The Danger Of Smoking

Smoking kills people, but this does not seem to be much of a concern for those who smoke. Death may not be a frightening consequence of smoking. However, the following are the 3 most alarming dangers of smoking:

1. One danger of smoking is that it is of 2 types - primary and secondary smoking. If you smoke, it is primary smoking; if you smoke around children, the children become secondary smokers. Did you know that everytime you smoke around infants you make them inhale a total of 102 cigarette packs by their 5th birthday?

2. Smoking destroys vital organs in the body and causes complications to existing health problems. It takes the life of a person every 8 seconds totaling to 440,000 deaths a year. This significant number sends a message that people do not value life anymore, which is very sad because life is in fact, priceless. The reason why? There are no spare souls sold in stores.

3. More and more children suffer due to the loss of a parent from smoking. The best gift parents can give their children is to keep themselves healthy, because nothing compares to the love and attention real parents can give. Having just one parent is good enough, but why should you settle for something that is only good enough when you could always have the best - a mom and a dad?

The danger of smoking primarily lies on each of us. If you want to unleash these dangers, then smoke. But why opt for that when we always have the power to make the world a better and safer place for everyone?
