Health risk

Most people know that smoking is bad for the health and causes lung cancer and heart attacks. What they may not know is that smoking causes many other diseases and illnesses. It is also the single most preventable cause of death in the U.S. Tobacco causes about 435,000 deaths or 1 out of 6 deaths in the U.S. each year. 20,000 flu and pneumonia deaths are tied to smoking. Every year 174,000 smokers will die from heart disease. Smoking increases the risk of dying of a heart attack by 60%. Every year 143,000 smokers will die from different cancers, 83,000 from lung cancer alone, and 26,000 from strokes. A stroke happens when the brain does not get enough oxygen. For example, when a person has a stroke, he/she may not be able to talk and/or move a part of his/her body for awhile or forever. Because of smoking, 40% of men and 28% of women die prematurely, before their time. According to the Surgeon General Report of 1985, "Smoking has killed more people in the U.S. alone than the number of Americans killed in battle or who died of war related diseases in all wars ever fought by this nation." The total number of U.S. deaths in the Vietnam War was 58,151.

Smoking is the number one killer in the African-American community. Adult black males have a greater chance of dying from cigarettes than adult white males. This is partly because black males are more likely to smoke mentholated cigarettes like Newports, Kools, and Salems and higher tar and nicotine brands. Mentholated cigarettes are particularly dangerous because the smoke is pulled deeper into the lungs.

Sorry to rain on your moment. Smoking is a government's way of population control. Just like the crazy crack law in the late 80's, early 90's. Another thing, the tax they receive for tobacco, gives the government billion's each year. What will they do then. If and when everyone stops smoking? Only other thing, is suit up and get on your transport. Were heading into another war. We've been fighting in the Middle East, longer then Vietnam. Our first front. Now we got N.K. needing a good b!tch slap. Our second front. WoW, our new population control Yes, I'm being a smart azz. Are you aware that almost all insurance companies. Don't cover the cost of the new meds, to help with quitting smoking? A 30 day supply is approx. 130$$ They say it take a few months for it to work. Most smokers don't have that money at once. So it easier to spend for a park or two. To get the edge off.
