THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR PHYSICAL AND FINACIAL HEALTH THAN TO STOP SMOKING.

When you smoke - you inhale carbon monoxide. A single cigarette impairs the oxygen carrying capacity of your blood for nine hours. Nine hours times twenty cigarettes in a day leaves you with little oxygen for your body to run on. Imagine yourself as a brand new high performance engine. If you put a fouled air intake filter on that engine, how would it run? Very poorly, right? You couldn’t get enough oxygen into the motor for it to run right. When you smoke you can’t get the oxygen you need to make your body run right. It’s not that you just can’t do what you used to do, you just can’t get enough oxygen in to give you the energy to run on. More oxygen = better performance for both the man and the engine.

Cigarette smoking remains the most important cause of preventable disease and death. About 5 million people die annually from smoking. 3/4 of these are men. The leading causes of death from smoking were:

• Cardiovascular disease (1.6 million deaths)
• COPD, Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis (1 million deaths)
• Cancer (850,000 deaths)
