You probably know about  the relationship between smoking and lung cancer, but did you know smoking is also linked to heart disease, stroke and other chronic lung diseases?  Smoking can also increase your risk for cancer of the bladder, throat and mouth, kidneys, cervix and pancreas.  Thinking about quitting? Look at the facts!

• Smoking is the most preventable cause of death in the United States. 
• Almost one third of deaths from coronary heart disease are attributable to smoking and secondhand smoke.
• Smoking is linked to about 90% of lung cancer cases in the United States.
• About 20 percent of adult men and about 16 percent of adult women smoke.
• The highest percentage of people who smoke are between the ages of 21 and 34.
• About 54 percent of American children ages 3-11 are exposed to secondhand smoke.
• On average, smokers die more than 10 years earlier than nonsmokers. 
• You can be one of the millions of people who successfully quit every year.

In the world some national gets bad record about the smoking . Indonesian get number 1 National most Smoker then Rusian and Chinese. 

There are more than 5,000 chemical components found in cigarette smoke and hundreds of them are harmful to human health, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Here are a few examples:

• 1,3-Butadiene is a chemical used to manufacture rubber. It is considered to be a carcinogenic chemical that can cause certain blood cancers.
• Arsenic is used to preserve wood. Some arsenic compounds have been linked to cancer of the lung, skin, liver, and bladder.
• Benzene is used to manufacture other chemicals. It can cause cancer, particularly leukemia, in humans.
• Cadmium is a metal used to make batteries. Cadmium and cadmium compounds can cause lung cancer and have been associated with kidney and prostate cancer.
• Chromium VI is used to make alloy metals, paint and dyes. Chromium VI compounds cause lung cancer and have been associated with cancer of the nose and nasal sinuses.
• Formaldehyde is used to make other chemicals and resins. It is also used as a preservative. Formaldehyde causes leukemia and cancer in respiratory tissues.
• Polonium-210 is a radioactive element that has been shown to cause cancer in animals.
• Tar is not one single chemical, instead it describes several chemicals that are in tobacco smoke. It leaves a sticky, brown residue on your lungs, teeth and fingernails.

Carbon monoxide & nicotine: A dangerous duo

Carbon monoxide is a harmful gas you inhale when you smoke.  Once in your lungs, it’s transferred to your bloodstream.  Carbon monoxide decreases the amount of oxygen that is carried in the red blood cells.  It also increases the amount of cholesterol that is deposited into the inner lining of the arteries which, over time, can cause the arteries to harden.  This leads to heart disease, artery disease and possibly heart attack.

Nicotine is a dangerous and highly addictive chemical. It can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart and a narrowing of the arteries (vessels that carry blood). Nicotine may also contribute to the hardening of the arterial walls, which in turn, may lead to a heart attack. This chemical can stay in your body for six to eight hours depending on how often you smoke.  Also, as with most addictive substances, there are some side effects of withdrawal.

Second-Hand Smoke

Smokers aren’t the only ones affected by tobacco smoke. Secondhand smoke is a serious health hazard for nonsmokers, especially children. Nonsmokers who have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol have an even greater risk of developing heart diseases when they’re exposed to secondhand smoke.

Secondhand tobacco smoke contributes to about 34,000 premature heart disease deaths and 7,300 lung cancer deaths. Studies show that the risk of developing heart disease is about 25-30 percent higher among people exposed to environmental tobacco smoke at home or work. Secondhand smoke promotes illness, too. Children of smokers have many more respiratory infections than do children of nonsmokers.

These are just a few of the dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes; there are many more.  But you do not have to spend the rest of your life giving in to your addiction! Thousands of people kick the habit every year, and you can be one of them.  It may not be easy, but you can do it!

Other , Cigarette kill so many people around in 20 million on 20th century ,value so many then people killed because world war 1 dan world war 2. So until now you must stop smoking for your life be healthty

The danger of smoking for health

Surely you are familiar with. Those two words can easily be found anywhere. It can not be surprising if there is an impact.

One of the main consequences you can get from smoking is suffering from heart disease. It is estimated, as much as 20% of deaths from heart disease are directly related to smoking habits. Why are cigarettes so dangerous? What are the other negative effects of smoking?

Just look at the content contained on a cigarette. More than 4000 chemicals are in it. Hundreds of them are toxic and about 70 ingredients in them are cancerous. Hazardous materials on a cigarette, among others:

Carbon monoxide. Substances that are often found in car exhaust fumes can bind themselves to hemoglobin in the blood permanently, thus preventing the provision of oxygen to the body. It makes you tired quickly.

Tar. When smoking, the content of tar in the cigarette will be absorbed. This substance will settle in your lungs and have a negative impact on the performance of small hair that lining the lungs. Though the hair is in charge of cleaning germs and other things out of your lungs.

Oxidant gas. This gas can react with oxygen. Its presence in the body further increases the risk of stroke and heart attack due to blood clots.

Benzene. Substances added to this fuel can damage cells at the genetic level. This substance is also associated with various types of cancer such as kidney cancer and leukemia.

In addition to the above ingredients, there are still many toxic ingredients on a cigarette such as arsenic (used in pesticides), toluene (found in paint thinners), formaldehyde (used to preserve corpses), hydrogen cyanide (used to make chemical weapons), and cadmium (Used to make batteries).

When you smoke, you will be more likely to have a heart attack. Smokers are two to four times more likely to develop heart disease. The risk is even higher if you are a female smoker who is taking birth control pills.

When smoking, you will participate in incorporating harmful substances that could adversely affect the body, especially the heart. Examples of nicotine substances. When nicotine gets into the body, it can reduce the amount of oxygen that gets into the blood. This opiate substance can also speed up the heartbeat, raise blood pressure, damage the blood vessels in the heart, and speed up blood clots that can trigger heart attacks. So also with the bad consequences of other organs.

Brain

Smoking can increase the risk of stroke by 50 percent. It can cause brain damage and death. Smoking can also increase the risk of having a cerebral aneurysm. Aneurysm of the brain is a swelling of blood vessels that occur due to weakening of blood vessel walls. Occasionally it can rupture and cause bleeding in the brain.

Mouth and throat

Bad breath and teeth are the effects of smoking. Gum disease and taste damage can occur. A serious problem that will land on the mouth and throat is the increased risk of cancer of the tongue, throat, lips, and vocal cords.

Lungs

One of the most dangerous effects of smoking is lung cancer. Chemicals in cigarettes have the potential to damage cells in the lungs that can form cancer cells. Other serious diseases you can experience are bronchitis, pneumonia, and emphysema.

Stomach

Smoking can weaken the muscles that control the bottom of your esophagus. This allows the acid from the stomach to move in the wrong direction, ie into the esophagus. The condition is called gastric acid disease. Some of the risks of disease that a smoker will face are ulcers or ulcers and stomach cancer.

Bone

Toxins in cigarettes can damage bone by stopping the working of the construction cells. Therefore, smokers are more at risk of brittle bones or osteoporosis. Toxins can also disrupt the balance of hormones in charge of keeping bones strong, such as the hormone estrogen.

Skin

Smokers will look older than non-smokers because of the lack of oxygen to the skin. Premature aging will be felt, like the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Cigarette toxins can also cause cellulite on the skin.

Reproductive organs

Smoking can interfere with your reproductive system and your fertility. In men, smoking can cause impotence, reduced sperm production, and testicular cancer. While in women, smoking can reduce fertility. In addition, the risk of cervical cancer was higher because smoking reduces the body's natural ability to fight human papillomavirus infection or HPV.

In addition to physical illness, smokers also experience higher levels of stress in
