Visit our cessation section to learn more about how to escape this hidden trap of tobacco use. Smoking is not about looking cool or having fun, it is about addiction to the drug nicotine. It says so right on the pack. Cancer is the cells of your body going wild. They grow out of control, causing pain, loss of mobility, damage to the surrounding tissue and many times, death.
Cancer is a very nasty, painful, and horrible way to die.
When someone dies of cancer, it is a closed-casket funeral. That diease can chew you up and spit you out, like you did with the tobacco that caused the cancer in the first place. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person's life, normal cells divide more rapidly until the person becomes an adult. After that, normal cells of most tissues divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells and to repair injuries.
