The Effects of Smoking
Smoking is one of the leading causes of death among Americans. What
you dont hear are many of the effects of smoking. You may have heard that
smoking causes cancer, but there are many more effects of smoking than just
cancer.
One of the main problems of smoking is that people have a limited
knowledge of smoking. In fact, in 1983, one-quarter of the smoking
population did not believe that smoking caused illness. In 1991 around one
in seven smokers attributed no illness to smoking. ... While smokers may accept that smoking is
harmful to health, they may, at the same time, dismiss their own chances of
being affected.
Cancer may occur in people aged in their thirties, if they have
been smoking for 15 - 20 years. The influence of smoking on heart disease
is much greater at younger ages. In smokers between 35 - 44 years of age,
73% of deaths from coronary heart disease are due to smoking.
