A good percentage of the people today are very much aware of the dangerous effects of cigarette smoking. The distressing fact is that it is difficult for cigarette smokers to turn away from cigarettes and quit the habit of smoking. The harm that tobacco cigarette smoking does to the human body does not stop with lung cancer or bronchitis. The sad fact is that like every part of the human body, your family members as well as the various other aspects of your life are also getting hit hard due to your habit of smoking.
Sure, everyone knows about cancer of the lung and bronchitis. But very people know that tobacco cigarette smoke is the number one contributor to heart attacks in smokers. Many other types of deleterious cancers are found to be caused by smoking tobacco cigarettes. The diseases include liver cancer, bladder cancer, cancer of the larynx and throat, cancer of the mouth, tongue and easophagus, cancer of the large intestine, cancer of the bloodstream- the list goes on; it is unending. If even this does not scare you, simply read the next part also.
Cigarettes no longer consist of rolled tobacco leaves as its only ingredient as many people still think or believe. The tobacco manufacturers add some harmful ingredients in order to increase a person's addiction to tobacco and tobacco products. There are just about 4000 chemicals found in cigarette smoke of which many of them are toxic. These harmful ingredients in cigarettes affect almost every organ and the processes including the internal functioning of organs and the efficient working of the body's immunity system. The destructive effects of cigarette smoking are well known and these deleterious effects can affect your entire body from head to toe.
Apart from the deleterious effects of tobacco on your own personal health, one should also think about the stress cigarette smoking puts on your wallet. Statistics tell that someone who smokes a packet of tobacco cigarettes a day will end up spending over $700 every year on cigarettes alone. That can tantamount to an entire month's rent, two months' worth of grocery items, or the cost of a good flat screen television. One need not mention that this money could have grown nicely in the smoker's savings account.
The ill effects of cigarette smoke also make its way to those around the smoker as well. People who are exposed to second hand smoke take in about 20 % of the amount of nicotine compared to those who are active smokers. If that is the case, for every ten cigarettes you have smoked with your children around you, they would as well have smoked two and a half cigarettes themselves. Even pet animals have been found to suffer from associated health problems which are attributed to their owners' smoking habit. Many of them suffer from respiratory diseases and various kinds of cancers- gifted by their owners in the form of cigarette smoke. It is time to quit the habit and think about the lives of people around you.
