"If Smoking is harmful, then why do we Smoke?"

Now a days Cigarettes are very common al-over the world. In colleges, school, offices  every-where it’s very common. People usually smoke cigarettes and don’t know what it’s contain. Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances.

Most of people don’t know what happens when inhaling cigarette. When you inhale, a cigarette burns at 700°C at the tip and around 60°C in the core. This heat breaks down the tobacco to produce various toxins.

There are a lot of diseases and most people knows and most of not. Smoking can cause lung cancer, but it can also cause many other cancers and illnesses The products that are most damaging are: (1) Tar, a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer) (2) Nicotine is addictive and increases cholesterol levels in your body (3) Carbon monoxide reduces oxygen in the body (4) Components of the gas and particulate phases cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). Above the list, such things people don’t know but they do smoking and spending their life happily.

These are the few diseases with which smoker dies. Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death due to smoking. Hardening of the arteries is a process that develops over years, when cholesterol and other fats deposit in the arteries, leaving them narrow, blocked or rigid. Smokers are more likely to get cancer than non-smokers. This is particularly true of lung cancer, throat cancer and mouth cancer, which hardly ever affect non-smokers.

See around 6 million deaths are caused by Smoking Tobacco in a year. An estimated 1.3 Billion people are smokers worldwide. Smokers die on average 15 years sooner than nonsmokers. Tobacco use will kill 1 billion people in the 21st century if current smoking trends continue.

By smoking people are killing themselves by their own habit, and they know that what problems they have to face in future. It’s a saying that "it’s easy to wake them who are sleeping instead of them who are awake". Wake up guys and quit your smoking.
