That's the worst thing you can do since early in the morning your body craves oxygen and the best thing you can literally do is to run a bit, ride a bicycle, walk a dog if you have one, just go outside and get some fresh air along with a light workout, then get back and drink a cup coffee that will get blood pumping through your lungs. Smoking in the morning when your body is trying to wake up and stretch is suffocating your cells. In some countries smoking is in the decline, while in others it's on the rise.

If you are an active smoker when you don't have cigarettes, you will lack passion in life, so sometimes you can do whatever you want as long as you have money to buy cigarettes. Cigarettes also come in various brands and the prices vary, someone who has a lot of money will definitely buy cigarettes at an expensive price and on the contrary, it is nothing but a lifestyle nowadays, the State can only promote it but cannot ban it because the source of income from cigarettes is for taxes. highest country.
