smoking

A lot of people today are involve of smoking some are even too young to smoke.  And even though cigarette companies put warning about what smoking can do to peoples health people still patronize cigars.  And even though vendors put sings like : "no selling of cigarette to minor" or "no cigarette selling to minors under 18 years old" still these vendors sell their products to who buys from them.  It doesn't matter if they are 18 or below all that matters is that they gain profits from them.  

Cigarette's are sold here in the Philippines by individual sales by side walk vendors or what they call here "takatak" vendors.  These vendors doesn't bother to ask "how old are you" or say " i cant sell you cigarette's for your too young", they just sell them cause all they care is profits that gives them the cash that could bring food on their plate.

These people that smoke even though aware of what could happen to them still patronize cigarette's. Upon my review cigarette's has a lot of chemical components that could burn your lungs and just one stick and you loose 7 minutes of your life.  Base on people i have interviewed they smoke cigarette's to calm them self when they are tense or stress and also base on my personal experience (just for study i tried smoking 1 butt of cigar for 1 day) it could make you feel relax a bonding material, or one that could kill your boredom (also could kill you).

to give you a detail here are the components of cigarette's that could be the caused of your death.

Nicotine: 
It is a colorless liquid that is on the floor of the snuff and turns brown when burned, the smell of snuff acquire when exposed to air is highly addictive

Carbon monoxide: 
Carbon monoxide, or CO, is a colorless, odorless toxic gas. Non-irritating - no coughing, but it is very poisonous.

Acetone: 
Acetone is used in the manufacture of plastics, fibers, drugs and other chemicals.

Ammonia: 
Ammonia is a colorless gas with a characteristic odor. Used in many household cleaning products and industrial products for cleaning glass. Ammonia is applied directly to soil in agricultural lands, and is used to manufacture fertilizer for agricultural crops and plants.

Toluene: 
Toluene is used in the manufacture of paints, paint thinners, varnish to the nails, paints, adhesives and rubbers, and certain processes of printing and leather tanning.

DDT: 
It is a liposoluble insecticide, which only dissolves in fatty substances, is not excreted in the urine and accumulates in fatty tissue. I have long been using for its persistence in the environment.

Methanol: 
It is the simplest alcohol. Light is a liquid, volatile, colorless, flammable and toxic to be used as an antifreeze, solvent and fuel.

Benzopyrene: 
Benzopyrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. a-benzopyrene is derived from one of the greatest risk factor, after long periods of use, can trigger cell disorders causing cancer

Arsenic: 
Inorganic arsenic compounds are mainly used to preserve wood. Organic arsenic compounds are used as pesticides. Arsenic can not be destroyed in the environment. As compound, arsenic can be toxic, so it is commonly used in rat poison.

Polonium 210: 
Polonium-210 from phosphate fertilizers that are used in plantations and snuff is absorbed through roots and accumulated in the leaves, still in the process of industrialization and the drying and smoking is trapped in the bronchial mucosa. A smoker and a half pack of cigarettes per day received 400 rads in the bronchi of alpha radiation per year, equivalent to 300 chest radiographs, or nearly one per day.

Cadmium: 
Cadmium is a natural substance in the earth's crust. Usually found as mineral combined with other substances such as oxygen, chlorine, or sulfur. It has many uses including batteries, pigments, coatings for metals, and plastics. Cadmium and its compounds are carcinogenic.

Aniline: 
Aniline is a colorless liquid, slightly yellow smell. It is used to make polyurethane foam, agricultural chemicals, synthetic dyes, antioxidants, stabilizers for rubber, paints and herbicides and explosives. The EPA has determined that aniline is probably carcinogenic in humans.

These are the components that you put in your mouth and just a trivia when you smoke its like putting a car's muffler in your mouth.  Also i want to post the different things that are caused by smoking. Lets start by:

Bad breath- since you smoke it leaves a a condition which is called halitosis, or persistent bad breath.

Bad skin- Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and nutrients from getting to the skin — which is why smokers often appear pale and unhealthy. An Italian study also linked smoking to an increased risk of getting a type of skin rash called psoriasis.

Getting old fast- though you might still be young 16 or below you would start to look old because  nutrients that's should get in your skin has been prevented so you would look pale old person.

People who smokes has the high risk of getting pneumonia, heart problems, emphysema,  bronchitis, and of course different types of cancer. i wish i could show you the pictures but i cant so if you have a chance do a research of your own on what could happen. And hopefully you guys stop smoking.
