Smoking and Teenagers
The problem of teenage smoking is becoming more and more critical each year. More teenagers appear to be involved in smoking straight from the school years. It was established that people who started smoking before the age of 15 die from lung cancer 5 times more than those who started after 25.
There were registered cases of teenagers deaths caused by smoking 2-3 cigarettes in a row: due to serious poisoning of the vital centers, a cardiac arrest occurred and breathing stopped.
According to a research carried out in the University of Columbia (New York), a new harmful effect of smoking was identified: causeless fear. Teenagers smoking daily more than one cigarette pack are prone to a causeless panic 15 times more than their non-smoking peers are.

Smoking and Car Driving
According to the information system of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in the U.S., 10.3% of all fatal accidents in 1999 were caused by the fact that the driver was engaged in such things as smoking a cigarette, eating a hamburger, and even make-up making or trying to write something down.
Germany is probably the first country to place a ban on smoking while driving. Such a bill proposed by the Social Democrats is already at the Bundestag. Its authors believe that someone who smokes while driving is distracted from driving and can cause an accident.

Smoking and Fire
Every year in the U.S, 900 people die from fire caused by a cigarette. The damage from such fires is estimated at $400 million

Smoking and Etiquette
In accordance with the generally accepted international rules of etiquette, smokers must consider non-smokers before smoking, particularly in places where official bans do not prescript anything. Before you light a cigarette, it is always necessary to ask first whether others approve it. However, non-smokers should not regard smokers as second-class citizens. A reasonable desire for a smokeless air can also be expressed in a friendly manner. In any case, it is absolutely unacceptable to smoke in places where the “No smoking” sign is placed.

Smoking and Odours
It will not go away until you quit smoking. However, if you have already quit and want to immediately do away with the odour, try one of the tobacco odour neutralising substances.
