Introduction
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans, it is
the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical,
mental or social challenges.
Achieving and maintaining health is an ongoing process, shaped by both the evolution
of health care knowledge and practices as well as personal strategies and organized
interventions for staying healthy known as Lifestyle Management. Those of us who
participate in regular physical activity do so partly to improve the current and future level of
our health. We strive toward an optimal state of well-being. As our lifestyle improves, our
health also improves and we experience less disease and sickness.
Some people don't understand how much our health is important, they realize it when it is too
late, when they get sick and when there is no way back.

Why smoking is harmful ?

We all know that smoking of cigarettes and tobacco in general is bad for our health. However
there is a question why is it harmful ? Majority will simply answer ''Because of nicotine.''. But
that is not correct. Nicotine makes us calm, but creates addiction as well. However nicotine
for itself is not dangerous in small doses for our organism and it will fight it and neutralize it.
In small doses it is brain stimulus. But only in large doses, which you won't find in cigarettes,
it becomes poisonous.
The truth of harmfulness lies in 4000 other ingredients created by the combustion of tobacco.
So tobacco smoke contains 4000 ingredients of wich 400 are toxic and about 43 carcinogenic.
Those are: tar, carbon monoxide, arsenic, acetone, ammonia, benzene, cadmium, hydrazine,
nickel, phenol, polonium and others.
When you inhale tobacco smoke into your lungs all of those ingredients are deposited inside
the lungs, they also enter into your bloodstream and spread all over the body. Human
organism has its immune system wich tends to fight every intruder, including against
constituents of tobacco smoke. Immune system cells constantly clean the lungs and the whole
body of these ingredients. However the problem is this way exhausts the immune system,
immune cells are constantly consumed. Over time, the immune system is weaker, and the
body becomes more vulnerable to various diseases. In the extreme case, the immune system
has no more strength to fight against harmful substances and may incur cancer and death.
About 5,4 million people die around the world of smoking consequences.

buckthorn in Asia, it is chokeberry in North America.
It is usually found in forests and swamps, and since the forties of the last century chokeberry
