..downright low on life,..what do you think of ..??need a tranquilser, or probably a stress-buster..WHAT DO U DO??

..S M O K E..!!..thinking dat it'll, even though, for a moment or two, calm u down..

Why do we forget dat it wont reduce ur stress levels, but reduce our life, the minutes, the seconds we're breathing..we're killing ourselves by SMOKING.

And for those ppl..young boys and girls who puff their hearts n lungs out just for passion n out of habit..GOD BLESS YOU..starts counting your days..!

Here, are a few FACTS..creepy, but true..:

• Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.
• One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
• The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.

• This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.
• Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.

....these are a just "a few" of the facts..asking you to wake up!Its time that you open your eyes and see the truth.The smoke caused by an individual doesnt only eat him up inside,it kills the others around him.

SMOKING AND THE YOUNG

Smoking is something which attracts the youn a lot..passionate to give it a try, they fall prey to it.Smoking is addictive.Once fallen, it is difficult(but yea not impossible :) )..Many teens like the feeling that smoking gives them. This good feeling is from the nicotine in the cigarettes. Some teens think smoking will help them lose weight or stay thin. Many teens also feel like smoking gives them a sense of freedom and independence, and some smoke to feel more comfortable in social situations.Every time you inhale smoke from a cigarette, you kill some of the air sacks in your lungs, called alveoli. These air sacks are where the oxygen that you breathe in is transferred into your blood. Alveoli don't grow back, so when you destroy them, you have permanently destroyed part of your lungs. This means that you won't do as well in activities where breathing is important, like sports, dancing, or singing.Nicotine can make you feel good, but is feeling good (a feeling you can also get from healthy activities like playing sports) really worth all the bad things cigarettes do to you? If you smoke, you'll get sick more often. You also have the chance of getting lung cancer or emphysema, which will make you really sick for a long time before you die. If you are very sick, that good feeling from nicotine won't seem so important anymore.

CHANGE IS THE WORD

Giving up on smoking may be difficult in the beginning, but seriously, nothing they say , is IMPOSSIBLE.Smoking kills, it indeed does.The only way to save ourselves and the people around us from the hands of this deadly demon is by Quitting it.So, lets say it together..NO to SMOKING!!
