Stop Smoking For Good And Live
Stop smoking for good and live. God is the owner of our lives, and we are only its stewards. Our body is the temple of God, and the Holy Spirit dwells in us. Whoever destroys this temple, God will also destroy. So stop smoking now and stop sinning against God.
Nicotine in tobacco and cigarette is an insidious drug that destroys the body. Cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals including 400 toxins and 43 cancer-causing or carcinogenic substances. Why smoke and poison yourself to death slowly? This is similar to committing suicide which is a sin against God.
Filtered cigarette is just a marketing ploy to deceive people that cigarette is safe to smoke. This process makes cigarette more bitter, and to correct this, 600 chemicals are added to the cigarette. Some of these additives are potent toxic chemicals such as cadmium, benzene, nickel, napthalene, formaldehyde, arsenic, lead, cyanide, DDT, polonium, and many more.
Cadmium is used in batteries. It is carcinogenic and can damage the liver and the kidneys. Benzene, which is used in making dyes and synthetic rubber reduces the red blood count in the body and is harmful to the bone marrow. Large quantities of nickel increase the risk of prostate cancer, nose cancer, larynx cancer and lung cancer.
Napthalene, a common ingredient in mothballs destroys the red blood cells and can cause hemolytic anemia. Formaldehyde, which is used as an industrial fungicide, germicide, and disinfectant is commonly used in embalming corpses. It causes leukemia and nasopharyngeal cancer. Arsenic, used in rat poisons, can damage the brain that can result to death.
Cyanide is an extremely deadly poison. It is used in the manufacture of paper, plastics, textiles, and in the developing of photographs. It causes rapid heart rate, headaches, nausea and vomiting. Exposure to large amount can cause low blood pressure, loss of consciousness, lung injury, and respiratory failure leading to death.
DDT is a banned insecticide used in malaria control that is linked to diabetes, infertility, endocrine disruption, miscarriage, breast cancer, and other diseases. It damages the DNA to start mutation resulting to carcinogenesis. Polonium is extremely dangerous and intensely radioactive element. It is the primary cause of more than 20,000 deaths due to lung cancer in the US every year.
The above chemicals are among the 400 toxins found in cigarettes. These are proven facts that cannot be disproved. But most smokers are not convinced that cigarette is dangerous to their health because they are still alive after years of smoking. It is not because cigarette is not harmful to health that you still exist, but because God in his mercy has given you a body with much tolerance and leeway to withstand the abuses that you may ignorantly do to it.
Why poison yourself to death when life is worth living? Your family and loved ones need you. The New Year is coming. This is the high time to firmly resolve to stop smoking for good. Throw your cigarettes away, and live a healthy life.
