By the time I bought my second pack, I learned how to properly smoke and it felt great. The nicotine rush was equivalent to being buzzed for a few minutes.

There has been multiple claims that e-cigarettes give off “heavy metal toxins”; However, the data found that the vapor produced from vaporizers were close, nearly…

cessation refers to the process of discontinuing smoking of tobacco. Though Smoking cessation normally seems to be a very simple process, in real sense it is one of the most challenging processes bearing in mind that tobacco contains a high level of nicotine and is very addictive hence making the process of quitting not only difficult but also prolonged.

Smoking bans are set to help save the lives of smokers, non-smokers, and the environment around us. Smoking harms the human body in many ways. Although some…
