Smoking is harmful to health

2. Have You Ever
Wondered What's In a
Cigarette?
 Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing
(carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon
monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT.
 Nicotine is highly addictive. Smoke containing nicotine is inhaled into the lungs, and the
nicotine reaches your brain in just six seconds.
 While not as serious as heroin addiction, addiction to nicotine also poses very serious
health risks in the long run.
 Nicotine in small doses acts as a stimulant to the brain. In large doses, it's a
depressant, inhibiting the flow of signals between nerve cells. In even larger doses, it's
a lethal poison, affecting the heart, blood vessels, and hormones. Nicotine in the
bloodstream acts to make the smoker feel calm.
 As a cigarette is smoked, the amount of tar inhaled into the lungs increases, and the
last puff contains more than twice as much tar as the first puff. Carbon monoxide
makes it harder for red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. Tar is a
mixture of substances that together form a sticky mass in the lungs.
 Most of the chemicals inhaled in cigarette smoke stay in the lungs. The more you
inhale, the better it feels—and the greater the damage to your lungs. You can ask
anyone working on bachelors degree in any medical field and they will be able to tell
you what damage
smoking does to the lungs.

4. Cigarette Maker Now Lists
Ingredients
 For the first time, an American tobacco company has begun listing long-secret ingredients
contained in its cigarettes directly on the label. Yesterday, Liggett Group Inc. introduced
cartons that the company plans to begin using that list the ingredients in its L&M cigarettes,
including molasses, phenylacetic acid and the oil of the East Indian mint called patchouli.
The move comes as the state of Massachusetts is trying to compel disclosure of all
ingredients by all cigarette makers, an effort that other major tobacco companies are
fighting.
 Liggett, which broke with the industry by signing the first settlements ever with states and private
attorneys suing it, supports the Massachusetts effort as well. "Liggett believes that its adult consumers
have a right to full disclosure," Liggett head Bennett S. LeBow said in a statement. Along with blended
tobacco and water, the 26-item L&M list includes high fructose corn syrup, sugar, natural and artificial
licorice flavor, menthol, artificial milk chocolate and natural chocolate flavor, valerian root extract,
molasses and vanilla extracts, and cedarwood oil. Less familiar additives include glycerol, propylene
glycol, isovaleric acid, hexanoic acid and 3-methylpentanoic acid.
 Some 600 ingredients are used in American cigarettes, but a Liggett spokesman said the L&M
statement was a "quite exhaustive list" of every ingredient used in that brand.
 Ingredients in tobacco products have never been proved harmful -- especially when compared with the
many toxins found in tobacco smoke itself. But activists have long pushed for disclosure of the
ingredients, in part because consumers tend to be more wary of risks imposed upon them by others
than of the risks they knowingly choose.
 The companies have provided lists of ingredients to the federal Department of Health and Human
Services for more than a decade, but government officials are legally not allowed to release the
information. The industry also presented a composite list of 599 additives to congressional investigators
in 1994, but that was never officially made public.

5. Cigarettes and filter
 Cigarette flavors have gone through many changes since cigarettes were first made. Initially, cigarettes were
unfiltered, allowing the full "flavor" of the tar to come through. As the public became concerned about the health
effects of smoking, filters were added. While this helped alleviate the public's fears, the result was a cigarette that
tasted too bitter.
 Filters Don't Work
Filters do not remove enough tar to make cigarettes less dangerous. They are just a marketing ploy to trick you
into thinking you are smoking a safer cigarette.
 The solution to the bitter-tasting cigarette was easy -- have some chemists add taste-improving chemicals to the
tobacco. Unfortunately, some of these chemicals also cause cancer.
 But not all of the chemicals in your cigarettes are there for taste enhancement. For example, a chemical very
similar to rocket fuel helps keep the tip of the cigarette burning at an extremely hot temperature. This allows the
nicotine in tobacco to turn into a vapor so your lungs can absorb it more easily.
 Toilet Bowl Cleaner?
Most people prefer to use ammonia for things such as cleaning windows and toilet bowls. You may be surprised to
learn that the tobacco industry has found some additional uses for this household product. By adding ammonia to
your cigarettes, nicotine in its vapor form can be absorbed through your lungs more quickly. This, in turn, means
your brain can get a higher dose of nicotine with each puff.
 The complete list of chemicals added to your cigarettes is too long to list here. Here are some examples that will
surprise you:
 Fungicides and pesticides -- Cause many types of cancers and birth defects.
 Cadmium -- Linked to lung and prostate cancer.
 Benzene -- Linked to leukemia.
 Formaldehyde -- Linked to lung cancer.
 Nickel -- Causes increased susceptibility to lung infections.
 If you are angry that so many things have been added to the cigarettes you enjoy so much, you should be. Many
of these chemicals were added to make you better able to tolerate toxic amounts of cigarette smoke. They were
added without regard to your health and with the intent to keep you addicted. As the tobacco industry saying
goes, "An addicted customer is a customer for life, no matter how short that life is.

