| How Tobacco Affects Your Body |
Cigarette smoke has more than 4,000 chemicals! Forty of these chemicals cause cancer. When someone smokes a cigarette, the smoke enters the lungs and the chemicals start traveling through the body causing serious damage.
Mouth and Teeth
- Tobacco makes your teeth yellow and gives you bad breath.
- Tobacco also causes gum disease and mouth cancer.
Throat
- Cigarettes, cigars, and chewing tobacco cause cancer of the mouth, throat, and larynx (voice box).
- Smoking increases the frequency of sore throat, colds, and
flu. Mucus builds up and germs are not flushed out.
Lungs
- Tar (same as the black gooey stuff used to pave roads), builds up in your lungs and causes cancer.
- Smoking makes you cough and causes emphysema (lungs lose
their elasticity).
Brain
- The nicotine in tobacco first tells your body to speed up - making your heart beat faster and your blood vessels constrict. Then it tells your body to slow down - making you feel depressed so you want to smoke again.
- This is called ADDICTION (a vicious circle of speeding up and slowing down).
- Nicotine is MORE addicting than heroin or cocaine!
Eyes and Ears
- Smoking can cause eye problems and even blindness!
- Studies show that smoking is also linked to hearing loss.
Skin and Hair
- Smoking causes wrinkles on the face, especially around the mouth and eyes.
- Smoking causes premature grey hair.
Muscles and Joints
- Smoking blocks oxygen from getting to muscles, making you feel weak and even nauseous.
- Smoking also contributes to arthritis, a serious and painful
disease of the joints.
Heart
- Nicotine in cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco constricts the blood vessels, forcing your heart to work harder. This can cause heart attacks and strokes (blood clots in the brain).
- Smoking contributes to hardening of the arteries (plaque
garbage builds up in the arteries, blocking blood flow).
Other Organs
- Smoking causes cancer of the bladder, kidney, pancreas,
stomach, and reproductive organs.
Protect Your Body!
- Don't use any tobacco products - including cigarettes, cigars, pipes or chewing tobacco.
- Stay away from secondhand smoke. It causes serious problems, too.
- Your best defense? Say, "NO
WAY!"
