Wendy Christien - 21 July 2022 - The dangers of Smoking

--:--
We all know that smoking is bad for our health, yet so many people still find themselves starting a habit that is really hard to break.
The stats show that although SA’s population is smoking less, 20% of our country’s adult population is still smoking. 20% doesn’t sound like a lot necessarily, but when you think that 20% of 59 million people is still 12 million people, we have to realize that it is still a very big problem.
Wendy walks us through the effect smoking has on our overall health.