enough to make you want to
quit smoking for good!
 There are more than 4,000 ingredients in a
cigarette other than tobacco. Common
additives include yeast, wine, caffeine,
beeswax and chocolate. Here are some other
ingredients:
 Ammonia: Household cleaner
Angelica root extract: Known to cause cancer
in animals

 For those who still don't know — let me emphatically state that cigarette smoking is a
true addiction! To grasp this well-documented fact, one really doesn't have to study all
the supporting scientific evidence. One simply needs to consider that no other drug is
self-administered with the persistence, regularity and frequency of a cigarette. At an
average rate of ten puffs per cigarette, a one to three pack-a-day smoker inhales
70,000 to 200,000 individual doses of mainstream smoke during a single year. Ever
since its large scale industrial production early in this century, the popularity of the
modern cigarette has been spreading like wildfire. Here is the first, and perhaps the
most significant answer to the title question: Addiction is in a cigarette.
 Probing into what makes a cigarette so irresistible, we find that much of the recent
research corroborates earlier claims: It is for the nicotine in tobacco that the smoker
smokes, the chewer chews, and the dipper dips. Hence, nicotine is in a cigarette.
 In contrast to other drugs, nicotine delivery from tobacco carries an ominous burden of
chemical poisons and cancer-producing substances that boggle the mind. Many toxic
agents are in a cigarette. However, additional toxicants are manufactured during the
smoking process by the chemical reactions occurring in the glowing tip of the cigarette.
The number is staggering: more than 4,000 hazardous compounds are present in the
smoke that smokers draw into their lungs and which escapes into the environment
between puffs.

Hence, disease is in a cigarette. Hence, disease is in a cigarette.

10.  Among the worst offenders are the nitrosamines. Strictly regulated by federal agencies,
their concentrations in beer, bacon, and baby bottle nipples must not exceed 5 to 10
parts per billion. A typical person ingests about one microgram a day, while the
smokers' intake tops this by 17 times for each pack of cigarette smoked. In 1976, a
rocket fuel manufacturer in the Baltimore area was emitting dimethylnitrosamine into
the surrounding air, exposing the local inhabitants to an estimated 14 micrograms of
the carcinogen per day. The plant was promptly shut down. However eagerly the
government tries to protect us from outdoor pollution and the carcinogenic risk of
consumer products, it blatantly suspends control if the offending chemical is in, or
comes from, a cigarette. Hence, hypocrisy is in a cigarette.
 But there is still more in a cigarette than addiction, poison, pollution, disease, and
hypocrisy. A half century of aggressive promotion and sophisticated advertising that
featured alluring role models from theater, film and sport, has invested the cigarette
with an enticing imagery.
 Imagery which captivates and seduces a growing youngster. The youngster,
indispensable for being recruited into the future army of smokers, does not start to
smoke cigarettes for the nicotine, but for the false promises they hold. Hence, deceit is
in a cigarette. In summary, no drug ever ingested by humans can rival the long-term
debilitating effects of tobacco; the carnage perpetuated by its purveyors; the merciless
irreversibility of destiny once the victim contracts lung cancer or emphysema; the
militant denial on the part of those who, with the support of stockholders and the
sanction of governments, legally push their lethal merchandise across borders and
continents killing every year two and one-half to three million people worldwide. All
things added together: death is in a cigarette

11. Diseases Caused By Smoking Cigarette
 There are many diseases that  7 Danger Signs & Symptoms Of C
are associated with smoking  The following are signs and
which include but are not symptoms seen in people
limited to: with cancer:
 - Atherosclerosis  - Unusual bleeding or
 - Hypertension discharge
 - Vascular Disease  - A lump or thickening in the
 - Stroke breast
 - Tongue Cancer  - A sore throat that does not
 - Impotence heal
 - Change in bowel or bladder
habits
 - Persistant hoarsness or
cough
 - Persistant indigestion or
difficulty swallowing.
 - Change in a mole or wart

12. Diseases Caused by Smoking
 Diseases aren't caused directly by smoking, but
smoking increases the risk for diseases. Smoking
makes it much more likely that you will get the
disease. If you smoke, you are 22 times more likely
to be at risk for lung cancer. Emphysema is very
strongly associated with smoking. Other cancers, such
as of the pancreas, kidney, and bladder, are more
common in smokers. Smoking makes it 2 to 4 times
more likely you will get heart disease, and twice as
likely you will have a stroke. The likelihood of
developing gum disease, osteoporosis, and asthma
attacks is also higher in smokers. And those are just
some of the diseases associated with smoking.

13. What else happens when you
smoke?
 Another thing that happens when you smoke is that your blood pressure rises by about 10 to 15 percent. High
blood pressure means you have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Smoking not only affects the
pressure, but it also damages the blood itself. As we mentioned before, when you smoke, carbon monoxide (CO)
is created and ingested – so much that smokers have about 4 to 15 times the amount of CO in the body than non-
smokers. Carbon monoxide also is the same stuff that comes out of your car’s tailpipe. When you smoke, it stays
in your bloodstream for about six hours. This harmful chemical compound does its best to rob every cell in your
body of oxygen, something cells need to function.
 Most smokers know the damage they’re causing to their lungs, heart, blood vessels, and senses of taste and
smell. Something many smokers may overlook is the damage being done to their skin. While many of smoking’s
negative effects are reversible once you quit, there’s no way to undo the skin damage. The blood vessels in the
skin constrict when you light up, limiting the amount of oxygen the skin gets. The intrusion of CO puts further
limits on the oxygen the skin needs. What does this mean? Wrinkles. “Smoker’s face” is a condition long-term
smokers suffer from. What does it look like? Deep, dark lines around the eyes and the corners of the mouth, for
starters. The skin may also appear gray in color, and facial features may appear gaunt. Not a pretty sight. One
study shows that nearly half of all smokers get smoker’s face.
 So besides wreaking havoc on your insides, cigarettes also ages you prematurely. If this isn’t enough to inspire
you to put down the pack, think about your sex life. Research conducted by Boston University’s medical school has
shown that when men smoke, it can lead to erection problems. Among the 1,011 men studied that had erectile
dysfunction, 78 percent were smokers. The study found that the amount of blood flowing to the penis was directly
proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked. Smoking also lowers sperm count and can even alter the shape
of the little guys. So if you’re looking to have kids, you may want to think about quitting. Women don’t get a free
pass in this department either. Ladies who smoke heavily show a 43 percent decline in fertility and reach
menopause nearly two years earlier, decreasing their reproductive years.
 So how does the body digest a cigarette? It really doesn’t. There’s the exhale, but that’s simply because the body
can’t completely absorb every bit of smoke from the inhale. The harmful chemicals in cigarettes tear through
every cell of your body like looters in a riot. The smoke affects the blood, skin, lungs, heart, your senses of taste
and smell, and anything else it comes into contact with. Kicking the habit is a tough task, but it’s one that’s well
worth the effort. You may not be able to reverse the effects of premature wrinkling, but you can help out the rest
of your body. As soon as you stop, your body goes into fix-it mode. Your cilia wake up and start sweeping again,
and your taste buds fight through the tar. Oxygen is again delivered in full supply to your heart and the rest of
your body. The days turn into weeks and months and eventually years and before you know it, you may feel like
you never lit up in the first place.

done it hundreds of times!
 How many times have you made that comment? You and millions of others
have probably laughed that away on hundreds of different occasions.
Unfortunately, long after the false joviality, the addiction remains.
 The truth is, there is no "pat" answer to this epidemic problem. The
reasons for starting the habit are as wide and diversified as the people who
smoke. It stands to reason, therefore, that the reasons to quit are equally
diverse.
 That is why there is no finite, one size fits all cure! What works for one
person may not for another. There are even methods that you probably
have never heard of. I hadn't, until I read "Freedom From Smoking!"
 What makes this guide different from so many of the "self-help" programs
out there, is that Patricia covers all the symptoms and the
methodologies for treatment, and she does so in a totally un-biased, non-
judgmental manner.
 Rather than the normal clinical "harangue," her information is clear, concise
and understandable. She explores in depth, each of the many treatments
that are available, providing the pros, cons and warnings associated with
each one of them.
 You will be amazed to discover so many diverse treatment options.
