"Stop Destroying Your Body Today with Those Harmful Tobacco Cigarettes"

I first want to congratulate you for taking the first step to learning about the hazards of smoking and to bettering your health. An informed decision is always the best decision.

Almost everyone knows that smoking tobacco cigarettes is very harmful to your health. But what many people do not know is just how severely their health suffers from smoking tobacco cigarettes. They do not know how much more susceptible they are making themselves to these life-threatening diseases.

Below is a list of facts directly from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention* website which outlines just how much more susceptible you are to a few of the deadly diseases caused by smoking. This information is up to date as of January, 2008.

Cancer

• Cancer is the second leading cause of death and was among the first diseases causally linked to smoking.

• Smoking causes about 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80% of lung cancer deaths in women. The risk of dying from lung cancer is more than 23 times higher among men who smoke cigarettes, and about 13 times higher among women who smoke cigarettes compared with non-smokers.

• Smoking causes cancers of the bladder, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx (voice box), esophagus, cervix, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach, and causes acute myeloid leukemia.

Cardiovascular Disease (Heart and Circulatory System)

• Smoking causes coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. Cigarette smokers are 2–4 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than nonsmokers.

• Cigarette smoking approximately doubles a person's risk for stroke.

• Cigarette smoking causes reduced circulation by narrowing the blood vessels (arteries). Smokers are more than 10 times as likely as nonsmokers to develop peripheral vascular disease.

• Smoking causes abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Respiratory Disease and Other Effects

• Cigarette smoking is associated with a tenfold increase in the risk of dying from chronic obstructive lung disease. About 90% of all deaths from chronic obstructive lung diseases are attributable to cigarette smoking.

• Cigarette smoking has many adverse reproductive and early childhood effects, including an increased risk for infertility, preterm delivery, stillbirth, low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

• Postmenopausal women who smoke have lower bone density than women who never smoked. Women who smoke have an increased risk for hip fracture than non-smokers.

All this harm to your body is being done because of all the toxins that are in conventional tobacco cigarettes. However, when you switch to the Electronic Cigarette, you are doing away with almost all those deadly toxins in tobacco cigarettes. When you puff on the E-cig, you are inhaling nothing more than a nicotine vapor.  So simply by stopping the intake of those toxins, your body will be able to begin repairing itself.
