Smoking is one of the worst things kids or adults can do to their bodies. Yet every single day about 3,900 kids between the ages 12 and 17 start smoking.

There are no physical reasons to start smoking. The body doesn't need tobacco the way it needs food, water, sleep, and exercise. And many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are actually poisons that can kill in high enough doses.

Over the long term, smoking leads people to develop health problems like heart disease, stroke, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), and many types of cancer — including lung, throat, stomach, and bladder cancer.]]> 2016-06-14 15:07:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dominika_stec1999/w0376edgln3o/wish/114621981 dominika_stec1999 https://padlet.com/dominika_stec1999/w0376edgln3o/wish/114622042 People who smoke can develop skin problems like psoriasis (a type of rash), and are more likely to get wrinkles. ]]> 2016-06-14 15:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dominika_stec1999/w0376edgln3o/wish/114622042 dominika_stec1999 https://padlet.com/dominika_stec1999/w0376edgln3o/wish/114622338 The consequences of smoking may seem very far off, but long-term health problems aren't the only hazard of smoking. Nicotine and the other toxins in cigarettes, cigars, and pipes can affect a person's body quickly, which means that teen smokers experience many of these problems:]]> 2016-06-14 15:10:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dominika_stec1999/w0376edgln3o/wish/114622338 dominika_stec1999 https://padlet.com/dominika_stec1999/w0376edgln3o/wish/114622385

Bad breath. Cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent bad breath.

Bad-smelling clothes and hair. The smell of stale smoke tends to linger — not just on people's clothing, but on their hair, furniture, and cars. And it's often hard to get the smell of smoke out.

Reduced athletic performance. People who smoke usually can't compete with nonsmoking peers because the physical effects of smoking (like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath) impair sports performance.

Greater risk of injury and slower healing time. Smoking affects the body's ability to produce collagen, so common sports injuries, such as damage to tendons and ligaments, will heal more slowly in smokers than nonsmokers.

Increased risk of illness. Studies show that smokers get more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia than nonsmokers. And people with certain health conditions, like asthma, become more sick if they smoke. Because teens who smoke as a way to manage weight often light up instead of eating, their bodies also lack the nutrients they need to grow, develop, and fight off illness properly.
