Smoking chronically deprives the skin of oxygen and nutrients. So some smokers appear pale, while others develop uneven coloring. There are more than 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, and many of them trigger the destruction of collagen and elastin. These are the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. Smoking or even being around secondhand smoke "degrades the building

Great information, Jerri! Smoking is a dirty, disgusting habit that only makes people look dirty and disgusting!!! I understand that smokers are physically addicted to cigarettes, but if you decide to quit the benefits are almost instantaneous!
20 minutes after you quit, your blood pressure decreases, your pulse drops and the temperature in your hands and feet has

Smoking causes one in five deaths and nine out of 10 cancer deaths according to the

Cigarettes damage the body within minutes of taking a puff, new research suggests. In a small study, scientists tracked the level of a chemical associated with cancer—one polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)—in 12 smokers and found it began damaging their DNA within 15 to 30 minutes of finishing a cigarette. The chilling thing about this research is that it shows just how early the very

I think everyone knows the health risks to smoking but NOT everyone realizes how hard it is to do. I haven't had a cigarette in 7 months (I am pregnant) and I still crave one every single day. It is something that smokers struggle with everyday for the rest of their lives even after they quit because the craving NEVER goes away completely. I know someone who quit using heroin but

Yeah that's a good point Leila. I have never smoked myself and I am very grateful for that. I wonder how to educate kids not to start smoking in the first place. Is it something only smokers can do?

Another reason why people should stop smoking is that they affect even the people who don't smoke. There are many people who die from lung cancer just because they inhale the smoke from other people's cigarettes.

That's true Maxy. By smoking, you make other people around you passive smokers. I grew up being a passive smoker because my brother and my father smoke. Fortunately they were not heavy smokers.
