IS SMOKING GOOD?
The consumption of any tobacco product is
harmful. Inhaling tobacco smoke exposes
users to over 7,000 toxic substances and at
least 70 carcinogens, damaging the entire
body. A regular smoker typically loses more
than a decade of life.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER
TOBACCO IN TUNISIA
Tobacco harms the health, the treasure and
the spirit of Tunisia. Every year, more than
11100 of its inhabitants are killed by diseases
caused by tobacco. Yet, more than 7000
children (10-14 years old) and 1654000 adults
(15 years old and over) continue to use
tobacco every day.r.
