Smoking Smoking Smoking

Today, I'm goin to discuss the negative health impact of smoking (tobacco). Research has shown that smoking is detrimental to health and is the cause of a number of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Individuals who smoke have up to a 4x's higher risk for coronary heart disease and stroke.

In addition, individuals who smoke also are in a 23 times higher risk of developing lung cancer than individuals who do not smoke. Other health effects from smoking include infertility, stillbirth, low birth weight, and SIDs.

Lastly, I would like everyone to follow the link that will be at the end of this post. The link will take you to a website which lists all 599 ingredients that are in each cigarette. If you happen to smoke, this list may be a wake up call.

    I agree. BTW, I have not had a real cigarette
    for four months now thanks to using e cigarettes. I am now an supporter of these electric
    cigarettes. I tell everybody I meet to just Google 'electronic cigarette UK' to see how well established this
    industry is, and how huge the range is for these fantastic products are.


    What really gets my goat, though, are the growing number of articles in the major press
    saying how dreadful they are. Apparently pharmaceutical companies - the makers of quit smoking helpers are supporting an anti-evape campaign
    - less so the cigarette companies (as one might suspect)
    as these are investing in them. I can FEEL the heath
    gains of e cigarettes.

    Just saying - that there is always a hidden agenda with these self interested faceless types trying to ban
    electronic cigarettes ... our country's politicians could do a lot more to support them. It makes me so depressed.
