Online Smoking Cessation

“ Tobacco consists of nearly 7,000 chemicals out of which 69 chemicals are carcinogens, i.e. cancer-causing toxic elements.”

Smoking cigarettes, bidi, or any other tobacco product is hazardous to one’s health as well as for life. Tobacco consists of nearly 7,000 chemicals out of which 69 chemicals are carcinogens, i.e. cancer-causing toxic elements. These toxic elements start rusting the internal organs like the lungs (in the case of cigarette/bidi/hookah) and start erosion of the mouth or teeth (in case of Khaini/soda/gutkha). Tobacco consumption is problematic because it consists of the nicotine which makes the person addicted and urges internal cravings for repeated use. Another problem is the cancerous disease as a result of this. Apart from this, smoking has been reported as the leading cause of heart diseases.
