It is true what they say that smokers are liable to
die young. These words means a lot to very few people. Smoking according to
research has proven to be harmful to every organ of the body, it causes many
diseases and reduces the health of smokers in general.
It causes about 90% of
all lung cancer deaths in men and women. More women die of lung cancer than of
breast cancer each year. Smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affects
the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). In order to reduce the
rate at which people’s lives who are nonsmokers but are affected by a smoker
around them and because of this nonchalant attitude, lives of these ones are
been cut short. To help the nonsmokers stay away from the hazards attached to
smoking, the Lagos state Governor has signed the bill passed by the House of
Assembly into law.
