Smoking in Public -Health V.S. Rights

Research

Smoking is known as the most addictive and destructive over-the-counter drug. It started about during the World War 1.

Many people find it takes several tries to get started smoking. On the first time, smokers often feel pain or burning in the throat and lungs, and some feel sick or even throw up the first few times when they try tobacco, but later on they will get used to it.

Smoking is a hard habit to cut because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like some addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine.
