*The average smoker(30 cigerettes per day) has 4 to 6 times the chance of having disease if he's in the 45-54 year age group.

*if the mother smoked during pregnancy.her baby will average 6 ounces less and its pulse will be 30% faster than a non-smoker's baby. and there'll be withdrawal symptoms in the baby after birth.Permature birth has been related to smoking by the mother.Ther is a direct link between parents' smoking and children's respiratory disease.

*A smoker needs much more food and sleep since nicotine makes his body work harder and less efficiently and his heart beat faster,thus using more fuel and energy .This,together with the fact that a smoker loses much of his appetite and his taste for food,explains why smokers have less trouble keeping their weight down.when one quits smoking,it's IMPERATIVE that the intake of food is drastically reduced in order to keep the body weight normal.having to eat less is of course an additional saving of time and money.
