Do you have someone loving, sharing your happiness and difficulties?

You are responsible to protect, care and love them in return. If body

the loved one. It isn't too late bring the bad habits to an end!

 

Cigarettes damages important organs in your body like lungs, heart,

brain and so on. The poisonous chemicals in cigarettes can cause

emphysema (a lung disease) and bronchitis (inflammation of air
