Air Polltion

It is fairly obvious that smoking pollutes the air and quite often the ground. However, it is not always obvious how or how much smoking pollutes. Cigarettes contain over 4000 chemicals which are exhaled and released into the air and the atmosphere. Approximately 30% of North Americans are smokers, and the percentage goes much higher in developing countries, which means there is a massive amount of pollution being released into the air every day. Trees are often compared to the lungs in our bodies because they perform basically the same functions as our lungs do on a global scale. With all of the pollutants that the trees filter out for us already it seems almost crazy to add more to the air that doesn't need to be added. We need to breathe, but no one needs to smoke.

Ground Pollution

The pollution caused by cigarettes does not stop in our bodies or the air; it also affects the land we live on and the water that we drink. Millions of cigarette butts are discarded onto the ground every day. Every year in California the state has a statewide cleanup and cigarette butts account for almost half of the waste that is collected. These are only the ones that are picked up in one state and millions more are never picked up. They end up in the rivers and lakes where fish and animals eat them by mistake and quite often die from it. The rest are left on the ground to decompose which will take an average of 25 years while all of the chemicals and additives leach into the ground and pollute the soil and the plants. If you are going to smoke please consider this information before your throw your cigarette butts on the ground. It looks unattractive, it is a major fire hazard in dry weather, and it is extremely harmful to the environment.

Cigarette and Tobacco Production

Probably the most impacting aspect of cigarettes is actually producing them. There is the land used to grow the crops all over the world that could be put to better use by planting more trees or food for starving children in third world countries. These crops are also often sprayed with a lot of harmful pesticides and chemicals because tobacco is a very fragile plant and is likely to pick up disease. It also takes a lot of trees to produce and package cigarettes. Cigarette manufacturing uses four miles of paper an hour just for rolling and packaging cigarettes. One tree is wasted for every three hundred cigarettes produced. Those trees could be filtering out the pollutants already in the air instead of being chopped down for the cause of adding new ones. There is still the energy and water wasted in manufacturing cigarettes that needs to be considered and with soil depletion and chemical wastage added on top of that it becomes clear that manufacturing cigarettes has an enormous strain on the environment.

Manufactures

The tobacco industry is quite unwilling to use better technology to reduce the impact they are having on the environment because it would take up too much of their billions of dollars in profit every year. They are often trying to have more trees planted, but since they use trees to dry the tobacco and for rolling and packaging it is probably not concern for the environment, but concern for losing their wood sources that encourage them to do this. They do not care about polluting our bodies so it seems unlikely that they would think twice about polluting our environment. The only way to stop them from harming the environment is to stop buying their products. Quitting smoking is hard, but it can be done and it's not only about the harm smokers are doing to their own bodies, it's also about the harm they are doing to the earth and the pain that they are causing their friends and families.For help and tips to quit smoking take a look here or speak to a health care professional.

Green Smoke for Green Future  	
''Smoking-related illnesses claim more lives than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide and illegal drugs combined.'' All smokers saw before the image of a lung of a smoker.Cigarettes are full with poisons,hundreds of them: Tar,Carbon-Monoxide,Carcinogens - to mention a few.Why would anyone want to put that in his/her body?!

Well at first it might be fun or taste good, but the main reason that people continue smoking, is that cigarettes contain nicotine.Nicotine is harmless by itself, the only thing about it,is that it is addictive. That is why smokers have a hard time kicking the habit.
This is what the cancer society has to say about nicotine: "Many people mistakenly think that nicotine is the substance in tobacco that causes cancer. This belief may cause some people to avoid using nicotine replacement therapy when trying to quit. Although nicotine is what gets (and keeps) people addicted to tobacco, other substances in tobacco are responsible for its cancer-causing effects."
We know it is very hard to kill the addiction,but GreenSmoke does offer a safe alternative.


WHAT IS GREEN SMOKE?
Green Smoke is a revolutionary new nicotine delivery system that provides a healthier alternative to traditional cigarette smoking.  With traditional cigarettes, the smoker is forced to inhale thousands of unwanted chemicals and carcinogens along with the nicotine.  With Green Smoke, this is a thing of the past!

The Green Smoke electronic cigarette delivers only the nicotine.  No carcinogens... No tar... No carbon monoxide. Feel refreshed yet?  You should because  the "Green" in Green Smoke  means that the nicotine is delivered in a completely clean and odorless vapor.

    Go from this...............To this
                in under a year!
FACT: Smokers often feel that they blow out most of the smoke they take in. In reality, however, they exhale only 10% of what they inhale. That means 90% of what you puff is lodged in your lungs!
A secret combination of the right food supplements, vitamins and exercise can rinse out the toxins from your lungs in less than 1 year!

Help your lungs go from black and clogged to pink and healthy in under a year!
If you've been smoking for more than a year now, your lungs would look like the chimney of a factory - charred and black with smoke, dirty with sticky residue of nicotine and tar.

Doctors and med magazines tell you that it would normally take you fifteen smoke-free years to get your lungs looking pink and healthy again...That's true - to an extent.

But the scientific community has missed a small but vital link that's staring them in the face!
