SMOKING!!!

Why do people smoke?????

• Stress relief
• For the fun/ to look cool
• To blend in with the crowd

My questions to people who smoke for the above reasons:

• Stress relief - if there stressed at the moment and resort to smoking, then in the future when they have medical problems Will they not be more stressed?
  
• For the fun/ to look cool - when smokers die at an earlier age then expected do they look cool or have fun then??
  
  
• To blend in with the crowd - would smokers blend in with the crowd when they have a smokers coughwhich Can not be ignored.

People all have their own reasons to smoke, but i don't think that people realize that what the affects of smoking are, or what they are actually smoking how it is affecting them and other people.

• 300 people die every DAY in the UK from smoking, majority young smokers.
  
• Smoking kills around 114,000 people in the UK each YEAR.
  
• Around 90% of lung cancer cases are caused by tobacco smoking, also in 2002 IARC Working Group also found out that tobacco smoking can also cause cancer in the majority of organs.

People need to realize what is in a Cigarette they contain more than 400 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances. Tar is one of the most dangerous chemicals which is inside a cigarette, tar is a sticky substance when inhaled in your lungs it sticks onto your lungs and air sacks which then prevents the oxygen to circulate in your system. The carbon monoxide inside of the cigarette reduces the amount of oxygen that you can inhale in your body.
