The Harmful Effects of Smoking 

Your lungs can be badly affected by smoking . Cough, wheezing, and asthma are just the beginning. Smoking can cause pneumonia and or emphysema .

Smoking causes about 90% (or 9 out of 10) of all lung cancer deaths. More women die from lung cancer each year than from breast cancer. Smoking causes about 80% (or 8 out of 10) of all deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Nearly 90 percent of adult smokers began smoking before age 18 and 11 percent of high school seniors reported smoking in the last month

Something you may consider is talking to a smoker and asking them if its really worth the pain and all the side effects it will cost if you smoke. Most likely you will take cigarettes out of your mind.

I promise never to smoke.
