How Smoking Harms Us - From Head to Toe

Thursday March 30, 2006
If you were asked what the number one killer of smokers is, chances are you'd guess it is lung cancer, or perhaps emphysema. While many lives are lost to both of these diseases, neither of them holds the number one spot for smoking-related death. The biggest killer of Americans in general and of smokers in particular is heart disease.

If you're still smoking, please set a date to quit. Cigarettes / tobacco in any form offer you nothing but disease and death.

Don't waste another day of your precious life on smoking!
