NOT FOR ANYONE WITH A WEAK STOMACH
Did you know smoking has been known to cause all these diseases and conditions, plus many more?

 For a close up view, rollover image!

	Black Lung This is what your lungs would look like after smoking for ten years... Yuck! Years of sucking in tar and lead and poison finally took it's toll.
	Cataracts Pictured on top, a cataract causes the eye's lens to turn white. Dead cells around the eyes build up clouding the lens and making it harder to focus and see clearly.
	Chronic Bowel Disease Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation of the lining of the large intestine.Crohn's disease causes inflammation of the lining and wall of the large and/or small intestine. When inflamed, the lining of the intestinal wall is red and swollen, becomes ulcerated, and bleeds.
	Coronary Heart Disease The artery on the top is from a normal non-smoker...the one on the bottom was taken from a 38 year old smoker. Smoking leaves so much toxic garbage in your arteries that your heart has to work ten times as hard to keep you alive.
	Esophageal Cancer this is cancer of the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach. It can cause difficulty swallowing, or the sticking of food before it gets into the stomach. It can lead to death.
	Gangrene The heavy chemicals in cigarette smoke go from the lungs to the bloodstream and clog up arteries. So, smokers often get cold hands and feet. When it gets really bad, the blood is completely cut off causing gangrene. The treatment for gangrene is amputation (removing the affected areas).
	Kidney Cancer Kidney cancer pictured on top forms from cells in the lining of the kidney walls. Pictured on the bottom is a healthy kidney. Kidney cancer often spreads to the bones and lungs.
	Larynx Cancer This smoker had his trachea removed and this steel device inserted into his throat to allow him to breathe.
	Lip Cancer Years of smoking cigarettes and cigars has left these tobacco addicts with cancer on his lip.
	Lung Cancer If you smoke every day over a period of several years, cells in your lungs could divide too rapidly and form masses known as tumors. Tumors may invade or destroy normal tissue and require removal by surgery. It can lead to death
	Pancreatic Cancer Pictured on top is a close-up image of pancreatic cancer. On the bottom is a picture of a normal pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most serious and deadly of all cancers. As with many cancers, pancreatic cancer can spread to other parts of your body. The life expectancy of a person diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is approximately three months.
	Peripheral Vascular Disease This refers to diseases of blood vessels outside the heart and brain. It's often a narrowing of vessels that carry blood to the legs, arms, stomach or kidneys. Sometime is can result in losing a limb.
	Periondontitis The picture on top shows serious gum disease called Periondontitis. Spaces develop between the gums and the teeth causing inflammation, loss of bone around the teeth, and progressive infection. If left untreated it can cause teeth to drift apart and fall out. On the bottom is a healthy mouth.
	Skin Wrinkling Sure we all get wrinkles if we live long enough. But ever notice how smokers age faster? A 35 year old smoker looks like she's 45. This woman is only 52 years old!
	Smokers Palette The roof of this smokers mouth is being eaten away by toxic cigarette smoke.
	Tooth Loss and Decay Smoking leaves tar and nicotine stains everywhere it goes.
