oncological diseases much more often than in non-smoking patients. In men it is problems with potency, in women - infertility. Newlyweds who smoke create an unhealthy basis for the development of future children.
Cigarettes are a real poison that slowly kills the health of a nation.

- Eliminate the first companions of cigarettes - coffee and alcohol from the established diet. Consume compotes and juices, jelly and tea.
- Postpone meetings with smoking friends for at least a month.
- If you are tormented by the urge to smoke, drink a glass of plain water, eat an apple, mints, chew gum.
- Avoid for the time these situations and places where you smoke most often: clubs, places of entertainment, lunch breaks at work, outings with friends in nature.
