Why is tobacco bad for kids?
Tobacco isn't just bad for young adults, it is bad for EVERYONE. Tobacco is bad for many reasons, but a major reason is that it contains nicotine. Nicotine is the major factor in causing addiction. Young adults are more likely to become addicted to it than older adults. This addiction is very hard to get over, and can lead to economic problems when the addicted person has to continue buying these products as the prices rise. Additionally, Nicotine limits blood flow. Poor blood flow causes fingers and toes to have poor circulation and get very cold. Poor blood flow to... other extremities... almost always leads to ED in men.
