Option B-Tobacco use increases the patient's concurrent risk of heart disease.

Several plants in the Solanaceae family genus Nicotiana go by the common name "tobacco," which is also the name for any product made from the cured leaves of these plants. N. tabacum is the most important commercial crop out of the more than 70 species of tobacco known. Some nations also employ the more powerful variety N. Rustica.

As well as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and shishas, dried tobacco leaves are mostly used for smoking. Additionally, they are available for snuff, dipping, chewing, and snus use.

Besides harmala alkaloids, tobacco also contains nicotine, a stimulant that is extremely addictive. Many fatal diseases, notably those that affect the heart, liver, and lungs, are caused by or at risk due to tobacco smoking.

zalisa [80]

Flu is primarily treated with rest and fluid intake to allow the body to fight the infection on its own. Paracetamol may help cure the symptoms but NSAIDs should be avoided. An annual vaccine can help prevent the flu and limit its complications.
