lemme see.... after a year of smoking a pack a day, you have 1 quart of tar in your lungs, not to mention really stained teeth.
you can get luekoplakia (sp?) and it's this white fungus stuff that grows in your bronchial tubes and your gums...
there's over 2000 chemicals in every cigarette (arsenic, nicotine, and a whole bunch more)
the filtered cigarettes don't help very much, and they don't help secondhand smokers at all.

MFS answered Wednesday July 7 2004, 12:54 pm: What do need to cover? The physical addiction? Chemical addiction? The dangers of smoking? Stats on cancer risk? Emphysema? Athsma? Tobacco company marketing habits? Genetic manipulation of tobacco crops to increase nicotine content? There's a lot of things that one could cover with such a general topic.
