DID YOU KNOW?


1 in 2 smokers die from a smoking related illness.

One person dies from a smoking related disease every 4 minutes in the UK. That’s 330 people a day. It’s the same as a Jumbo Jet crashing every day.

Many house fires are caused by carelessly discarded cigarettes.

Smoking 20 cigarettes a day for a year costs about £1500.

Smokers also get so used to smoking and when they smoke it makes it very difficult to not smoke.

When you smoke, nicotine reaches your brain in 7-10 seconds

It is illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone under age 18.

 

 

SO WHAT IS IT TABACCO THEN?

Tobacco comes from the dried leaves of the tobacco plant. It is found in cigarettes, cigars and other products.

Tobacco is usually smoked but can also be chewed.

Cigarette smoke contains over 4000 chemicals, including: arsenic, tar, ammonia hydrogen cyanide and nicotine.

Nicotine is a physically addictive drug and the one of the reasons people find it so difficult to give up smoking.

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

The benefits of giving up smoking START as soon as you STOP!

  • Blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal

After 8 hours:

  • Chances of a heart attack start to fall

  • Lungs start to clear out mucus and other debris

After 2 days:

  • Sense of taste and smell improve

After 3 months:

  • Yellow tobacco stains on the teeth disappear

After 18 months:

  • Lungs have completed their task of clearing out tar and other poisons
