Denial

Denial is a defensive coping

mechanism for notfacing up to

the reality of nicotine drug addiction.
There are over 40 chemicals found

in cigarette smoke that are known

carcinogens - that's 40 good reasons

to give up smoking now!

Tobacco smoke is more dangerous

to health than nicotine. Long-term

inhalation of tobacco smoke exposes

every cell of your body to powerful

chemicals that can cause cancer

and cell mutations, and that

ultimately cause tobacco-related

illnesses.

Tobacco smoke from cigarettes, cigars and pipes contains over 4,000 chemical compounds and breathable, suspended particles. Some of the chemicals present in tobacco smoke have been proven to cause cancer and increase the risk of birth defects.
These include: ammonia, arsenic, benzene, cadmium, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, lead, mercury, naphthalene, urethane and a variety of nitrosamines (potent human carcinogens). Formaldehyde, ammonia, urethane, and naphthalene are contained in household products with labels telling you to avoid inhaling them.

There are also radioactive chemicals in tobacco smoke, like polonium-210. So far, over 40 chemicals have been found in tobacco smoke that are known human carcinogens. This means that these chemicals have been proven to cause cancer not only in laboratory animals, but also in people.
These chemicals make smoking too high a risk.

So, begin a new life… Quit Now!
