Out of the 2.4 million deaths in the US, 480,000 of those deaths are caused by smoking. 90% of males with lung cancer develop it because they smoked. Smokers have a higher risk of developing bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and many others. Nordqvist, Christian. "Why Is Smoking Bad For You?" Medical News Today. MediLexicon International, n.d.

Nicotine is a chemical that gets people addicted. When nicotine gets to your brain, it creates adrenaline. This adrenaline creates a buzz of pleasure. This buzz leaves quickly, so people want to keep on getting it. This s how the addiction starts.

Blood pressure and heart rate are usually high in smokers. By quitting, they can go back to normal. The levels of carbon monoxide go down as well. The taste senses get better and wheezing stops.
