2. Hi today me and my friend
Elizabeth are going to talk about
long term and short term
smoking, what is does to your
body, why it’s bad for you.
3. Head: smelling hair, hair loss, loss of hearing, blindness, loss of sense of smell.
Brain: increased risk of stroke, headaches, mood changes and panic attacks.
Mouth and throat: Gum disease and tooth loss, tobacco- stained teeth, foul-
smelling breath, you could lose sense of taste.
Lungs :coughs and colds, wheezing, shortness of breath, asthma, tar, cancer
Heart: thickened blood, cancer. than twice as likely to die from heart disease as
non-smokers
One in six heart disease deaths and nearly one in 10 stroke deaths can be attributed
to smoking
4. In cigarettes there: Ammonia found in cleaning fluids, Arsenic a deadly poison, used in
insecticides, Benzene used as a solvent in fuel and chemical production,
Acetone widely used as a solvent, for example in nail polish remover, Cadmium a highly
poisonous metal used in batteries, Carbon monoxide (CO) an odourless, tasteless and
poisonous gas; makes breathing more difficult as it combines with the blood that
carries oxygen around the body. Up to 15 per cent of a smoker's blood may be carrying
CO instead of oxygen, making the heart work harder, and leading to heart disease and
circulation problems, Cyanide a deadly poison, Formaldehyde used to preserve dead
bodies, Shellac becomes a wood varnish when mixed with a form of alcohol, Tar a
mixture of chemicals About 70 per cent of the tar is left in smokers lungs causing a
serious lung conditions.
