I hate smoking. I have lost too many friends and close relatives to the effects of tobbacco ----cancer----heart disease. It is a nasty habit which is not only dangerous....but annoying....There is little worse than sitting in the same room as someone who smokes. Their foul habit permeates the room and poisons the air.

There was a time when smoking was depicted as cool and sophisticated but today it looks cheap and ignorrant. It is ANYTHING BUT cool.

There are more than 4000 chemicals in tobacco and cigarettes. Useless chemicals invading your body. The three which causes heart problems are NICOTINE, CARBON MONOXIDE, AND TAR.

TAR has at least 30 cancer causing irritants which lodge in lung tissue and never leave.

NICOTINE causes addiction. It also causes the BLOOD PRESSURE to be higher, the heart to beat faster and the blood to become sticky which causes it to clot and increases the chance of heart attacks.

CARBON MONOXIDE reduces the oxygen in the blood so the heart gets less oxygen.

430,000 DEATHS in the United States are caused by smoking.

I had two friend who smoked and who aid by the time they got cancer tere would be a cure. Both died tragic deaths from lung cancer which spread from the lungs to the brain...One guy had it spread from the brain into his nose. Both men had young families. Both men left young grieving widows. My sister's husband died ten years ago and she is still grieving....her husbands death was PREVENTABLE. He didn't have to smoke. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE.
