Please Quit Smoking..

Sunday, 5th December, 2010.

A US study has revealed that smoking cannabis increases the risk of cancer by suppresing our immune system. It has been found that the active compunds in cannabis suppress immune responses in our body and promote cancer growth.
So people who smoke a lot here is a warning for you.
 A  2002 report by the the British Lung Foundation estimated that three to four cannabis cigarettes a day were associated with the same amount of damage to the lungs as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day.
Compared to non smokers men who smoke have 23 times higher chances of having lung cancer and women who smoke have 13 times higher chances. Smoking causes 80% and 90% cancer deaths in women and men respectively.
Also, in 2003, 171900 new cases of lung cancer occured and approximately 157,200 people died from lung cancer.
So, by giving up smoking cannabis, tobacco, cigarettes or cigars we can prevent cancer and other harmful effects caused by them.
Please I request all those who smoke to atleast try giving up this habit.
Thanks :)
