Through this scientific paper, we are trying to clarify an important problem related to a debilitating social scourge of human health, namely smoking in all its forms and the role of exercise in quitting this scourge, by adopting a scientific strategy to reduce this scourge by involving active elements such as the family, because it represents the basic reference for the values of the individual and the control of his standards.
