It is alarming that the population is becoming more and more smokers every day. There are many benefits to smoking in society, such as lowering stress and anxiety, as well as drawbacks, such diabetes, cancer, and other health issues. However, I have a question. Rather of taking in oxygen in the morning, a buddy of mine smokes carbon monoxide. Upon questioning, he asserts that smoking first thing in the morning is a more beneficial way to begin the day. I'm curious as to what specifically is wrong with Somker, considering that they have half of the same traits.

Smokers will be looking ways to justify their habits but we alk know that smoking or consumption of tobacco in any form is the leading cause of cancer and many more chronic illness.

Governments also normalised it just generating huge tax revenue of these kind of products instead of creating awareness why they shouldn't consume it.

If you care about your health, stop smoking...

I would not dare to say governments have normalized the consumption of tobacco and smoking. Actually, if you look back many years, smoking used to be more socially acceptable and more widespread than it is today.
Here in my country, for example, there was a time people were allowed to smoke almost wherever they wanted: in busses, in banks (as they waited their turn in the line), in malls, and other places. It was common to see ashtrays in many establishments and businesses.
But nowadays things have changed, it was made illegal for smokers to consume their cigs inside buildings, so they are supposed to go outside for them to do so.

Also, if you check on the story books and videos on the history of tobbaco, you will find in previous decades cigarettes were even recomended as healthy or harmless for people, so their advertisement was more common all around the western countries.
Things seem to be bad when comes to smoking, but were definitely worse in previous decades. You should check it.

Cuban Cigars believed to have many health benefits and still does but look what government is doing, they don't want to stop people smoking that's why they didn't ban the cigarette smoking manufacturers, they just implemented 200% or even more tax rates on these products so if you want to smoke then pay the price.

Also we need to accept that we are not seeing the same thing that's cultivated a century before so I don't think it has any health benefits at all comparing its health complications.
