There are lots of reasons to stop smoking. Here are five great ones!1. Your cigarettes are radioactive! they have Polonium 210 - the same poison that killed a Russian spy.
2. If smokers were cars, they wouldn't pass a smog test. Just ask Christopher Delo, a smoker and mechanic who too a drag and then blew into his auto shop's smog tester. The machine showed his breath as a "gross polluter". He's quitting smoking now!
3. Smoker's pets get cancer, too. Dogs living with smokers had 6 times bigger risk of lung cancer. Cats are 3 times more likely to get cancer when they live with a smoker. Pets also get asthma and allergies from cigarette smoke.
4. Got tar? If you're a pack-a-day smoker, you'll collect about a quart of tar each year...inside your lungs.
5. Now with more nicotine! Since 1998, cigarette makers have been caught "spiking" cigarettes with more addictive nicotine.
Bonus! plenty of health problems go away or get better when you quit:
Snoring
Heartburn
Vision Problems
Arthritis and Joint Pain
Risk of Heart Attach and Stroke
