3. Cancer: Smoking is a leading cause of many cancers, including lung, mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, and cervix cancer.
4. Reproductive Health: In women, it can cause infertility, premature birth, and low birth weight babies. In men, it can lead to erectile dysfunction.
5. Other Effects: Smoking also negatively impacts skin health (premature aging), oral health (gum disease, tooth loss), and the immune system.
