A Lit Cigarette Is A Loaded Gun!

A lit cigarette is a loaded gun for the smoker and for innocent bystander passersby. At first glance, you may just see a long slim rolled up piece of paper with smoke emitting from it, but when you stop and think about what a cigarette contains, you realize that it's far more than just a cigarette. Commercial cigarettes contain a minimum of 1,000 toxic carcinogenic chemicals and that's on the low end. All commercial cigarettes contain arsenic, cyanide, tar, nicotine, formaldehyde, ammonia, and a whole toxic soup of toxic chemicals. These are just a few of the toxic soup of chemicals that are found in a commercial cigarette. Now, think about all the smokers who are smoking these cigarettes and all the innocent bystander passersby who are forced to breathe the horrifying toxic unhealthy secondhand smoke, also known as environmental tobacco smoke, that is emitted from one of these cigarettes.

Next to toxic mainstream adulterated perfume and fragrance, the smoke that emanates from a commercial cigarette is one of the worst things you can possibly be exposed to. It's an asthmatic's worst nightmare and I speak from personal experience because I was raised by a family that was full of smokers and it's a miracle that I am able to breathe today! Please do the right thing and kick the nasty ugly habit and help your loved ones to do the same thing! If you don't smoke, good for you and please don't ever be tempted to light up! Go run around the block or exercise or clean your house instead, but please don't smoke! Be kind to your lungs and those around you.
