October Tips of the Month: Quick Facts
on Smoking
-
Use your head. Smoking is
responsible for nearly 450,000 deaths each year.
-
Stay active. Exercising and
participating in sports is nearly impossible if you smoke
cigarettes.
-
Stay informed. Young smokers are
100 times more likely to smoke pot and become addicted to
other illicit substances such as heroin and cocaine.
-
Be aware of the risks. Smoking can
lead to many physical problems, including emphysema, heart
disease, stroke, and cancer.
-
Keep your edge. Smoking makes you
smell bad, gives you bad breath, makes your fingers turn
yellow, and gives you premature wrinkles.
-
Play it safe. Experimenting with
smoking could lead to full-fledged addiction and a lifetime
of trying to quit.
-
Do the smart thing. Smoking puts
your health and the health of those around you at risk.
-
Get with the program. Smoking isn't
"in" anymore.
-
Find ways to reduce anxiety.
Smoking may actually contribute to your state of agitation.
-
Be a real friend. If you know
someone who smokes, be part of the solution. Urge your
friend to get help and quit.
