Second-Hand smoking is also very dangerous
More than 10,000 non-smokers will die this year due to tobacco use -- over 1000 lung cancer deaths and at least 3000 deaths from coronary heart disease will be caused by second-hand smoke.

Tar coats your lungs like it does the roads. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in a mug full of tar every year. Tar damages the hairs that clean the lungs and it inflames the air sacs. Mucus builds up and this results in the smokers' cough. Eventually it causes bronchitis and emphysema. It also yellows the teeth, hands and skin.

Carbon Monoxide robs your brain, heart and muscles of oxygen. Carbon monoxide combines with nicotine to thicken the blood. This can cause heart attacks and stokes, blood clots in the limbs and amputation. 3 out of 4 deaths from heart attacks in men are due to smoking.
