Hello there, i wrote this blog not to scare some of smoker readers. I am just telling what is the truth about smokers. People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they’re 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That’s why people say it’s just so much easier to not start smoking at all. They don’t have any idea on what will happen to their lungs when they get addicted to cigarettes. I found some pictures to show what will happen to lungs when it was deceased

This is the example of unhealthy lungs.

Smoking leads people to develop health problems like cancer, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), organ damage, and heart disease. These diseases limit a person’s ability to be normally active 窶髏€ and can be fatal. Each time a smoker lights up, that single cigarette takes about 5 to 20 minutes off the person’s life.

Before when i was in high school many friends taught me how to smoke. And for three years i am smoking. But from the time my uncle became a cancer patient caused by smoking i stopped. I remember today is the death anniversary of my Uncle Bert. He past away 6 years ago. For almost 1 and a half year he suffers lung cancer. From the day he knew that he had a cancer. He never took any medicine. He believed that medicine can’t cure him anymore. It only can make him suffer for long time from his sickness. One of the main reason of causing Lung cancer is Cigarettes.
