special significance is ben's a firey which is one of the known cancer producing agents as the tobacco burns it reaches temperatures at high a sixteen hundred degrees fahrenheit and this process causes physical and chemical changes and then it the teen stars and other substances most of these products are gaseous at high temperatures and they become part of the smoke that is carried into the respiratory passages and it's hard to the mucous membrane and the tissue foremost among these substances is carbon monoxide which is the killer in automobile ex in order to illustrate the armful of acts of even small amounts of carbon monoxide on the body let's take a look at the breeding cycle when you bring you clean air oxygen enters the lungs where it finds its way to the red car possibles of the bloodstream the heart then pumps the blood to the body's cells which in turn utilize the oxygen as you smoke carbon monoxide the poisonous gas we have mentioned is attracted to the red car costs just as the oxygen was only more strongly these carbon monoxide molecules take over some of the rent car puzzles decreasing the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen to the tissue in other words they prevent the oxygen from reaching the red blood cell thereby reducing the oxygen transportation five to fifteen percent this is one of the reasons why this smoker cannot run this past year as far as he could if he didn't smoke another bad actor in cigarettes is nicotine regulates the heartbeat and breathing in addition nicotine causes the small blood vessels to get smaller or constrict there is substantial evidence six feet long every day or one about the i'm on the real presence smoking or the cancer is known as a carcinogen the cancer producing agents found in the tires condensed out of the tobacco smoke and deposited into the brumfield tubes leading to the lung and with the person's poison ranks with cyanide this residue is made up of nicotine and tar a portion of which gets into your lungs every time you smoke a cigarette you smoke a pack and a half of cigarettes a drum fortunately man is many times larger than a mouse for that amount of nicotine would kill him just like it kills the mothers now our bodies have the ability to increase tolerance to these properly for instance we know that heart action is definitely impaired and this increases the danger of heart disease through smoking stomach ulcers are aggravated healing is delayed and the ulcers may become malignant current research indicates that many other organs and tissues of the body are at bursley affected by the use of tobacco and of course you've just seen what an important part smoking plays in the causing of lung cancer yes dot i read that there really hasn't been an increase in lung cancer only our more complete diagnosis now we'll admit that some lung cancer may have been poorly diagnosed in the past but in the year nine hundred twelve there were only two hundred seventy six known cases of lung cancer in the whole united states today it kills more than thirty five thousand americans every year now the statistics show the interesting parallel between the increase in tobacco consumption and the increase in lung cancer notice the similarity in the two you i think will fillers might help except for two things the added cigarette lengths means that the smoker usually smokes the cigarette nearly down to the filler and thus he gets all of the nicotine in the tar that he would normally throw away with a longer cigarette butt and secondly no one has yet produced a filter that removes all of the poison from the smoke as cancer is concerned not everyone's going to get it there appears to be susceptibility to it and there's the time factor involved cancer usually strikes in the fifty's of course the problem is you don't know whether you're one of those people who will get cancer and tell you got or it's got to you and then it may be too late as for those old  less sensitive to tobacco poison trouble is no one knows where there is sensitive or not smoking is sort of like playing russian roulette or to call dr ochsner tobacco is a loaded pistol and time pulls the trigger now man the american cancer society recently made a study based upon the the smoking habits of a hundred eighty thousand american men and concluded that smokers of two or more packs of cigarettes per day have a death for eight hundred twenty three percent higher than nonsmokers in other words by the time of the media age of sixty nine is reaching for every ten nonsmokers who have died twenty two heavy smokers will have died and seventeen light smokers will have  this means the average heavy smoker two packs a day well dire on the age of fifty eight years while the average nonsmoker will last until age sixty nine now the value of this thousand men was twice as high as indicated by these headstones among smokers as nonsmokers and get this they rate of deaths from lung cancer was twenty times higher than among nonsmokers now man these findings are being sent to your doctor and to every private then public health service in this country not only our own government but other governments are concerned about the rising incidence in lung cancer and they are publishing warnings to cigarette smokers about the risks they are taking when they smoke for the governments of britain and australia recently engaged in a course campaign against the use of tobacco and in sweden and astri the local school authorities are actively advising their young people not to take up smoking now friends government agencies and doctors can advise point of the way but after all what you do with your own life is up to you or you have the facts so start to think for yourself get smart tobacco  sure it may be hard to quit but you can if you really want to know most of you can have a second chance if you'll stop smoking today  promise you if you do your food will taste your breath will be sweet your eyes will be clear and your whole body will function better in short you will live
