Today there is not one person on the planet that does not understand the fact that smoking is a very damaging habit. We understand very clearly the issues caused by smoking, there is no question about it.  As a matter of fact in most countries the message from governments is loud and clear. Do not smoke! Sadly one of the most available and used or should I say abused substances is largely ignored by governments.

1. Eating sugar can cause various health complications like diabetes, asthma, heart diseases, inflammation and allergies.
2. Weight gain & obesity
3. Being lethargic & sleepy
4. Indigestion, constipation and stomachache
