THE BAD NEWS:

Smoking is responsible for nearly 1 in 5 deaths in the United States. Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death in our society. About half of all Americans who continue to smoke will die because of the habit. Cigarettes fill more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined. Only about half of the deaht related to smoking are from cancer. Smoking is also a major cause of heart disease, aneurysms, bronchitis, emphysema, and stoke, and it makes pneuomona and asthma worse. Using tobacco can also damage a woman's reproductive health. Tobacco use is linked with reduced fertility and a higher risk of miscarriage, early delivery (premature birth), stillbirth, infant death, and is the cause of low birth weight in infants.  Smoking has also been linked to other health problems, including gum disease, cataracts, bone thinning, hip fractures, and peptic ulcers. It is also linked to macular degeneration, an eye disease that can cause blindness.
