Smoking causes many problems. My grandmother smoked for sixty years, and I saw her last days on earth. She had Emphysema and Asthma. She died in September 2003. My mom smoked for about forty to forty-five years before finally quitting because of other health problems.

Smoking cigarettes, pipes, cigars, and even chewing tobacco can cause many conditions, from lung cancer to heart disease, throat cancer, mouth cancer, plaque in your heart and arteries, raise your blood pressure, cause wrinkles, gives you bad breath, causes your clothes to smell, gives you blood-shot eyes with a tint of yellow in them, turns your finger nails yellow. The list goes on and on. For some, the symptoms of smoking are different, while others, one person I knew in particular smoked for seventy years, his doctor told him to quit, he did, he became terribly ill, went back to smoking, and his illness went away. Unbelievable, perhaps so, then again, it's still something you don't want to begin. My tech education teacher in middle school chewed tobacoo for forty some years, he didn't come into school one day and we later learned that he was going to be out for a leave of absence because he had mouth cancer. His entire mouth had caved in from weakened gums and bones. His entire jaw had to be repaired and hinged together again with bones from corpses.

Many relatives of mine have smoked and have since quit, thank God. But, that still doesn't mean that they might not show signs of diseases or considtions later on in their lives. Younger people who start, think the same thing all the time, "nothing will happen to me. I won't get cancer, I can stop whenever I want to. I won't age likethose other people do." Little do they realize that once nicotine gets into your blood stream you become dependant on it. It is as simple as that. People who quit smoking, usually women this falls under, have a difficult time more so, they tend to become heavy and put on quite a bit of weight.

One thing that is for certain, and medical doctors will speak alike on this, smoking causes your hunger to decrease, therefore the nicotine is replacing your hunger craving with the input of more and more in your system. You will notice that teens who smoke or those in their twenties are thinner than normal. No, they weren't blessed with being this thin from the start, they started smoking from a young age and therefore have in essence replaced their nutrition with nicotine instead. I know of one such person who happens to be a client of mine, he started smoking right after he moved from Massachusetts, he's 19 yrs. old. He's probably been smoking now for roughly two to three years. He eats nothing, sleeps all day, doesn't talk.

You wouldn't believe at how smoking can affect everything about you in your day to day activities, from eating to speaking to mood swings. The best case scenario, don't start. If you already have, it's not too late, quit while you still can.

Good luck to you. J.F.

Yeah, so cancer if you do, cancer if ya dont.

It might do in later life
It is bad for your lungs, and all your internal organs.
You will look older than what you are, if you smoke a lifetime.
Smoking kills

Passive smoking is actually more dangerous than lighting up yourself.

Bigger risk of lung cancer and other very serious conditions, dont do it.


NutstersChick
Yes.
The list of diseases & health problems, grows.
Passive smoking causes damage 2 others, it is quite frankly, selfish & dumb!


amber_xx66
yes it most certainly does,even though i'am a smoker and have no intention of giving up,but if are thinking about smoking please DON'T as you will regret for the rest of your life if you get hooked on them,i'am aware that this sounds stupid as i still smoke but i have my reasons,but i had my left leg amputated in 04 all due to smoking,i was shocked to say the least,as i had never heard of this before but it is a fact,both sides of My family were heavy smokers and never lost a limb,so it must be the luck of the draw

Of course it causes problems---cancers of all sorts, makes you look old and ugly, emphysema, bronchitis, addiction, the list goes on.

Passive smoking

Yes it is harmful.

Any smoking is bad for you no matter how it is done.

I would just like to say that I dont know where that guy has been who says it is proven not to harm you. As I work in a cancer hospital, I can 100% confidently say that passive smoking is bad. If you dont believe me, go and ask all the cancer patients, whom are dying due to the ignorance of that guy.

Read the cigarette packets

Of course it does. It is liken to playing Russian Roulette my friend.

OFF CAUSE IT DOES!

As a child I had constant ear & throat infections.

Both my parents were smokers along with most of my adult family.

I had my tonsils removed when I was 5 but still continued to get chest & throat infections.

Relief however came when I married at the age of 22 to a none smoker and unless I am exposed to smoke or worse still people smelling of smoke I remain very well indeed. A horrible habit, I no longer have my mum & dad or any of the smokers in my family they all died young, to young!
