There are about 1200 million (1.2 x
106) smokers worldwide and 15 billion
cigarettes are bought every day! Each
cigarette contains tobacco leaves which
are burned, and the smoker draws the
smoke from the burning leaves down
through their breathing system into their
lungs.
Tobacco smoke contains a cocktail of
more than 7000 chemicals. This
cocktail contains the addictive drug
nicotine, which makes people feel
relaxed and calm. It is this drug which
can make it very hard for people to give
up smoking, even when they know the
damage it can cause. The health
warnings on UK cigarette packets are
very clear but there are still around
100,000 deaths from smoking-related
diseases every year.
Smoking is bad for the health from the
very first cigarette, because some of the
chemicals in the smoke have an
immediate effect on your body. Carbon
monoxide from the smoke is taken into
the blood instead of oxygen. The cells
get less oxygen for respiration as a
result, then one is more likely to get
breathless when exercising.
Tobacco also leads to Lung cancer.
Lung cancer is a disease characterized
by uncontrolled cell growth in tissues of
the lung. If left untreated, this growth
can spread beyond the lung in a process
called metastasis into nearby tissue
and, eventually, into other parts of the
body.
With these observations, some Nigerian
celebrities are still ignoring the health
implications of this killer substance.
Majority of these artistes, when they are
about going on stage, they take as
much quantity as they can just to keep
them fit for a long time while performing
on stage. Some go as far as sweating
unnecessarily.
Here are few list;
Majek Fashek, Kcee, Davido, Dammy
Krane, Wizkid, Samklef, Terry G, Phyno,
Olamide, Reminice, Wande Coal, General
pipe, Mallam Spicy, W4, Oritse Femi,
