Cigarettes contain a variety of harmful substances. There are more than 200 types! Here, we will explain the harm of tobacco smoke.

Nicotine is a dependent substance found in tobacco. Over time, the reason why you want to smoke cigarettes is that this nicotine runs out. Nicotine is absorbed very well, so it reaches the whole body after a few seconds. Smoking a cigarette makes you feel calm and increase concentration because the nicotine runs out and frustrated.

It is said.
