This is my website about Tobacco and it effects. After searching the internet, i have found many amzing facts about Tobacco. Here are some of the facts:

"500,000 Deaths from Legal Drugs Every year, 8,000 to 14,000 people die from illegal drugs in this country. Every year, over 500,000 people die from legal drugs (Tobacco, liquor and prescriptions). This is roughly a fifty to one ratio. Alcohol alone is involved in seven times more violent crimes than all illegal substances combined. Yet our Government continues to hugely subsidize alcohol and tobacco, while demonizing those who would exercise a different choice."

* Tobacco kills about 390,000 people each year.

"People who begin smoking before age 13 are significantly more likely than nonsmokers and those who begin smoking later to have drug and alcohol problems, according to an article published in the journal, Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. "

"There are 47 million school age kids in America, currently over 27 million of them try drugs and alcohol each year."

"Tobacco kills more people each year than all of the people killed by all of the illegal drugs in the last one hundred years. "

* 3000 youth become addicted to tobacco each day in the United States.

"Cigarette smoking causes more deaths than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, illegal drugs, and fires - combined."

"Over 70% of adolescent smokers wish they had never started smoking in the first place. "

"Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including ammonia (floor/toilet cleaner), arsenic (rat poison), formaldehyde (body tissue preserver), and hydrogen cyanide (gas chamber poison). "

"The World Health Organization has predicted that by the year 2025, 500 million people worldwide will have died from a tobacco-related illness. That is an entire Vietnam War every day for 27 years, or a Titanic sinking every 43 minutes for 27 years."
