Smoking Kills:
- Statutory warnings on cigarette packs shouldn't be taken lightly.
- Smoking does kill you, slowly and over several years.
- Research studies link the harmful effects of smoking to cancer, especially of the lung, heart disease, and respiratory diseases like emphysema which slowly rot the lungs.
- Parents who smoke expose their children to risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome), respiratory diseases like asthma, and long-term behavioral and mental difficulties.
Important Facts:
- There are nearly 69 cancer-causing chemicals in the tobacco smoke.
- Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer by nearly 15 to 30 times.
- There is absolutely no safer limit of exposure to tobacco smoke and on average smokers die 13 to 14 years earlier.
- Second hand smoke, which is the tobacco smoke in an enclosed area, causes approx. 600,000 premature deaths every year.
- Smoking also doubles the risk of having a heart attack.
- Quitting to smoke at the age of 30 reduces the risk of premature death by nearly 90%.
- Quitting at the age of 50 reduces the risk of premature death by 50%.
- Quitting to smoke at 60 and above still makes a difference and enhances the chance of living longer than those who continue to smoke
