Smoking Kills
Every year, 400,000 Americans die from smoking related illness. This year, smoking will kill more than 276,000 men and 142,000 women. Every drag inhaled from a cigarette contains 4,000 chemicals. Out of those 4,000 chemicals, 109 of them are proven to cause cancer. Smoking does not only kill yourself, but in fact it kills the loved ones around you as well. Every year, 52,000 non-smokers die from inhaling second-hand smoke. Now for us to actually understand the affect of smoking does to our body, we must look at it in these harmful ways; who smokes and when they started, what is in an actual cigarette, and the long term effects.
