Smoking causes diseases
It’s a proven fact that the earlier people
start smoking, the greater their risk of
• Cancer—many different types
• Heart attacks or strokes
• Chronic bronchitis—a serious disease of
the lung airways
• Emphysema—a crippling lung disease
Secondhand smoke can kill
others
Even if you don’t smoke, breathing in
someone else’s smoke can be deadly too.
Secondhand smoke causes about 3,000
deaths from lung cancer and tens of thousands of deaths from heart disease to nonsmoking adults in the United States each
year. Secondhand smoke (also known as
environmental tobacco smoke) is the smoke
a smoker breathes out and that comes from
the tip of burning cigarettes, pipes, and
cigars.
Nicotine makes tobacco use
addictive
Nicotine in tobacco causes people to
become addicted much sooner than they
expect after they start using. This happens
to teens too. You’re addicted if
• You crave your cigarettes or other
tobacco.
• You feel nervous without your
cigarettes.
Smoking is ugly
• Some teens have said that kissing
someone who smokes is like kissing an
ashtray.
• Smoking often makes other people not
want to be around you.
• Smoking stinks. If you smoke you may
not smell smoke on you, but other
people do. Your car will stink too.
If you’re already addicted, there’s help
available to you. You can successfully
quit smoking with help and support. Just
ask your doctor or call 1-800-QUIT–NOW
(800/784-8669).
1-800-QUIT NOW is a national toll-free
telephone counseling resource.
• Most teens would rather date someone
who doesn’t smoke.
Do the math
One pack of cigarettes per day $5
Multiplied by the days in a year x 365
Yearly cost for cigarettes $1,825
That’s almost $2,000 a year that you
could be saving or spending on other things
like clothes, a car, or something fun!
