No Smoking

 

Smoking is seriously bad for your heart

 

And the rest of your body. It really is one of the worst things you can do for your health, and it makes your breath stink too.

Smoking makes blood more sticky, and fat sticks to the walls of the heart’s arteries. This can lead to a heart attack

Smokers find it harder to exercise because they have less oxygen in their blood
