I admire the US, even in the fight against smoking!

Not convinced smoker, I also do my part in the anti-smoking campaign and I admire very much what you are doing in the US about it.

Well, the photo shown here (taken from the site " Yorkshire Smokefree ") shows what is in a cigarette.
In a cigarette there are really harmful substances for our body.
Suffice it to say, for example, to carbon monoxide (CO), which binds stably with hemoglobin, making it unusable for the transport of oxygen.
Suffice even think to formaldehyde (HCHO), which is toxic.
Suffice it to also think of the benzene (C 6 H 6 ) that damages the nervous system and which is a carcinogen.
In addition to these substances, there are also the tar, which is carcinogenic and thinking metals, such as cadmium, which is also a carcinogen.
Smokers inhale all this garbage and is also inhale to those who are close to he.
In the USA it was decided to carry out an anti-smoking campaign with shocking images of the damage caused by smoking.
I too will do the same.

Remember that smoking causes serious diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases and infertility.
Moreover, in pregnant women, smoking also hurts the fetus.
Smoking, if I were you before you light a cigarette I would count up to 100.
In fact, with your smoke, you hurt yourself and those around you.
