• Smoking KILLS

• Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.

• One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.

• Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.

• The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.

• This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs

• Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain put on your body by smoking often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.

• Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.

• Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.

• Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.

• Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.

• In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.

• Heart Disease and Stroke: Every time a person smokes, his/her heart rate increases temporarily due to the smoke that contains a mixture of carbon monoxide and nicotine. It results in straining the heart and blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure or hypertension. Smoking also causes fat deposition in the blood vessels and narrows them, causing heart attack and stroke. There are also cases of paralysis of feet and hands due to reduced blood supply and lack of oxygen in those parts of the body. About 30% of the deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.
  
• Cancer: Smoking can cause different types of cancer including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer. Overall, 30% cases of cancer and 87% percent of lung cancer are due to smoking. Lung cancer is caused due to the tar (a thick sticky substance) in the tobacco smoke. It is found out that male smokers have 10 times more chances of getting lung cancer, than the non-smoking male population.
