In the US, smoking kills around 438,000 people in the United States and around 114,000 people in the UK each year.
Lung Cancer, Coronary Heart Disease, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and stroke are among the choice deaths - all are possible prizes in the Smoking Lottery.
Bad breath, yellow teeth, ageing skin, and a reduced sperm count are also accepted by smokers.
Cigarettes are highly addictive and although the body is being invaded and undermined, the smoker gets a 'high' which they are reluctant to lose, no matter how unwell they feel.
The real difficulty behind smoking is not the cravings, which will disappear, but the habit, now ingrained. To learn how to defeat this habit, and to give yourself a real chance to quit, see Helping You to Stop Smoking and give your body a break!
