Occasionally, we would treat him to a restaurant or a general snack. On my father’s birthday, I specially ordered a birthday peach for him.”

9 major dangers of smoking
According to the Tobacco and Alcohol Control Office of the Hong Kong Department of Health, tobacco smoke contains harmful substances such as tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide. Smog contains more than 7,000 chemical substances (such as ashes, arsenic, etc.), of which at least 69 are carcinogens (such as nitrosamines, acetaldehyde, chromium, etc.).
After these toxins enter the body, they will damage almost every organ and seriously endanger health. As a result, smoking can lead to a variety of diseases and disabilities, and even smoking just one cigarette a day can increase a smoker’s risk of cancer and premature death. Moreover, the harm of smoking is not limited to its health effects, but also includes economic and social losses.
The harm caused by second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke can even affect your family members. People who are exposed to second-hand smoke for a long time have a higher risk of contracting smoking-related diseases than smokers. Secondhand smoke can cause lung cancer in non-smokers. Secondhand smoke substances have been designated as one of the causes of lung cancer by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and are classified as Class A carcinogens, increasing the risk of cancer.
