The hard truth is that smoking is bad. Furthermore, it accelerates menopause, makes the skin pallid, damages the lungs and the heart, inflames the blood vessels (more than half of all heart attacks sustained by people in their 40s are due to smoking), and increases the risk of osteoporosis without you even noticing. Not convinced yet? The list is still long. It also causes about 30% of tumors in general (lungs, cervix, breast). The good news is that the damage is reversible from the moment you stop. Think about it!
