Smoking is a chronic and addictive disease. It is considered a disease because it affects the health of the person who smokes; chronic because it develops over a long period of time which includes periods of relapse; and addictive because, to stop the habit, you have to overcome a strong barrier: the addiction to nicotine. But quitting smoking is possible and represents an improvement in the quality of life.
