Do you eat your five portions of fruit and veg a day? Do you exercise regularly? Well if you're a smoker, you may as well stop bothering because it means very little.  Few really know (or believe) what dangers exist with smoking, even though it's a well known fact that it causes many Health problems.

Did you know that smoking kills around 114,000 people in the UK alone each year. But not all die from the same effects of smoking.

The most common killers in cigarette smoking are:

Cancer

What Chemicals do you think cigarettes contain? Well amongst thousands of other's, one of them is tar.

When tar comes into contact with the body's cells (mouth, throat and lung are the most affected) they cause mutations, this means that the cell's DNA gets altered. The more cigarettes smoked, the more cells get mutated.

One particular Gene in the cell's DNA controls the way the cell grows, in that it should continue to grow until its reached it's optimal size. If this gene gets altered in such a way that it no longer stops growing then it becomes a cancerous cell.

Of course this can still occur in non-smokers, and may not always happen to smokers but it's all to do with risk.

Fact: 90% of lung cancer cases are due to smoking.

Fact: Cancer causes 42,800 of the 114,000 smoking deaths each year.

Cardiovascular disease

Cholesterol and other fats become deposited in the arteries, this leaves them narrow or even blocked. Blood clots form as a result.

Blood clots in the heart and the brain are the most common causes of sudden death.

Coronary thrombosis: when blood clots occur in the arteries supplying the heart. Can lead to a heart attack.

Cerebral thrombosis: when blood clots form in the vessels to the brain. Can lead to strokes and paralysis.

Fact: Cardiovascular disease kills 30,600 smokers every year.

There are many other harmful health effects of smoking, needless to say they're not pleasant.
