Go Smoke-free!

Never Take that First Puff

Most Americans in their late teens and early 20's think they can ward off at least some of the health hazards of smoking by switching to low-tar, low-nicotine cigarettes, by maintaining a healthful diet, or by getting regular exercise.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

There's so much in the media about the benefits of diet and exercise that people assume that diet and exercise will help them if they smoke. This is a big problem.

Eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise and fresh air are always good, and you wil look and feel healthier day to day, but the damage being done by the tobacco smoke is happening on another level.

Ingesting a Time-Bomb

Smoking can damage the genetic material in cells in many organs of the body. The damage is cumulative and irreversible, and evidence of it can take decades to emerge as a cancer.

The truth is: Smoking insideously does it damage from the very first puff...regardless of what cigarette you smoke, what you eat, or how much you exercise.

It's like ingesting a time bomb, set to surprise you at some time in the future when you least expect it...

and you don't even hear the ticking.
