Stained fingers. Bad breath. Sore throat. Hacking cough. Noxious clothes. Need more reasons to avoid smoking? How about lung cancer, weak bones, stomach ulcers and dry, wrinkled skin? These aren't even half of the unfortunate side effects of smoking,
and yet thousands of teenagers continue to take up this unsavoury habit every day. Unfortunately, too little information about the dangers of smoking often combines with a sense of invincibility to fool these teens into thinking that they aren't doing anything harmful. Save yourself the misery and get the real facts on smoking.

Inside a Cigarette
A lot of teens truly believe that cigarettes aren't bad for their health, but cigarettes are loaded with over 4,000 chemicals. At least 10% of these ingredients are carcinogenic, which means that there are more than 40 cancer causing chemicals rolled up in each cigarette. Just a few of the chemicals you'll find inside of a cigarette include:

* Acetone, a common ingredient in nail polish remover.
* Ammonia, a common component in household cleaning products.
* Arsenic, a poison that can be lethal.
* DDT, a chemical so harmful it has been banned from most insect repellents.
* Formalin, a chemical used to preserve human remains.
* Nitro benzene, a chemical commonly added to petrol.
* Nicotine, the substance that makes smoking addictive.

Don't Even Start
A lot of teens start smoking because they believe it makes them seem more mature, or because they believe that it helps them relax. Unfortunately these teens don't realise that smoking is addictive, so rather than relaxing they become slaves to their cigarettes. If you don't smoke, don't start and you will save yourself:

* The energy of running for a new pack every time you have a craving.
* A future full of ill health.
* A drawer full of beauty products to hide the adverse affects of smoking.
* Huge dry cleaning bills to get the stink of smoke out of your clothes.
* Many nights out in the cold once the smoking ban comes into force.
