Must Know Facts About Toxins from Smoking and Natural Detox

I’m not about to get on the band wagon and start preaching about how smoking cigarettes impacts your health and your natural detox system - in my opinion it’s a persons own choice whether they smoke or not, and we don’t need “Big Brother” telling us what we should and shouldn’t do. But I would like to arm you with some facts about all the things that can cause us harm, and more specifically how they do it.
So here’s a must-know fact about smoking:

Cigarettes contain up 600 additives and when these are set on fire, the smoke the produce contains over 4000 chemicals. Of these chemicals, over 50 are known to be cancer forming.

They include radioactive Polonium-210, which is found in tobacco that is grown in fields which were fertilized with phosphates, and a gas called Zyklon B, which was used by the Nazis for mass extermination in the death camp gas chambers.

So there’s some pretty nasty stuff in there. I know it’s not easy, as I live with an ex-smoker, but it’s worth trying everything you can to at least cut down if you’re a smoker.
