A Serial Killer Worse Than Ted Bundy!

"What The Billion Dollar Tobacco Companies Don't Want You To Know About Smoking!"

Each year more than 18,000 Australians die prematurely because of smoking - that's 50 a day.

Smoking kills more people in Australia than the total number killed by drink, drugs, murder, suicide, road crashes, rail crashes, air crashes, poisoning, drowning, fires, falls, lightning, electrocution, snakes, spiders and sharks.

Of 1,000 young Australian males who smoke, 1 will be murdered, 15 will be killed on the road and 250 will be killed before their time by tobacco.

In Australia in 1986, the following body organs were removed from humans because of cancer caused by smoking:

521 lungs

148 gullets

71 tongues

221 voice boxes

82 stomachs

40 pancreases

68 wombs

85 bladders

115 kidneys and 161 miscellaneous body parts.

In Australia $6,763 billion or 47% of the total economic cost of drug abuse is attributable to tobacco. This includes:

$609.6 million in direct health care costs

$6,028.3 million in indirect mortality costs

The tobacco industry spends upward of $70 million on cigarette advertising and promotion each year. Much of this advertising appears to be directed at recruiting children to smoke. (Remember the candy "FAGS" cigarettes.)

Around 140 Australians die each year from lung cancer caused by breathing other people's smoke.

Cigarettes are designed to cause the smoker to have withdrawals after each smoke. The smoker becomes agitated and uptight, seeking relief from the next cigarette. And so the cycle continues. The smoker believes the cigarette is calming when in fact it caused the agitation in the first place.

CONSTITUENTS OF TOBACCO SMOKE

Tobacco smoke contains more than 3,800 chemicals, many of which are poisonous.

The major poisonous chemicals in tobacco smoke are:

2-nitropropane

Hydrogen cyanide
Acetaldehyde Insecticide residues (e.g. DDT)
Acrolein
 Isoprenoids
Acrylonitrile
Naphthalenes
Alkanes and Alkenes
Nickel
Ammonia
Nicotine
Aromatic amines
Nitrogen oxides
Arsenic
Nonvolatile nitrosamines
Aza-arenes
Other nitrosamines
Benzene
Phenols
Carbon monoxide
Polonium-210
Carboxylic acids
Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
Dimethylnitrosamine
Pyridine
Formaldehyde
Urethane
Hydrazine
Vinyl chloride

Tobacco smoke contains many carcingogens - that is chemicals that cause cancer. Those identified so far include:

11 Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons

4 N-heterocyclic hydrocarbons

9 N-nitrosamines

3 Aromatic amines

3 Aldehydes

12 Organic and inorganic compounds (including arsenic, benzene, cadmium, chromium and vinyl chloride) and the radioactive element polonium-210

Tobacco smoke contains hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, nitrogen dioxide, acrolein and formaldehyde. These chemicals paralyse the cilia - tiny hair-like brushes in the respiratory system and lugs. Smokers' lungs are more sensitive to cancer-causing chemicals because their cilia do not clear dust and mucus effectively.

Tobacco smoke contains naphthylamine and nitrosamines, which cause lung cancer. Smokers also absorb these carcinogenic chemicals through their lungs, contributing to cancer in other parts of the body such as the bladder, kidney and pancreas.

Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide interferes with uptake of oxygen in the lungs and with its release from the blood to the tissues that need it.

When carbon monoxide is inhaled it combines with haemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which reduces the amount of oxygen available to the body's vital organs.

The amount of oxygen carried by the blood may be severely deprived in heavy smokers due to the effects of carbon monoxide. Oxygen levels may be reduced by as much as 15%.

Carbon monoxide restricts the oxygen available to the foetus, contributing to the low weight of babies born to women who smoke. The baby in the womb cannot grow normally if deprived of oxygen.

Cigarettes and tobacco contain nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive drug. Smokers become addicted to nicotine in a similar way to how heroin addicts become addicted to heroin, and cocaine addicts become addicted to cocaine.

Smokers who smoke regularly expose themselves to the effects of nicotine for 24 hours each day, as nicotine builds up in the body during the day and remains overnight.

A number of people have been poisoned or have died from swallowing nicotine. Most of these poisonings resulted from swallowing pesticides containing nicotine. Symptoms of nicotine poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, headaches, sweating and pallor. In more severe cases of poisoning, victims suffer dizziness, weakness and confusion, convulsions, low blood pressure and coma.

Carbon monoxide and nicotine are the constituents of tobacco smoke most likely to contribute to the development of heart disease.

Benzo (a) pyrene, which is found in tobacco smoke and causes cancer in laboratory animals, has been shown to bind chemically to DNA. Interference with the normal structure and function of DNA is believed to be the first step in the development of cancer,

"And Now The Good News - The Benefits Of Becoming A Non-Smoker For Life!"

These figures are based on research by more than one cancer society and do not represent guaranteed clinical or physical improvements to any one individual.

20 minutes: Blood pressure drops to normal. Pulse rate drops to normal. Temperature of hands and feet returns to normal.

8 hours: Carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal. Oxygen level in blood increases to normal.

24 hours: Chance of heart attack decreases.

48 hours: Nerve endings start to re-grow. Smell and taste improves.

2 weeks: Circulation improves. Exercise, including walking, becomes easier. Lung function increased by up to one-third.

1 month: Cilia re-grows in lungs and airways, increasing lung's self maintenance. Energy level increases overall. Coughing, sinus problems, tiredness and shortness of breath all decrease.

1 year: Excess risk of heart disease is halved. Recovery rate from heart by-pass surgery almost doubled.

2 ½ years: Lung cancer death rate almost halved. Risk of mouth and throat cancer halved.

5 years: Risk of stroke similar to non-smoker.

10 years: Lung cancer death rate same as for non-smoker. Pre-cancerous cells have been replaced. Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, bladder, kidneys and pancreas decreases. Risk of heart disease is that of a non-smoker.
