Hello and welcome back to this Stop Smoking Audio series,
Brought to you by Easily Stop Smoking.com
This week I just want to remind you why you are here, listening to this course and choosing to change your life for the better by giving up smoking. Listen to some of the following extremely frightening FACTS and you will see exactly why a life with cigarettes is not really a life at all…
(Please invite your friends and family to listen to this issue too, it is stuff ALL smokers need to hear)
Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of premature death and disability in the United States and the same goes for most countries around the world.
Every year, 350,000 Americans die prematurely from diseases caused by cigarette smoking -- such as lung cancer, emphysema, and coronary heart disease.
Nicotine addiction is the "most widespread example of drug dependence in our country," according to the U.S. Public Health Service.
Three-quarters of the adults who currently smoke started their habit before the age of 21; teenage years are critical ones in the habituation of cigarette smokers and the tobacco companies know this only too well.
Nine out of ten smokers say they want to quit. (We think the other 10% are liars!!)
The number of Americans who have quit smoking is rising steadily. To date, 36 million Americans have quit smoking.
Smoking accounts for 85-90 percent of emphysema mortality in America . Once a disease that affected exclusively men, one in four emphysema deaths now occurs among women.
Lung cancer, already the number one cause of cancer mortality in American men, in 1986 surpassed breast cancer as the leading cancer of American women.
In 1985 lung cancer killed an estimated 38,600 women -- approximately 84 percent of the 46,000 women who were diagnosed with the disease that year.
Smokers who have a heart attack have less chance for survival than a person who does not smoke. And by continuing to smoke after a heart attack, the person's chance for a second attack increases.
Smoking has severe economic consequences for the nation, estimated at a staggering $53.7 billion in total annual costs. Direct costs account for $30.4 billion of the total; there is an additional annual cost of $23.3 billion in lost productivity due to excess morbidity and mortality.
Smoking is a major risk factor for peripheral vascular disease. This disease is a narrowing of blood vessels that carry blood to the leg and arm muscles. If a blood clot blocks an already narrowed artery, then the result could be the damage or even the loss of an arm or leg.
In the year 2000-2001, New York alone collected 999 million dollars in cigarette taxes.
In the US , an average carton of cigarettes sells for around $50. 25 % of smokers travel to Indian reservations to buy cigarettes. On reservations these cartons of cigarettes sell for $10 for generic brands and $30 for premium brands.
“Why?” you might ask….Our answer? The laws of marketing….
“Price a product to achieve the greatest profits, whilst ensuring it is at a level the target market can afford”. And the long term profits from all these new lifelong smokers will be immense, so it is worth sacrificing a few short term profits to guarantee greater long term ones. Of course that is just our opinion, and I am sure the tobacco companies have a much more ethical basis for such actions!
Tobacco companies have the patents for less dangerous cigarettes that they never use.
The European Union spends around 1 billion Euros a year subsidising tobacco companies.
Tobacco companies spend $350,000,000 to $550,000,000 a year sponsoring Formula One racing, a globally popular sport.
Half of all smokers will eventually die as a result of their smoking.
If current global smoking habits continue, about 500 million people currently alive, (nearly 9% of the world's population), will eventually die as a result of tobacco.
People who die from tobacco smoking do not die only in old age. About half of all smokers who are killed by tobacco die in middle age. On average, these smokers who die in middle age lose about 20-25 years off their lives.
It is estimated that 1 BILLION people will die from smoking in the 21 st century.
The cigarette is the only legally available product in the United States that when “used as directed” will kill the user and injure others.
Tobacco products are the only retail products in the US which are not required by the Food and Drug Administration to list ingredients on packaging. With thousands of toxic compounds inside each cigarette it is hard to see why these are exempt whilst a chocolate cake must list how much Cocoa and sugar content there is inside!
Tobacco smoking is responsible for 1 in 10 adult deaths worldwide.
Half the people that are smoking today, approximately 650 million people will eventually be killed by cigarette smoking.
So, do you still feel like a Hollywood star for smoking? Or do you feel like the biggest fool on the planet? Only you know the answer to that, and only you can make sure you don't make the same mistake again. QUIT NOW AND QUIT FOR GOOD. It's the only answer which we both know makes any real sense.
