Smoking Kills
This is pretty self-explanatory and everyone knows that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health.

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that primarily attacks the lungs so if you are still going to smoke tobacco and can’t control it then you need to prepare for the future of what will happen to you.
