Smoking is very bad for you. Tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and tobacco are the main contents of a cigarette. When you smoke you take in over 4,000 different chemicals.

Nicotine - Addictive Drug, keeps you hooked on smoking

Tar - Stains teeth, fingers and lungs, the tar paralyzes the cilla so it can't move, and keep the air ways clear, also the main chemical that causes CANCER!!!

Carbon Monoxide - Carbon monoxide takes over the blood's ability to carry oxygen to body tissues including vital organs such as the heart and brain.
