🚭 Smoking Doesn't Just Harm Your Lungs – It Weakens Your Bones Too!

Tobacco Can:
❌ Reduce bone density, leading to osteoporosis
❌ Increase the risk of fractures
❌ Delay fracture healing after injuries
❌ Slow recovery after orthopaedic surgeries
❌ Increase the risk of implant failure and non-union
❌ Cause chronic back pain and joint problems
