smoking
Let an agent explain smoking, relay health harms, secondhand smoke, addiction and cessation from public health sources with figures attributed, describe the named forms, route people wanting to quit to support, and distinguish tobacco smoking from vaping, smokeless tobacco, cannabis use and secondhand exposure.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain smoking, relay health harms, secondhand smoke, addiction and cessation from public health sources with figures attributed, describe the named forms, route people wanting to quit to support, and distinguish tobacco smoking from vaping, smokeless tobacco, cannabis use and secondhand exposure.
The practice of inhaling smoke from burning material, most commonly tobacco in cigarettes, cigars or pipes, but also cannabis and other substances, and by extension exposure to that smoke; forms the registry aliases name include cannabis smoking, passive or secondhand smoking, maternal smoking in pregnancy, women and smoking as a topic, and smirting, socialising while smoking outdoors. Tobacco smoking is a leading preventable cause of death, causing cancers, heart and lung disease, and secondhand smoke harms others, while stopping smoking greatly reduces risk, and support and treatments are available. Cannabis smoking also carries health risks, and its legal status varies, with positions attributed.
What it is for: Not applicable; a health-harming practice, described for prevention.
It can be explain health harms; relay secondhand smoke and addiction; describe named forms; route cessation support.
