Did you know that in the 1940s, cigarette companies actually pitched their products as being beneficial to the health, especially for soldiers who were doing group exercise in Toronto or under fire overseas? While it was true that the nicotine in them helped to calm frayed nerves, we know now that this small benefit is accompanied by a whole host of other negative health effects. You may not want to hear about them, because they're scary, but if you're a smoker you need to know.
The biggest and scariest health effect of cigarettes is cancer. Smoking coats the insides of your lungs, throat, and mouth with poisonous tar that affects your body's ability to function. Over time, chronic smokers can develop cancers of the lungs, throat, and mouth. Even people living in the residences of College Park dorms can get cancer from continually breathing in the smoke from other people's cigarettes, meaning you're not just damaging your own heath, but other people's as well.

Cancer is the scariest health effect from cigarette smoking but it's not the only one that can cause your death. Smoking cigarettes while you review your house plans can also cause accidental fires at home that can kill you. The smoke in your lungs can also give you asthma, emphysema, and COPD (Chronic Obstructed Pulmonary Disease) that can make it difficult for you to breathe. People with these conditions risk death just by playing sports and exerting themselves.
If you're pregnant you have to be extra careful about cigarette smoking, because even living in the same Markham real estate as a smoker can damage the baby's development. The baby could be born too early, be much smaller than is healthy, and could suffer from deformities and birth defects like cleft palate and will almost certainly be born with asthma, nicotine dependency, and a higher risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
Even if you're willing to ignore these very serious risks, most people are vain enough to want to look their best when going on a date or at work showing lofts. Toronto is full of healthy people with nice white teeth, fresh breath, and clean fingernails. Why would the guy or girl of your choice want to date a dirty, stinky, yellowed smoker who can barely walk down the street without having to stop and catch a breath? They wouldn't. Smoke clings to your hair, your clothes, your teeth, your fingernails, and makes it obvious that you're a smoker.
