A member asked:

Are there effects of smoking physically, mentally and socially? what are they?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Terrible: Suckers of big tobacco's vicious ad campaigns become enslaved to a disgusting vice that makes it harder to get / keep a job, dismays friends, and ruins the lungs / exercise tolerance in middle age even in people fortunate enough to escape cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Just don't start.
