TOBACCO ADDICTION
Tobacco addiction is one of the leading preventable causes of death and disease worldwide. Whether smoked or chewed, tobacco contains harmful chemicals that severely damage the human body over time. It is directly linked to a wide range of fatal conditions, including cancer, tuberculosis, and cataracts. Quitting tobacco may seem challenging, but it is one of the most important steps towards a healthier, longer life.
Health Effects of Tobacco Use
Tobacco use harms nearly every organ in the body and is a leading cause of preventable disease and death. At Spark Medical Centre, we emphasize the serious risks it poses including heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions. Even occasional use can damage blood vessels and reduce lung function. Long-term use leads to addiction and life-threatening health issues, but recovery is possible with the right support.
