Harmful Health Effects Of Smoking CigarettesThe harmful health effects of smoking cigarettes presented in the list below only begin to convey the long term side effects of smoking. Quitting makes sense for many reasons but simply put: smoking is bad for health.
Harmful Effects of Smoking
• Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking cigarettes - Smoking KILLS.
• One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
• Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
• The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
• This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs
amputated.
• Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
• Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
• Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
• Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain of smoking effects on the body often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
• Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
• Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
• Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
• Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
• In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.
• Cigarette smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of low birth weight, prematurity, spontaneous abortion, and perinatal mortality in humans, which has been referred to as the fetal tobacco syndrome.

I can't agree more with you. Smoking not only is bad for your own health, but it also will harm your love ones that are always by your side. Secondhand smokers are having higher risk of getting cancer too. So, do NOT even think of smoking if they love their family.
I think it would be better if you all use more pictures instead of using all words. With pictures, your scrapbook will becomes more attractive and interesting. Besides, I think you should change your background's colour because the colour you all are using is too bright and will influence the reader to read on it. It hurts the eyes.
I like your information on effects of smoking but like what jookwei said, there's alot of words and people will easily getting bored when it comes to sentences and words. Pictures would be better because sometimes a single picture can describes everything =)
Thank you for you comments, people. Actually we are still in the process of uploading some pictures.
wow,nice information.if there is more effect should be better.
for me, this title is good. because you teach people especially men about the how bad is smoking. but you should add picture or video to make sure that they really touched from your article...
I received this message from Carolina Cartons. While we wait to have the FSC laws repealed, I recommend them as an option for all smokers that refuse to smoke FSC.
