According to Man Health Magazine it has been known since the 1950s that the health effects of smoking cigarettes are devastating and
include directly causing lung cancer.
There is overwhelming medical and scientific consensus that smoking cigarettes also causes, heart disease,
stroke, emphysema and more than 50 other different diseases and disorders, many fatal.
Half of all long term cigarette smokers are likely to be killed by the harmful effects of cigarette
smoking, losing an average of 16 years of life.
Every cigarette shortens your life by 14 minutes.
The number of people under 70 years of age dying from diseases as a result of the effects of smoking
cigarettes exceeds the total figure for deaths caused by breast cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents and drug
addiction.
There are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic)
compounds and 400 other toxins.
