<p>Smoke can be described as a visible suspension of carbon or other particles in air, typically one emitted from a burning substance. According to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke">wikipedia</a> "Smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass."</p>
<hr />
<p>In this present time, lots of manufacturing industries are built and are running on daily basis with high and powerful mechanical machines which produces a lot of heat and smokes into the atmosphere which is not good or ideal for any human to inhale into their body system as they are toxic.</p>
<P> Let's talk about the most common one which is Tobacco smoking.<a href="http://www.tobaccoatlas.org/topic/cigarette-use-globally/"> "About 5.8 trillion (5,800,000,000,000) cigarettes </a>were smoked worldwide in 2014, cigarette consumption is still on the rise". Most smokers today started smoking from the minimum age 17 and above and become very addicted to smoking. According to<a href="http://www.who.int/gho/tobacco/use/en/"> "World Health Organisation (WHO)</a>  "In 2015, over 1.1 billion people smoked tobacco. Far more males than females smoked tobacco. Although it is declining worldwide and in many countries, the prevalence of tobacco smoking appears to be increasing in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region and the African Region and Tobacco kills more than 7 million people each year. More than 6 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while around 890 000 are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke."

<hr />
If  the world population is estimated to have reached 7.5 billion with over 1.1 billion people smoking tobacco which courses over 7 million (approximate) people to die annually and over 5.8 trillion tobacco smoked in 2014, If this keep trending, then imaging what the next generation would face.
