Brief Answer:
Smoking is a toxin exposure

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Smoking is generally injurious to health and just because a person may not show acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to a toxic chemical doesn't mean he/she wont suffer its consequences. Smoking is responsible for 1 in every 5 deaths in the United States, alone. Overall mortality in both male and female smokers in the United States is three times higher than that among similar people who have never smoked in their life. So the majority of persons who smokes is at a risk of developing these health conditions.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
