Smoke Free Me - The Risks Of Smoking

The Health Risks of Smoking

 

If you are a smoker, you are twelve times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers. Wouldn't it be better to live maybe twice as long and at the same time avoiding horrible health conditions, medical bills and the money it costs to be a smoker?

 

As a smoker you are :

  • 12 times more likely to die from lung cancer
  • 10 times more likely to die from throat and mouth cancers
  • 10 times more likely to die from larynx cancer
  • 6 times more likely to die of heart disease
  • Twice as likely to die of a stroke

 

Time to quit the habit!

 

Not only are there huge health risks of smoking, there’s also the financial costs of such an expensive habit. If you were to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day at $2.50 a pack then that’s roughly $912 a year. Now over a period of 10 years that works out to be $9120! Don't you wish you could spend that money on something else?
