What goes on inside a smoker?


22% of all male deaths and 11% of all female deaths are due to smoking. Giving up smoking can reduce the risk of developing many smoking related illnesses. Within 10-15 years of giving up, an ex-smokers' risk of developing lung cancer is only slightly greater than someone who has never smoked. No matter how scary these figures are some smokers just don't have the will power to stop.



What's in cigarette smoke?

Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, the vast majority of which are present either naturally in the tobacco and transfer into the smoke, or are formed when the tobacco is burnt.

I don't smoke. I don't see the attraction or how you can get addicted to something so gross.

Hazel nobody wants to get addicted. Most people who smoke, started to look cool or they were curious then they got addicted. The body then craves nicotine like your body would crave food or drink.

Congradulations, you dont know how to make sentences instead of one long babble.

I dont think she is trying to put them out of buisness more than warn people about the dangers of smoking. And Im sorry, but if you smoke 3 packs of ciggarettes a day, it wont kill you any time soon, but eventually, it will. How do you even afford 3 packs a day? My god. I read this in health, that if you smoke a pack of ciggarettes a day for 1 year, thats enough money for a cruise for 4 people... 1 pack a day.

To ciggarettes, Id rather keep my health, lungs, money, teeth, lack of annoyance to others, and social skills. Thanks anyway.

Calm down my child, I believe you shouldnt label people bad because they smoke, yes it is bad for you. We all know that and im sure you do aswell dude. But it doesnt kill everyone, its not hard to give up, its like you giving up chocolate or something forever.

Yes, It will kill you if you are athletic, if thats what you said in the first sentence. Thats like saying you wont ever get sick if you take a tylonal everyday, it doesnt work like that.
But even if you are athletic and it wont kill you, and if you have the money, why do it anyway?

Well it is'nt excacly good for you is it ? And you probly only do it to look cool people that smoke in this day of age or idiots and really dumb , i know my Mum smokes but she started back in the days when it was said as a good thing so thats understandable but to start now is just pathetic

And £15 pounds a day if you get 20 packs or £7.50 a day for 3 10 packs your just a twit its a waste of money and makes you look dumb and pathetic you low life

Believe it or not, secondhand smoke is more dangerous then if you are smoking it. Because when you are smoking it, the paper filters some of the bad chemicals, but when you get it straight from the smoke, it isnt filtered :( But it depends on how much you get on how unhealthy it is.

I do not like smokers. Some of my cousins from Israel smoke which I don't like but everyone there does, and also my mom used to smoke, but she was careful to not get me or my sisters involved, like she would go outside and lock the door so we couldn't get outside and stuff like that. My dad's father died of a heart attack from smoking, so my dad never smoked, and I plan to never smoke as well :D

I would dissagree, on its own breaving the 2nd hand smoking is worce yes, but the smoker also has to breath so would be getting the negative effects of second hand smoke as well as the normal effects of smoking on top of each other making it worce "/

Good to see you are making some more kids aware to it, and maybe by you taking the time in researching and doing this thread, you have saved someones life... or at least extended it.. lol ;p
