Why quit smoking?

Most people are aware that smoking is a contributing factor in causes of lung cancer, but it can also cause many other cancers and illnesses.

Around 114,000 people are killed in the UK every year through smoking. Of these deaths, about 42,800 are from smoking-related cancers, 30,600 from cardiovascular disease and 29,100 die slowly from emphysema and other chronic lung diseases.

  

How do cigarette damage health?

Every cigarette you smoke introduce in excess of 4,000 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances into your body.
When you inhale, a cigarette burns at 700°C at the tip and around 60°C in the core.  This heat breaks down the tobacco to produce various toxins.

As a result of smoking many of the 300 people who die every day in the UK are comparatively young smokers.

The number of people who die under the age of 70 from smoking-related diseases exceeds the total figure for deaths caused by breast cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents and drug addiction.

Non-smokers and ex-smokers can also look forward to a healthier old age than smokers.
