It is about weight loss. So, if you’re one of those people trying to lose a few pounds gained during the year-end holidays, be careful to distinguish between “intended” weight loss and “unintended” weight loss.

As Health Insurance points out on its website, smoking, even a little, significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer. It is responsible for eight out of 10 cancers. So we should avoid all forms of tobacco (cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, hookahs etc) as far as possible as well as cannabis, which is also carcinogenic. Nicotine replacement treatments (chewing gum, patches, etc.) are used as first-line treatment for smoking cessation. Drug treatment may also be prescribed to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduce the urge to smoke, and prevent relapse.
