The cigarettes effects on heavy smokers are there for all to witness. For example, how many heavy smokers over 30 do you know that don’t cough and spit above what is considered normal?  This is the body’s way of telling you to get that crap out because it’s doing more harm than good and playing a major role in damaging the natural function of the throat and lungs.  Of course, this is nothing less than the mild symptoms of a heavy smoker, those that are obvious and can be seen and felt. But the real damage and potential arm in a heavy smoker is latent.  It works away quietly yet relentlessly at disrupting the inner workings of the body, hence the number of unnecessary smoking related diseases and deaths in the world. Oh, and you don’t have to be old and frail to die of smoking related causes either, as the drug nicotine has no boundaries!
