- People around
you may smoke for a number of reasons.
|
|
| |
|
- Young people
tend to underestimate how addictive nicotine can get.
- Peer pressure
plays a big part as well. When
we see friends smoking, we normally follow
suit, as we do not want to be called a ‘chicken’.
- We are all
exposed to tobacco advertisements
and promotions. In advertisements, tobacco users
are portrayed as glamorous, popular, independent,
adventurous, and macho. Thus, many people will
want to give it a try.

The main reason as to why chain smokers cannot stop is –
Nicotine is addictive!
And
that is also the reason why we are here to
tell you NOT to smoke.

- Of 4 billion people
today, almost 500 million will die of cigarette-related diseases,
such as heart attack and lung cancer.
- What a single puff
of the cigarette can do to you is much more than what you think.
Every puff contains over 4000 types of chemicals, which are harmful
to us. 400 of them are poisonous and 40 of them are cancer causing!
- Each year, smoking
kills more people than AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes,
murders, suicides and fires.
- Around half the
teenagers smoke regularly will eventually be killed by tobacco.
Half of these will die in middle age, 20 to 25 years of life would
be lost.

- Nicotine
in cigarettes and cigars is addictive! You cannot
quit as easily as you have taken them up!
- Nicotine
will tighten your blood vessels, which puts extra
strain on your heart. Thus, your heart will have to
work much harder than non-smokers'. This is what leads
to heart problems such as heart attacks.

- Smokers
run slower and cannot run very far which affects athletic
performance. Why waste your ability by smoking? Smoking
won’t do you any good. Trust me.
- Smokers
experience shortness of breath about 3 times more
often than non-smokers. You’re just making yourself
more miserable by smoking.

- Tobacco smoke
will make your hair and clothes smell horrible.
- EWWL!! Tobacco
will stain teeth and causes bad breath.
- Remember, cancers
in the mouth caused by tobacco can lead to serious changes
in the face. You will look haggard and listless. You will
no longer be as pretty or handsome as you used to be.

- Don’t even
try smoking, it is more addictive than you think!
- Don’t waste
your money on cigarettes, your money is better spent on
sweets, CDs, movies and clothes.
- Be who you
are and don’t be affected by others around you.
- Follow your
heart and do what you KNOW is right.
- Help yourself
and the others. You won’t want to find yourself regretting
that you smoked half your life and money away.
