Up in Smoke A photoeditorial by Ruth Jacobson
Are you a smoker who is sick of being told where and when to smoke? Are you tired of non-smokers complaining about breathing the smoke you force on them? Well, there is a simple solution. Quit.
The photo above left is a normal lung from a person who died of causes other than smoking. The photo above right is a lung from a person who died of cancer.
Almost a million teen-agers take up smoking every year. Most smokers start before age 19, and 60 percent start by age 14. Teenagers smoke because they're insecure, because they want to rebel or because their friends do. As a college student, isn't it time to re-evaluate the reasons for smoking?
Cigarette smoke contains many noxious compounds, including tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide, ammonia and formaldehyde. And two-thirds of the smoke from a burning cigarette goes into the atmosphere. So when you're smoking your cigarette on the dance floor of a bar, or anywhere inside, you need to breathe clean air to breath your smoke. Recent studies conclusively have linked second hand smoke to increased risk of lung cancer in those breathing it for extended periods of time.
As hard as you might think it is to quit, it can be done. The American Lung Association sponsors a program to help smokers quit. Try exercise, or just think of all the money you'll save. Don't you want to know your grandchildren? I never knew my grandmother because she died at 41 of lung cancer.
