Why is smoking harmful?
Smokes, ciggies, durries, darts (cigarettes) are addictive because they have nicotine inside of them.
When you light up a cigarette, you breathe in more than 4,000 dangerous chemicals and get trapped in your lungs.
These chemicals are similar to ones found in everyday items, like:
- Nail polish remover
- Rat poison
- Rubber cement
- Lighter fluid
- Car exhaust fumes.
Having these chemicals in our bodies is very unsafe.
