I wrote this much of a list from the lung Dr's office. Several reasons to STOP SMOKING!
This is what the tobacco companies put in cigarettes to keep people hooked. This is a very scary list.

That's disgusting. I'm glad I quit. Six months as of today!
Niki CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Spread the word.
GG hugs,Vi
This is great information! Too bad they didn't put the word out years ago. Both of my parents are gone now due to health problems from smoking for 30+ years. They both said they thought it was so cool to smoke, and that no one ever warned them back in the day that it was not good for you. My girls will never smoke after watching their grandparents suffer.
I just told my husband about this and he said there is no way that the cigarette companies could put these things into cigarettes or they would be sued to death! It is regulated by the government. In April of 1994, the US Government Dept of Health and Human Services made the tobacco companies submit a list of ingredients in their cigarettes. They came back with 599 approved ingredients, but what they didn't do was test those ingredients by burning them.
I was a smoker also years ago but only smoked occasionally, now, not at all and can't stand the smell of it. Remember, nothing good comes from smoking cigarettes. Amen.
Even more scary.........I think some of these same ingridents are used for making METH. Now that should make anyone think twice.
I just started using the nicotene patch today. As I was sitting here, wanting to smoke but trying to keep my mind off of it, I ran across this post. Suddenly, I don't want to have a cigarette. Thanks! :)
Today is the first day that I have decided to make a change in my life about smoking. I had no idea that those type of ingredients where being used in cigarettes. I pulled a website that showed healthy lungs vs cancer lungs (people who died). Wow! that is how my lungs are looking or soon will be.
Yuk! I'm telling all my smoking relatives and co-workers about this. Maybe it'll give them an extra push to quit. All those poisons and chemicals! Ew ew ew.
i am a student doing a report on how bad cigarettes are for you and i have a question how could they put those poisons in cigarettes if they know people are smoking them?

At first fruits and vegetables; being picked un-ripe then placed in a ripening chamber, the other being 'nuked' and now ready for consumption.
Folks, lets roll up our sleeves, go back in time, and do important things ourselves. I believe, that most diseases and cancers are from a lack of valuable nutrition, too much sugar in our foods and drinks, and too many additives in everything else.
I was laying in the hospital from yet another bout with severe bronchitis, asthma and URI. Brought on by my best friend for 20 years. I am in my early 40's. I started late. Smoking became my go to whenever I was bored, sad, stressed, procrastinating, when I woke up, before I went to bed...Pretty much everything. As I laid there, uncomfortable hooked up to IV's, taking prednisone and anitibiotics. A show came on the TV. It was about an MRI experiment that did imaging for people suffering from drug addiction. The did MRI's of the brain and asked the recovering addicts to think of the reasons they wanted to/needed to quit. Then to think of the craving and want for drugs, they asked them to go to the point in their head of wanting to use. Then to again talk themselves down in their head and imagine feeling healthy and unchained and free of the addiction.
