Giving up smoking? Good idea, because cigarettes are full of poisons. Lets read a bit about them.
Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals. These include tar, carbon monoxide (found in car exhaust fumes), ammonia (found in floor cleaner)and arsenic (found in rat poisons).
Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is an extremely addictive drug. The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate, and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels. It slows your blood flow, cutting off your oxygen to your feet and hands, and therefore affecting circulation.
Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body - especially your heart - work harder.
Tar is made up of so many different chemicals, including substances that cause cancer. It coats your lungs like soot in a chimney. Changing to low-tar cigarettes doesn't help because smokers take deeper puffs to compensate and hold the smoke in longer to gain greater benefit, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
Remember every cigarette is doing you damage
