Quit Now, Live Longer, Live Happier
For those smoking out in the world that have a hard time with them themselves while having conflicting thoughts about quitting smoking should know that quitting is worth it. Many people who are smoking nowadays are unaware of what hazardous materials found within these cigarettes; chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde, and acetone are inhaled instantly when inhaling on a lighted cigarette. People are risking their health, life, and their loved ones or pet by smoking.
Lives are continuously lost everyday due to the effects of smoking and secondhand smoking. Some main affects on the body are lung cancer, heart cancer, and many more. Research from livestrong.com has shown that 87 percent of deaths caused by lung cancer are from the chemicals that surface within a cigarette. Though lung cancer may be one of the most causes of death from smoking there are a multitude of different types of cancer that are caused from smoking such as bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, and many more. So, do not think that only lungs will be affected but body parts such as the bladder, esophagus, and even the liver can and will be affected by smoking and secondhand smokes. Is it worth it to smoke knowing that in return a person will be dying a slow and painful death? Of course it’s not, that is why it is important to stop right now.
