5TH NEWPAPER CONTRIBUTION

Today I want to talk about why smoking kills, have ever heard this: 'Oh, I am not addicted.' 'Anything in moderation is fine.' 'Smoking is cool.' 'It helps me feel calm.' The reasons for smoking are many and so are the excuses but it’s important to remember what the consequences of smoking are.
Here in Costa Rica or any other country we need to consider the consequences of smoking for example that every eight seconds, someone in the world dies due to tobacco use, evidence shows that around 50 percent of those who start smoking in adolescent years go on to smoke for 15 to 20 years this if important due to we need to stop this trend for teenagers.
Another important fact is that half of long-term smokers will die from tobacco related diseases. Every cigarette smoked cuts at least five minutes of life on average about the time taken to smoke it according to researches made the difference of live years for a smoker and a no smoker it’s almost 8 to 9 years.
I think it’s important to know some Constituents of a Typical Cigarette there are about 4,000 chemicals that go into making a single cigarette, all of which give it its unique flavor and all this components together are similar to any poison on earth. I just want to mention some basic components of a typical cigarette:
 Acetone - nail polish remover
 Ammonia - toilet cleaner
 Hydrogen Cyanide - poison
 Cadmium - car battery fluid
 DDT/ Dleldron - insecticide
 Methanol - rocket fuel
Finally we need to stop and think that with upwards of 5 million people dying on this planet every year from tobacco use, chances are more than good that we'll end up a tragic addition to those statistics if you never smoked great but if you’re smoker you need to start doing something because probably someday you are going to suffer the consequences.
