The worst disease for your health is smoking. The Medical Association of Great Britain described in figures the damage to a general state of health, human reproductive abilities and his or her libido, which is caused by smoking. Today in Britain 120 thousand men in the age begging from 30 up 50 years old suffer from impotence caused by smoking. Every year brings 5000 miscarriages and mothers give births to 14000 babies before their due time; smoking women give premature births to babies three times frequently than non-smoking ones do. Moreover, smoking women suffer from female sterility more frequently. Women who smoke should give a serious consideration to the question of whether smoking costs all these problems.
It is said a lot about damage of smoking. Nevertheless, concerns of scientists and doctors coursed by this widespread addiction, increase as far as the majority of people doesnt consider smoking to be bad for their health.
Smoking is not a harmless occupation, which you can give up without any efforts. It is a real addiction that is dangerous because of the majority of people does not take it seriously. Nicotine is one of the dangerous phytotoxins. Birds like sparrows and pigeons die out only if you just bring a glass stick wet with nicotine to their beaks. A rabbit dies from one forth of nicotine bead, a dog dies out from a half of it. The fatal dose of nicotine for people makes up from 50 up 100mg or 2-3 beads. The very dose goes to the blood daily after smoking out of 20-25 cigarettes (one cigarette consists of approximately 6-8mg of nicotine, 3-4 out of which go to the blood). A smoker doesnt die because this dose enters his body gradually, not in one go. Moreover, the part of nicotine is neutralized by formaldehyde, another poison included in tobacco. Such a smoker within the period of 30 years smoke out about 20000 cigarettes or 160 kg of tobacco, absorbing in average 800g of nicotine.
Regular consumption of not big quantities of nicotine that are not considered to be lethal grows into a habit, which is called addiction to smoking. In this way, nicotine is included into exchange processes of human body and becomes essential. Nevertheless, if a non-smoker receives a considerable dose of nicotine, he will die.

In England was reported a case when a forty years old man who had been smoking for a long time, during a difficult working night smoked out 14 cigars and 40 cigarettes. The next morning he fell ill and in spite of provided medical assistance he died. In the literature there was described a case when in a room, where tobacco in bunches was stocked, a girl was put to bed and in several hours she deceased.
