Taking a Hard Look at the Destructive Effects of Smoking
Smoking-related disease is snatching our beloved family members and friends away from us at an alarming rate. According to the World Health Organization, smoking related-diseases kill one in 10 adults globally, causing approximately four million deaths a year.
As hard as it can be to face, looking head-on at the destructive effects of smoking on our health is good therapy when we quit. When we face the reality of smoking-related disease, it helps us change the relationship we have to smoking, and from there, we can begin to clear the path to true and lasting freedom from nicotine addiction.
While some of the accounts in the following collection of smoking-related disease personal stories are heartbreaking and difficult to read, they are stark reminders of what might lie ahead of us if we don't stop smoking.
