SURGEON GENERALS WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy. Cigarette smoking has been proven to be harmful to a person’s health. The actual truth came out about cigarette use was realized until 1964. Kent brand cigarettes was allowed to use a filter containing asbestos from 1952-1956. Cigarette ads were allowed on television up until the year 1971, in 1979 it was discovered that women smokers could cause major damage to the their unborn child. In 1964, the annual Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health reported an overwhelming association between smoking and early death from lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and all other chronic diseases. Smoking has been proven to cause many life threatening problems, therefore cigarette use should not be tolerated. “The number one killer of smokers is heart disease” (Bailey 135). Not only that but also, “Cigarette smoking accounts for 30% of all heart disease deaths” (Kim and Saltzberg 1). Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke causes the amount of cholesterol clogging the arteries to rise dramatically. Smoking also makes the walls of the arteries harden which increases the chance for the artery to rupture. Another drug in cigarettes, nicotine, causes hypertension, your heart rate to rise, and your heart increasingly requires more oxygen to keep pumping. Along with heart disease, smokers are afflicted with life threatening cancers. Stomach cancer has also been found to be directly related to cigarette smoking. Another cancer that is related to smoking is bladder cancer. In addition to these, leukemia is also directly related to cigarettes.
Cigarettes are addictive and they usually lead the
smoker to marijuana use or to other kind of drugs. That's why I think that young
teenagers shouldn't start smoking at young age....
