Why? because if it did not contain a substance nearly as addictive as heroin (being nicotine of course) nobody in their right mind would be intentionally inhaling SMOKE 20-30 times a day. I smoked for about 11 years, I never was in as much pain as the 3 months after I quit smoking and started exercising... My lung function, after quitting 3 times (and btw, quitting for 1 month or more is MUCH worse than never quitting at all) is estimated at 30% below normal.
That means that because I smoked for 11 years I can NEVER EVER retain full lung fuction, parts of my lungs have been rendered completely useless... I would call that injurious to my health ;-)

Smoking is one of the worst things kids or adults can do to their bodies. Yet every single day nearly 4,400 kids between the ages 12 and 17 start smoking. Why? There's more than just one simple answer. Some kids may start smoking just because they're curious. Others may like the idea of doing something dangerous - something grown-ups don't want them to do. Still others might have grown up around lots of people who smoke and they might think it's the way to act like an adult.
You've probably heard that smoking and tobacco use can cause cancer and heart disease. That's true, but sometimes kids can't really think that far into the future to worry about an illness they might not get for 20 years. So let's talk about the problems that might affect kids more quickly:
