Quote" Make 2006 the year you or someone close to you quits smoking."


Consequences and facts about Smoking:-

*Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causing many diseases and reducing the health of smokers in general.

*Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long–term benefits, reducing risks for diseases caused by smoking and improving health in general.

*Smoking cigarettes with lower machine-measured yields of tar and nicotine provides no clear benefit to health.

*The list of diseases caused by smoking has been expanded to include abdominal aortic aneurysm, acute myeloid leukemia, cataract, cervical cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, pneumonia, periodontitis, and stomach cancer. These are in addition to diseases previously known to be caused by smoking, including bladder, esophageal, laryngeal, lung, oral, and throat cancers, chronic lung diseases, coronary heart and cardiovascular diseases, as well as reproductive effects and sudden infant death syndrome.


*Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. In fact, smoking tobacco is the major risk factor for lung cancer. In the United States, about 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80 percent of lung cancer deaths in women are due to smoking. People who smoke are 10 to 20 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke. The longer a person smokes and the more cigarettes smoked each day increases a person's risk for developing lung cancer.

*People who quit smoking have a lower risk of lung cancer than if they had continued to smoke, but their risk is higher than people who never smoked.
Smoke from other people's cigarettes, known as secondhand smoke, causes lung cancer as well.

*There are more than 4,000 chemicals in secondhand smoke. More than 50 of these chemicals cause cancer in people or animals. Every year, about 3,000 nonsmokers die from lung cancer due to secondhand smoke.
