3. Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals,
including 43 known cancer-causing
(carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other
toxins. These include nicotine, tar, and carbon
monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia,
hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT. Nicotine
is highly addictive. Smoke containing nicotine
is inhaled into the lungs.
4. Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is
inhaled.
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells,
preventing affected cells from carrying a full load of oxygen.
Carcinogens in tobacco smoke damage important genes that
control the growth of cells, causing them or to reproduce too
rapidly.
Smoking affects may increase the risk for respiratory and
other infections.
The body produces antioxidants to help repair damaged cells.
Smokers have lower levels of antioxidants in their blood than
do nonsmokers.
Smoking is associated with higher levels of chronic
inflammation, another damaging process that may result in
oxidative stress.

8. Life as a smoker is a life of
addiction. You can't quit.
You may think you can quit.
You may live your whole
life thinking you can quit.
But the reality is, you can't
quit. Sure, some people do
quit, but only through
extreme effort. And even
those who do quit are
fighting to stay that way for
the rest of their lives.
9. When a pregnant
woman smokes, it
diminishes the supply
of oxygen to the baby.
The nicotine can result
in the increased heart
rate of the baby.
Nicotine diminishes the
baby’s source of
nutrients due to the
augmented blood
pressure and blood
vessel constriction
