I was at a meeting yesterday with a few public health professionals planning a teen smoking prevention campaign. I just had the sense that a few of the people just didn't get the full implication of the dangers of smoking. One comment made by the American Cancer representative there was that one in three cancers are caused by smoking and this seemed to surprise some of these people. While this is a staggering statistic, one out of three cancers caused by a product that is only used be one out of four people, it needs to be noted that most people who die from smoking don't even die from cancer from smoking but actually die from heart and circulatory diseases brought on my smoking. To reduce your risk of all these problems--not to mention empysema and the host of other problems caused by smoking--always remember to never take another puff!
