Every 6.5 seconds, someone dies from tobacco use, says the World Health Organization. Research suggests that people who start smoking in their teens (as more than 70 percent do) and continue for two decades or more will die 20 to 25 years earlier than those who never light up. It is not just lung cancer or heart disease that cause serious health problems and death. Below, some of smoking’s less publicized side effects-from head to toe.
世界衛生組織表示：每6.5秒鐘就有人死於抽菸。研究指出，如果從青少年時期就開始抽煙（百分之70以上的抽煙者如此）而且持續二十年以上，比起從未抽菸的人將減少20至25年壽命。引發健康問題與死亡並不是只有肺癌或是心血管疾病。以下是從頭至腳抽菸會產生的不良影響：
