A cigarette is a small cylinder of finely cut tobacco leaves rolled in thin paper for smoking. The cigarette is ignited at one end causing the cigarette to smoulder and allowing smoke to be inhaled from the other end, which is held in or to the mouth; in some cases, a cigarette holder may be used, as well.
The breathing rate, or the number of times that a person breathes in and out in 1 minute, is often checked by health care professionals to determine the health of a person. The normal breathing rate is between 12 and 18 breaths per minute.
Normal for a newborn is anywhere from 30 to 60 breaths per minute. During the first year, the respiratory rate normalizes. A child age 1 to 5 will have a respiratory rate of 20 to 30 breaths per minute.
