                     Frequent cigarette smoking is a deadly addiction. Adults, even teenagers smoke just for fun and for the sake of showing off. Smoking causes a variety of different diseases, both physically and mentally. Some of the common effects inflicted by smoking are Lung Cancer, Liver Cancer and Ear Infections. Though majority of smokers are aware of its effects, they still continue their habit of doing so.

            Cigarette smoking causes serious deterioration's in the body. The Liver, being responsible for cleansing the blood, is greatly affected by smoking. Harmful chemicals from cigarette smoke can poison the liver which causes Liver Cancer. Another effect of smoking is Ear Infection. This infection is particularly common among infants. Tiny particles produced by cigarette smoke are a major cause of Ear Infection. These particles encourage growth of bacteria which travels to the middle ear canal and develops as Ear Infections. Lung Cancer is also caused by excessive cigarette smoking. Mutation of growth-regulating genes by mutagenic chemicals within cigarette smoke is absorbed by the lungs when inhaled, thus causing Lung Cancer. If not stopped, these infections can cause body malfunctions and possible death.

                Persistent cigarette smoking causes a myriad of different diseases like Lung cancer, Liver Cancer and Ear Infections. These diseases damages huge proportions of our bodies internally. It can poison the inner body particularly the internal organs. Apparently this can cause improper functions of body systems and physical abnormalities. Smokers might probably remonstrate to this, but this is the truth. Life is too short to be wasted living full of remorse.
