Cigarette smoking, nutrition and health

Abstract

Smoking is the most common form of addiction in the UK. Figures from the General Household Survey for 1980 show that more than seventeen million people, 42% of males and 37% of females over the age of 16, are regular smokers. The health hazards associated with smoking are well established, but they go far beyond the lung cancer and cardiovascular disease story.
