No Smoking


The earliest forms of cigarettes have been attested in Central America around the 9th century in the form of reeds and smoking tubes. The Maya, and later the Aztecs, smoked tobacco and various psychoactive drugs in religious rituals and frequently depicted priests and deities smoking on pottery and temple engravings. The cigarette, and the cigar, were the most common method of smoking in the Caribbean, Mexico and Central and South America until recent times.
Research that has been proved that cigarettes cause very addicted, in addition to causing many types of cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease, digestive disease, the effects of poor birth, and emfisema.
Many people realize that smoking can kill him. They also know smoking causes a heart attack, stroke, lung cancer and some other serious disease. However, the smokers still just do not care and still smile when reminded that the threat.
According to data from the National Health Education, Ministry of Health of Singapore, that the 90% mortality due to lung cancer occurred among smokers in Singapore. Main causes of death in Singapore is heart disease. Results of research to prove, 40% of deaths due to heart disease before age 65 years associated with smoking / smokers. Stroke occupied while ranking third cause of death in Singapore.
Each cigarette / cigar contains more than 4,000 types of chemicals, 400 of which materials can be poison, and 40 of these materials can cause cancer, like Nicotine.
Nicotine is the drug in tobacco leaves. Whether someone smokes, chews, or sniffs tobacco, he or she is delivering nicotine to the brain. Each cigarette contains about 10 milligrams of nicotine. Nicotine is what keeps people smoking despite its harmful effects. Because the smoker inhales only some of the smoke from a cigarette and not all of each puff is absorbed in the lungs, a smoker gets about 1 to 2 milligrams of the drug from each cigarette. A drop of pure nicotine would kill a person-in fact, nicotine can be used as a pesticide on crops.
So,let's stop smoking now
