Smoking and what it does to your body and the world.
Smoking destroys your entire body and blood flow when you smoke. Each time you smoke your lungs and body gets weaker and weaker. Smoking accounts for 120,000 deaths each year and it is the biggest risk factor for cancer. The main reason for cancer lies in the tar in cigarettes, but there are also many more harmful chemicals in cigarettes. While smoking certain chemicals are released into your body which in turn makes your blood vessels sticky. These sticky blood vessels will not permit the blood flow circulation throughout your body. This factor causes mental stress, and in most cases death or an open artery or vessel. But smoking doesn’t just harm you it harms everyone around you too. Smoking around young children increases problems such as asthma and chest infections. Babies in an unborn fetus can come out with a birth defect or a mental problem. Cigarettes also cut people’s lives in half with each passing smoke, your life gets shorter and your children’s lives get shorter as well. If you were to put an average non smoking person against an average smoking person in a race, the non smoker will win. He will win because there is more oxygen being provided to his muscles under pressure. The smoker will lose because the circulations to his muscles are being clogged up be the sticky residue left over from the cigarettes. Smoking also destroys our planet by the carbon dioxide being released into the air. The carbon dioxide destroys our ozone layer which acts as a shield to block out the sun’s harmful rays. As our ozone shield gets destroyed the sun’s rays melt our ice caps in the North Pole. When the ice caps melt the water level rises very fast and in turn causes major catastrophes. If one stops smoking all risks gradually will reduce no matter what age you are.
