Let us start from the head and mouth downwards….

In a year, more than 6 trillion cigarettes that are consumed by more than 1 billion smokers worldwide.

Is it worth stopping smoking at 60?
YES ! It turns out there's a benefit to quitting even later in life. Research published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine finds that older adults who quit smoking in their 60s have a lower chance of dying in the years that followed than contemporaries who kept smoking.

One of the wealthiest industries globally – the tobacco sector – has seen dramatic growth in recent decades.

Even smoking has a huge role in damaging the environment.
