Cigarettes: Cigarette smoking is a
habit in which tobacco is burned and
its vapors are either tasted or inhaled
and the active substances are
absorbed via the alveoli in the lungs
which trigger off chemical reactions in
nerve endings causing rise in the
coronary heart rate. To stop smoking
you must be very determined and
