Take it from me, smoking negatively effects your life Smoking causes your lungs to be coated in a black tar. It causes your lungs to shrink in capacity to hold air. Smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Smoking costs an average of $130.00 a month to keep up with the habit! I have spent many years fighting lung cancer and recommend you don’t start smoking.
