(Pls. pass, read and share and SAVE MORE LIVES...)


The effects of smoking on human health are serious and in many cases, deadly. There are approximately 4000 chemicals in cigarettes, hundreds of which are toxic. The ingredients in cigarettes affect everything from the internal functioning of organs to the efficiency of the body's immune system. The effects of cigarette smoking are destructive and widespread.


Smoking Effects on the Human Body


Toxic ingredients in cigarette smoke travel throughout the body, causing damage in several different ways.


Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body and in breast milk.


Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing affected cells from carrying a full load of oxygen.


Cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) in tobacco smoke damage important genes that control the growth of cells, causing them to grow abnormally or to reproduce too rapidly.


The carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene binds to cells in the airways and major organs of smokers.


Smoking affects the function of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections.


There are several likely ways that cigarette smoke does its damage. One is oxidative stress that mutates DNA, promotes atherosclerosis, and leads to chronic lung injury. Oxidative stress is thought to be the general mechanism behind the aging process, contributing to the development of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and COPD.


The body produces antioxidants to help repair damaged cells. Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than do nonsmokers.


Smoking is associated with higher levels of chronic inflammation, another damaging process that may result in oxidative stress.

A smoker was smoking at the airport,
A gentleman came and ask him:
How much do you smoke a day?
Smoker: Why?
Gentleman: If you had collected the money instead of smoking, the plane which is infront of you
would have been yours!
Smoker: Do you Smoke?
Gentleman: No!
Smoke: Do own any plane?
Gentleman: I don't own any plane...

Smoker: Thanks for your advice but the plane infront is Mine...

ma-apil na ang Sin tax ana, TS. And it won't increase substantially, not as long as the tobacco companies pay their lobbyists a nice amount of money.
