Tobacco has a harmful effect on blood vessels. Nicotine are present in the tobacco is such a harmful toxin which can cause blood vessels to contract immediately. Tobacco smoking is particularly harmful for older people and whose blood-vessels are already narrowed by arteriosclerosis because nicotine can close the artery completely causing a heart-attack. Thus, tobacco smokers face a higher risk of heart attack than non-smokers. Smoking tobacco affects the skin and hair of the person. The person who smokes tobacco daily may look aged and wrinkled skin.
Tobacco smoking damages the health of the smoker as well as of the non-smoking persons nearby.

When non-smoking persons inhale the cigarette smoke that fills the air around them then these poisonous substances enter their body and cause damage.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting!
Tobacco contains one of the most addictive drugs known nicotine. It’s acts as a stimulant as well as a depressant.
One of my favorite passage that have helped many friends is at Matthew 22:39
“You must live your neighbor as yourself”
When we think about that, do we really love our neighbor and family if we expose them to the dangers of secondhand smoke?
If we Pursue a habit that hurts those close to us, we are not showing neighborly love.
