🚭 Say No to Smoking: Protect Yourself and Others 🚭

Did you know that passive smoking, also known as secondhand smoke, causes an estimated 1.3 million deaths each year? Being around smokers puts non-smokers at significant risk of serious health issues.

Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for nearly 85% of all cases. It also significantly increases the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes damage the cells in the lungs and airways, leading to these serious health conditions.

Vapes and e-cigarettes were initially promoted as an alternative to quit smoking, but recent studies show they cause higher nicotine dependence, especially among young users. Moreover, emerging research indicates that traditional smoking and e-cigarettes can be equally harmful.

Keep yourself and your loved ones healthy and happy, It’s never too late to quit smoking! 🩵💡
