Do you really want to enjoy life, its riches, thrills and delights? Do you want to appreciate tantalizing aromas, the biting, crisp smell of fresh air, the spicy scents of nature? Then stop smoking! Give your lungs a chance to repair themselves.
An astonishing thing happens when people stop smoking. Lung damage is reversed when men and women stop smoking. Body defenses come into play and destroy pre-cancerous cells! The lungs gradually turn pink again. But just one or two cigarettes a day prevents the healing process and so does switching to pipes or cigars.
In 1604 James I, King of England published his famous Counterblast to Tobacco. He concluded the treatise by calling smoking "a costume lothsome to the eye, hatefull to the nose, harmefull to the braine, daungerous to the lungs and in the blacke stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stigian smoke of the pit that is bottomeless."
A colourful description, no doubt, But today smoking has been proved beyond the shadow of a doubt to be loathsome, harmful, dangerous to the lungs - a serious public health menace!
