Other problems with smoking
* Your breath, clothes, hair, skin, and home smell of stale tobacco. You do not notice the smell if you smoke, but to non-smokers the smell is obvious and unpleasant.
* Your sense of taste and smell are dulled. Enjoyment of food may be reduced.
* Smoking is expensive.
* Life insurance is more expensive.
* Finding a job may be more difficult as employers know that smokers are more likely to have sick leave than non- smokers. More than 34 million working days (1% of total) are lost each year because of smoking-related sick leave.
* Potential friendships and romances may be at risk. (Smoking is not the attractive thing that cigarette advertisers portray.)
