Tobacco addiction is a form of poisoning, a drug addiction due to tobacco abuse. Tobacco addiction touches both the actual smoker but also his or her entourage, because it creates passive tobacco addiction, which for a non smoker consists in involuntarily inhaling someone else's tobacco smoke. Tobacco addiction consists in excessive tobacco consumption, in the form of cigarettes, cigars or pipes. Tobacco addiction touches more than 1.1 billion people in the world and is responsible for numerous pathologies that can lead to death (cancers, cardiovascular accidents, respiratory problems…).
The European HELP programme for fighting against tobacco can bring you a lot of information and support for giving up smoking.
