<p>At the risk of being labeled melodramatic, the facts are overwhelming about the <strong>health risks of</strong> smoking.</p>
<p>Smoking is the primary source of preventable death in the country and is the biggest source of disease and death in the majority of western countries.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the leading cause of many types of cancer and also <strong>cardiovascular disease and stroke</strong>.</p>
<p>Virtually every single organ in the body is harmed by smoking and this is due to the thousands of chemicals (yes that is thousands) that are common in tobacco smoke.</p>
<p>Many of those chemicals are said to result in cancer and many additional health problems are caused or made even worse <strong>as a result of smoking</strong>.</p>
<p>Illnesses that relate to breathing such as emphysema and bronchitis are caused or made worse by smoking.</p>
<p>Emphysema is where the cigarette smoke leads to the air sacs inside the lungs being destroyed and this makes it tough for the oxygen to get transported to the bloodstream. Obviously having a reduction in the circulation of oxygen all through the body, it will decline at a higher rate.</p>
<p>Along with this damage to the air sacs within the lungs, the airways can become inflamed from cigarette smoke leading to chronic bronchitis.</p>
<p>When the combination of these two illnesses strike a person it can be an extremely unpleasant situation where the <strong>lack of breath</strong> gets increasingly difficult and ultimately results in untimely death.</p>
<p>Smoking also increases the condition of <strong>high blood pressure</strong> (hypertension) and along with that smokers are at increased risk of having a <strong>heart attack</strong> than those people who do not smoke.</p>
<p>The deterioration of the ability to breathe freely prevents smokers from participating in physical activities at higher levels and ultimately this decrease in the ability to exercise ends in <strong>poor health</strong> and for many people the sedentary life that they will frequently lead results in many more associated medical problems.</p>
<p>Every day of smoking is one more step in the wrong direction where many parts of the body particularly the major organs are subjected to real danger which will <strong>ultimately cause death</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Quitting is hard &#8211; NOT quitting is harder&#8221;</strong></p>
