Well, out of curiosity..I always ask myself..What makes a person smoke?According to those ancient days, it is because MAN looks great and macho having a stick on their hand..Exhaling the smoke out of their breaths simply cool.. filling themselves with desire wanting more to inhale..Drugged - being the right word to describe..However, it was said "stylish" to see a person smoking..And it still does..Anyhow, do they know how much danger smoking can cause?
Smoking cigarettes can cause:
Bronchitis
Emphysema
Lung Cancer
Heart disease
Smoking cigars can cause:
Bronchitis
Cancer of the mouth
Heart disease
It is less likely to cause damage to the lungs because cigar smokers do not usually inhale very much smoke: it is too strong. They are less likely to "chain smoke".
Smoking a pipe can cause:
Bronchitis
Cancer of the mouth or lips
Heart disease
Again, the smoke can be very strong, so pipe smokers are less likely to inhale the smoke.
Taking snuff can cause:
Cancer of the nose
Heart disease
Smoking herbal tobacco can cause:
Bronchitis
Emphysema
Lung cancer
You might have thought that herbal tobacco is safe. Well, it does not contain nicotine so that reduces the chances of getting heart disease, but there will still be tar in the smoke which can damage your lungs.
Most smokers are aware of the dangers of smoking. They may think that they have a right to smoke; after all, it is not against the law. Perhaps it is not so simple. When a smoker ends up in hospital needing treatment for emphysema, or lung cancer, their treatment costs money. The National Health Service is paid for out of our taxes. Their disease costs us money.
