subject: Getting Away From The Harmful Effects Of Smoking [print this page] The harmful effects of smoking cannot be denied. Did you know that there are 599 additives in a tobacco cigarette, and that is not the worst part. The burning of these additives changes their chemical compounds. The burning of a cigarette while smoking produces over 4,000 chemical compounds, of which many are toxic and/or carcinogenic. Not to mention the smoke that you inhale, which contains carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia, all of which are devastating to your health. 43 known carcinogens are in the smoke that you breathe and share with others around you.
The Electronic-cigarette has no tobacco, smoke, or combustion involved in its operation; therefore, no burned chemicals. E-cigarettes contain 20 ingredients, which are used in our food, health, and beauty products. They have about the same amount of TSNAs (tobacco specific nitrosamines) as in FDA approved Nicotine Replacement Therapy products.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO):
Every 8secondssomeone dies from tobacco use. Smoking related diseases kill 1 in 10 adults globally, or cause 4 million deaths. By the year 2030, if current trends continue, smoking will kill 1 in 6 people.
About 12 times more British people have died from smoking than from World War II. Staggering.
Cigarettes cause more than 1 in 5 American deaths.
Half of the long-term smokers will die from tobacco and every cigarette that you smoke cuts at least 5 minutes off of your life expectancy. That is about the time it takes for you to smoke it.
Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of death and premature death. It is a prime factor in heart disease, stroke, and chronic lung disease. It can also cause cancer, which affects many parts of the body.
At least of all deaths from heart diseases and about of the world's chronic bronchitis are related to smoking.
Electronic cigarettes are a safe alternative to smoking real cigarettes. Non harmful, you won't be troubled by the harmful affects of cigarettes.
