10 Damaging Effects of Cigarette Smoking

If a SMOKER has NO SINGLE VALID REASON TO SMOKE, I have a MILLION REASONS NOT TO SMOKE and to conduct an AGGRESSIVE ANTI-SMOKING CAMPAIGN.

Are you a SMOKER? Do you have BUSINESS related to CIGARETTES OR SMOKING? Are you working for the TOBACCO INDUSTRY? Do you own a cigarette-manufacturing company? Are you a farmer or land owner who plant and harvest TOBACCO PRODUCTS? Are you a member of the LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY who tolerates SMOKING in PUBLIC PLACES? Are you an owner of the PUBLIC ESTABLISHMENT who do not have "NO SMOKING" signage and tolerate SMOKING within your place?
Please READ and know the DAMAGES that you are BRINGING to YOURSELF, TO OTHER PEOPLE, TO THE HUMANITY and to our WORLD...

I am doing the CAMPAIGN because I care for the HUMANITY and our WORLD...


1. HEALTH HAZARD TO THE SMOKER


Lung cancer and other types of cancers are mainly due to CIGARETTE SMOKING. Serious heart ailments are also products of SMOKING. 10 Filipinos die every hour due to CIGARETTE SMOKING.

2. SECONDHAND SMOKE TO PEOPLE AROUND THE SMOKER


Aside from damaging himself or herself, the smoker also brings the same or even more damage to the non-smokers especially children due to passive or secondhand smoke.

3. THIRD-HAND SMOKE DUE TO RESIDUE AND SMELL OF TOBACCO SMOKE


SMOKING has NEGATIVE EFFECTS even after the act of smoking. The cigarette butts being thrown everywhere, the cigarette ashes being scattered by irresponsible smokers and the smell of the tobacco smoke from clothes and other items cause damage to other people.

4. BAD INFLUENCE TO OTHER PEOPLE ESPECIALLY TO MINORS


An individual who is smoking being witnessed by other people especially by children is already bringing damage by displaying a bad habit that can be perceived as good activity in the eyes of children. 

5. ADDITIONAL AIR, WATER AND LAND POLLUTION


According to study, TOBACCO SMOKE brings 10 times more damage to our environment than vehicle exhausts and other smokes.

6. ADDITIONAL GARBAGE


Plastic packaging, cigarette butts and other materials are contributory to our garbage problems that cause floods and other man-made calamities.

7. UGLY ENVIRONMENT

The presence of cigarette butts being thrown everywhere by irresponsible and unethical smokers transform our beautiful world into ugly garbage bin.

8. WASTE OF RESOURCES


Especially with the passage of SIN TAX LAW, smoking is a waste of hard-earned money that can be utilized for important purposes. If you get sick due to smoking, large amount of money is needed for hospitalization, medicines and productivity (you cannot work or do business if you are sicked). Smoking is also a waste of TIME and EFFORT.

9. TOLERATING UNETHICAL INDUSTRY TO EXIST AND IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH FROM EVIL PRODUCTS


Patronizing harmful products such as cigarettes makes the evil men and women wealthy that creates a dangerous world.


10. MAN-MADE DISASTERS SUCH AS FIRE

Everyday should be fire prevention day. There are numerous cases of damaging fire incidents due to smoking or burning cigarettes thrown into light materials.
