Stop Smoking
Hi and welcome to the Quit page.
|
|
If you are serious about kicking the
habit of nicotine addiction,
then you have come to the right place.
|
|
So lets begin the process of better
health and breathing cleaner air....
|
|
|
First things first. . . .
What exactly are you smoking and filling your delicate
lungs with? Checkout the list below. . .
|
|
Think there's nothing in cigarettes besides
tobacco? Think again. "All Natural"
doesn't by any means mean "All Tobacco". The
Federal Trade Commission tested the smoke that comes
from burning cigarettes and they found
more
than 5,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke.
More than 40 of those cigarette ingredients are
known to be human carcinogens - that means they
cause cancer - not just in animals, but in humans
too.
As if this isn't a reason to Quit Smoking! Most
cigarette ingredients can cause long-lasting harm to
most of your bodily organs and provide the best reasons
to quit smoking. If you've taken a few moments to glance
through this quit smoking portal, you'll encounter reason
after reason to quit smoking from addiction to odour
to long-lasting ill health effects such as cancer, oxygen
deprivation, asthma, irritations, infections and foetus
impairment. Now that you know the effects of smoking,
we thought you'd like to know the cigarette ingredients
responsible for causing those effects.
In addition to tobacco, which contains nicotine,
the following 599 ingredients have been identified
in tobacco industry documents as being added to tobacco
in the manufacturing of cigarettes by the five major
American cigarette manufacturing companies. While
some of these chemicals, such as sugars, vanilla extract,
prune juice, and vinegar, are generally recognized as
safe when used in food products, all produce numerous
additional chemical compounds when burned. None,
probably, is more deadly than nicotine, however.
Trying to convince someone to quit?
Show them this list, or better yet, print it out and
give it to them - maybe once they see all of the junk
that they're putting into their bodies each time they
smoke a cigarette, they'll reconsider.

Remember that all those chemicals listed above come
from burning that paper and weed, followed by that
deep drawing into your chest making your heart pound
and head spin from oxygen deprivation.
I used to smoke 50 cigarettes every day. . . .
Now... Lets move on. . . .
