Smoking and it's effects!

Imagine that you are at movies and your favorite hero or herione is on the screen looking realy cool and doing all sorts of amazingly athletic moves..... and then you see him/her lighting up a cigarette! How cool is that?

That was just a movie.. in reality:

1. A smoker wouldn't have the breath to do "athletic moves".

2.A smoker would smell like an ashtray, not too many gorgeous girls or guys would want to be close to that.

3.A smoker would not have great skin and hair.

The truth is that the actor and actress who do their own stunts do not smoke. If they do then they need other people to do their stunts and they probably use lots of perfume and plastic surgery to look attractive.

Smoking and its effects

1. The senses of smell and taste are affected. Smokers can't smell what they smell to others, and their taste buds don't work so well, so they can't enjoy food properly.

2. Smokers are ten times more likely to get heart disease, lung disease, major heart attack or stroke.
They are also more likely to develop diabetes.

3. Smoking is the most common cause of cancers of the lungs, throat and mouth.

4. Smokers can also have problems with narrowing of the veins in hands and feet, so blood circulation is poor. This can lead to gangrene and having to have limbs amputated.

5. Passive smoking - that is, breathing in other people's smoke rather than actually smoking yourself - can cause health problems.

Giving up Smoking

1. If you have decided that smoking is definitely something you don't want to start, good!.

2. If you are a smoker already and want to bo break the habit, we are very proud of you for being a strong and commited person. We suggest that you research and find the best way to quit permanently.
