Tobacco and nicotine 

Smoking and using snus lead to poorer physical fitness and increase the risk of a wide range of diseases and negative health effects. It can also increase the risk of developing other addictions. If you stop using tobacco, the harmful effects begin to decrease from the very first day. You will become healthier, feel less stressed, and your physical fitness will soon improve. 

Did you know that tobacco production is also harmful to the environment? It requires large resources and leads to water shortages, deforestation, and climate change. People working in tobacco production suffer poor health due to the toxins in the tobacco and are easily injured because of inadequate safety equipment.

When you feel an urge to smoke or use snus, it is partly due to nicotine addiction and partly due to your habits and the situations you associate with tobacco use. Habits and learned behaviors mean that cravings increase in certain situations or at specific moments. When you quit smoking or using snus, you will experience withdrawal symptoms, but these usually subside after a few weeks. Breaking the habit and behavior can take longer and may require extra motivation and support.
