Cigarette, Cigarette In My Mouth, I Don’t Know What YOU Are You Made Up Of Till Now..

SMOKING KILLS….SO WHY BOTHER TO START??

SMOKING KILLS…SO WHY BOTHER STARTING?? Major cause of stoke.

Suppresses immune system of the body. Very addictive and raises blood pressure.

May cause gum problem, emphysema and cancer.

Reduces stamina, leads to depression and fatigue. Dulls sense of smell, causes wrinkles on the skin.

TAR THE ROADS, NOT YOUR LUNGS.. A smoker ingests a full cup of tar into his lungs

every day. Only about 30 percent of cigarette tar is sent

back into the air through exhalation; the rest sticks to your throat and lungs like chewing gum.

Tar kills healthy lung cells. Deep inside the lungs, cigarette smoke

damages the alveoli.

NOT FORGETTING THE BODY..• The blood vessels in the skin constrict when

you light up, limiting the amount of oxygen the skin gets.

• ‘Smoker's face’ is a condition long-term smokers suffer from.

• The skin may also appear gray in color, and facial features may appear gaunt.

EFFECTS OF NICOTINE..

WHY DO PEOPLE START??Lack of Awareness – About 30% of the smokers are not aware of the consequences of smoking and just start smoking. For this what we need is the fineprint at the bottom of the pack to be done away with and be replaced with huge pictures.

Peer Pressure – Another 30% of the people get into this habit because of influence from their friends. It is a very widely known fact that some students in our school smoke too.

WHY DO PEOPLE START??Curiosity – It is the experimentation attitude of adolescents that makes them start smoking. They do not care about the consequences and ‘just’ try it out. Think about curiosity kills the cat…

Nicotine – The final reason is nicotine addiction which is the most important reason for addiction. Nicotine is highly addictive and provides a platform for tobacco addiction.

QUIT NOW AND ENJOY

TO GET RID OF SMOKING, USE :

NICOTINE GUMS :-

Nicotine Gum helps a person to eradicate

many of the harmful effects of smoking by replacing a cigarette

with a gum.

However, the fatal flaw to this is that a person gets addicted to nicotine gum and

it just becomes a matter of replacing

addictions.

The proper way to chew nicotine gum is

given on the right side.

BUT IN THE END…

IT IS YOU…

WHO HAS TO TAKE…

A STEP TO IT..
