Bladder Cancer is a cancer type in which the person will have blood in urine and will have pain when urinating usually causing the bladder to fail.
Burns is caused by smoking which starts fires.
Strokes is caused by clotting of blood cells in the brain causing little to no air to reach it.
Short term affects
Tar enters the lungs on the first smoke causing mass production of mucus.
Heart Attack is caused by clotting of blood in heart.
Loss of your sense of taste and smell will occur.
The heart will start to speed up and you will soon run out of breath very quickly.
3 reasons why I don't use tobacco
Cancer
I don't want to end up with cancer then die.
Lungs
I don't want my lungs to have tar in them then have my air sacs fail then die a slow painful death.
Heart
I don't want my heart to speed up past its normal rate and get a heart attack.
Body, Brain, Addiction
Addiction
The addiction caused by tobacco is caused by nicotine which will imitate your happy chemicals and cause you to feel really happy for a short period of time and it takes more smoking to get that same feeling
2nd hand smoke
2nd hand smoke is just as bad as smoking because the smoke that comes out of a smokers mouth has the same chemicals as smoking and will cause the same diseases as smoking.
