Tobacco contains 43 known carcinogens i.e. cancer-causing chemicals. (Anything that is known to cause cancer is also called a carcinogen.)
Cigarettes also contain all of the following chemicals:Ammonia – used for toilet bowl cleanerArsenic – used for rat poisonCarbon Monoxide – found in car exhaust pipeTar – used for roofing and waterproofingNicotine – used as a poison in bug sprays
It is no wonder that smoking kills more Americans every year than murders, fires, alcohol, HIV, and car accidents combined.
Would you want to lick a toilet bowl or drink bug spray?Nicotine is the most addictive known drug!It narrows the blood vessels making it difficult for the heart to get oxygen to the body. This can really mess up your game, or even worse it can cause heart disease!
Tar will turn a smoker’s lungs BLACKIt damages the cilia, reducing their ability to keep dirt and germs out of the lungs. Because of this, smokers have more coughs, colds, and other lung diseases than non-smokers.

Success Steps to quittingSuccess Steps to quitting
Make a Plan
Set aside time every day to practice.
Take action by setting your "quit date"—the day you will start (being) a former smoker—and telling people about it.Think about why quitting is important to you. (Write a list)Plan what to do at times and places that could be challenging when you become a former smoker.Practice coping with the urge to smoke and choosing, on occasion, not to smoke.Change behaviors around what you eat, how you exercise, how you cope with stress and strong feelings, and getting support from others.
Choose Your Quit Date
Midnight on a Thursday or Friday is the best time for most people. That way, you'll be through the hardest part of withdrawal by Monday morning.
Your quit date should be about 2 weeks after you begin learning and practicingthe strategies and skills described.

Notice the craving. Don't ignore, suppress or fight it Stop and think about it. Take a moment to experience the craving Make a conscious choice not to smoke Wait. The urge will pass after a minute or so, whether or not you choose to smoke Do anything to delay the urge Get up and do something Call someone and talk about it Congratulate yourself each time you have an urge to smoke and choose not to
Plan Alternatives
Drink water, especially out of a sip bottle Play with "worry stones" or other small objects Take a walk Chew gum Take a shower Go someplace where smoking isn't allowed, such as the movies or the library Call a friend, or be with others who don't smoke Learn to identify what you need at that moment—to be alone or to talk, for example Stay positive.

Celebrate your successCelebrate your success
Mark each milestone you reach in some way
Calculate the amount of money you haven't spent on cigarettes. You may want
to use a glass jar to save the money you would have spent on tobacco, then
spend it on something special
Treat yourself to something fun, such as a movie or coffee with a friend
Each day, watch for the best thing that happens to you because you're not
smoking. Maybe you can walk up the stairs without getting winded, or eat in the
nonsmoking section of a restaurant
Ask your family and friends to celebrate with you
