Description

With this retractable tabletop banner, you’ll be able to provide your audience with a straightforward and thorough overview of tobacco in all of its forms. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States. The display begins by noting that tobacco is dried and ground up for use in products like cigarettes, snus, chew, and cigars. These products contain nicotine, which is incredibly addictive. It has been reported to be more addictive than heroin.

Tobacco use leads to a variety of problems.

It causes yellowed fingers, wrinkled skin, increased heart rate, bad breath, headaches, as well as slowed circulation. Those who have been using tobacco for a long time put themselves at risk for diseases like cancer, emphysema, heart disease, and kidney disease.

Cigarette smokers expose themselves to over 7,000 chemicals. Many of these chemicals are carcinogens and all of them are hazardous to your health. Cigarette smoke includes formaldehyde, ammonia, plus arsenic which is a known poison.

Unfortunately, it’s not just smokers who suffer the ill health effects of this terrible habit. Exposure to secondhand smoke causes over 48,000 deaths each year. 300,000 children exposed to secondhand smoke develop pneumonia and bronchitis every year.

One of the key factors in reducing the number of smokers has to do with prevention. About 99% of smokers start by the age of 26, so prevention efforts in the teen years and early adulthood are crucial.

In conclusion, the banner emphasizes that the best thing to do is to stay away from nicotine all together. Those who do want to quit smoking can find numerous resources to help them start living a healthier life.
