What is smoking?
smoking is inhaling a toxic mix of
more than 7,000 chemicals. Many
are poisons. When these chemicals
get deep into your body’s tissues,
they cause damage. Your body must
fight to heal the damage each time
you smoke. Over time, the damage
can lead to disease.

A smoking cigarette gives
you:



Nicotine



Carbon monoxide



Tar



Carbon



And more than 7000 dangerous
chemicals to your body


Nicotine
 Chemical in tobacco plant cells
 Addictive – affects the way the brain works
 Stimulant drug

Carbon monoxide
 Poisonous gas
 Absorbed by red blood cells
 Stops them carrying oxygen

Tar
 A mixture of chemicals
 Affects the ciliated cells
 Condenses in the lungs
 Linked to cancer
 Linked to heart disease
 Linked to circulation problems

HOW DANGEROUS?
1.


2.

Every eight seconds someone in
the world dies from a tobacco
related illness/disease.
On average, smokers die nearly
seven years earlier than
nonsmokers. Smoking is
responsible for one out of five
American deaths.

cocaine, heroin, alcohol, fire, automobile
accidents, homicides, suicides, and AIDS
combined.

that smoking cigarettes causes heart
disease, lung and esophageal cancer, and
chronic lung disease. Cigarette smoking

contributes to cancer of the bladder,
pancreas, and kidney.

Men who smoke increase their risk of
death from lung cancer by more than 22
times and from bronchitis and emphysema
by nearly 10 times.
6. Women who smoke increase their risk of
dying from lung cancer by nearly 12 times
and the risk of dying from bronchitis and
emphysema by more than 10 times

7. Smoking triples the risk of dying from
heart disease among middle-aged men and
women.

440,000 people die needlessly every
year...... because of their addiction to

cigarettes
