Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke is typically breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream. Most commonly, the substance used is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant, which have been rolled into a small rectangle of rolling paper to create a small, round cylinder called a cigarette.

Introduction:
Smoking is a dangerous addiction. If anyone is habituated to smoking, he cannot easily give it up. In course of time, he becomes a chain smoker and cannot do without it even for a few hours.
What it is:
Smoking is drawing in and letting out the smoke of burning tobacco. Some people smoke tobacco mixed with the help of pipes and Hubble bubbles. Some people smoke cigarettes which are rolls of shredded tobacco enclosed in thin paper for smoking.
Injurious matters:
One puff of cigarette smoke contains many injurious matters like nicotine, arsenic, carbon monoxide, methyl alcohol and so on.
Evils:
Nicotine constricts blood vessels and impedes the flow of blood and oxygen. It also quickens the heartbeats. Both these raise blood pressure and result in heart- attacks. Arsenic and tobacco tar are cancer-causing. Tobacco tar gathers in a mass inside the lungs, slackens their actions and finally destroys them. The drying effect of cigarette smoke also leads to the same results. Carbon monoxide drives oxygen out of the red blood cells. Besides, smoking can cause irritation in the eye, offend the nose and unsettle the mind. The stench of cigarette smoke is repulsive to non-smokers.
Conclusion:
A non-smoker of twenty-five is likely to live at least ten years longer than a smoker of that age. It is almost certain that smoking tobacco products is dangerous. It may cause cancer, heart attack, chronic bronchitis and some other diseases. So It should be given up and it can be done with a bit of determination.
