Avoiding the dangers of smoking cigarettes is critical to your survival in this day and age. Here are some well established but shocking smoking statistics, that i came across in some magazine i was reading, about the know hazards of smoking:
There are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke, including 43 known cancer causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins.
The soot, tar, gases, in cigarette smoke harm your body over a period of time.
Smoking accounts for more than 30% of all deaths from cancer and almost 90 % if deaths from lung cancer.
About 75% of deaths from chronic bronchitis and emphysema are attributed to smoking.
There is no doubt that smoking is a global health problem. But the surveys have proved that smokers are not ignorant to the injurious effects of their habit, yet they cannot overcome their addiction.
The US Environmental Protection Agency has classified environmental tobacco smoke as a Class A carcinogen along with asbestos, arsenic, benzene and radon gas.
So, still think smoking is cool?
