cigarettes

Cigarettes are small cylindrical rolls of tobacco that people smoke. The tobacco is processed and often mixed with additives to enhance flavor and preserve freshness. When burned, cigarettes produce smoke that contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance, along with numerous harmful chemicals and toxins. Smoking is linked to various health issues, including lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory problems. While some individuals smoke for pleasure or stress relief, many find it difficult to quit due to nicotine dependence. Public health efforts aim to reduce smoking rates through education, regulations, and support for cessation programs.
