Dangers of Cigarettes...



Cigarettes are a well known drug around the world. There are number of excuses as to why people smoke them. "They help me relieve my stress. They relax my nerves. Everyone else is doing it." There are hundreds of reasons why people smoke. But when smokers health start failing or their lungs collapse nobody seems to know the reason except for the doctors. Cigarettes are cancer in stick form. They contain ammonia which is used in toilet cleaners. They also contain tar which is used in construction. Tar goes into the lungs and clogs the air ways which cause shortness of breathe and lung failure. It contains nicotine which is a drug used to stimulate the nerves and is also very addictive.
Some smokers think well I will just smoke the LIGHT brand of the cigarettes but what they dont realize is that even though the cigarette has lighter amounts of the harmful ingredients the smoker tends to suck harder onto the cigarette which is giving them the same effect as if smoking a regular cigarette. So either way there is no way to smoke and be completely healthy.

  2. This blog is very good. I like the fact that many people can make a connection with it because some people smoke or they know someone who does. I also like the fact that she used real facts and told what the ingredents were in the cigarettes.

  6. Jessica,

    This is a compelling topic that affects the lives of millions of people. It's helpful how you take us through some of the reasons that people give for their smoking habit. I'd be interested to hear what makes nicotine so addictive in the first place.
