There is no safe level of smoking

Did you know that?

1. men and women who smoked 1-4 cigarettes a day were almost three times as likely to die of coronary artery disease?
2. women smoking one to four cigarettes daily increased almost five times the chance of dying from lung cancer?
3. men who smoked one to four cigarettes daily were almost three times as likely to die by lung cancer?

Recent studies concluded that there is not a safe level for smoking as light smokers also had significantly higher death rates than those who had never smoked. This rate is 1.5 times higher generally.

Compared with those who had never smoked, it was also found that the men and women who smoked between one and four cigarettes a day increased almost three times the cahance to die of coronary artery disease.

Researches also concluded the only way to protect smokers from cancer, heart disease, and other killer diseases is to quit completely.

Light smoking is very dangerous, as well as heavy smoking, and no safe level exists.
