A few health facts I just learned should want to make anyone quit!
Smoking prematurely ages skin by wearing away proteins that give it elasticity, depleting it of vitamin A and restricting blood flow. Smokers? skin is dry, leathery and etched with tiny lines, especially around the lips and eyes.
Smoking interferes with the mouth?s chemistry, creating excess plaque and yellowing teeth. There is some
evidence that smoking contributes to tooth decay. Smokers are one and half times more likely to
lose their teeth.
One out of three deaths in the world is due to cardiovascular diseases. Smoking is one of the biggest risk
factors for developing cardiovascular diseases. These diseases kill more than a million people a year
in developing countries. Smoking-related cardiovascular diseases kill more than 600 000 people
each year in developed countries. Smoking makes the heart beat faster, raises blood pressure and increases the risk of? hypertension and clogged arteries and eventually causes heart attacks and strokes.
Smoking reduces resistance to the bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. It also impairs the
stomach?s ability to neutralize acid after a meal, leaving the acid to eat away the stomach lining.
Smokers? ulcers are harder to treat and more likely to recur!
