http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/sgr/sgr_2004/sgranimation/brain_effects.html

from quitsmoking.about.com:

How Cigarettes Harm Us - From Head to Toe
Tobacco use plays a role in many diseases which ultimately lead to death or disability. With over 4000 chemical compounds present in the inhaled smoke, several of which are known carcinogens, it's no wonder that the effects of smoking are so destructive.

What are the two big diseases you think of being related to smoking? Chances are they are lung cancer and emphysema, neither of which is the number one killer of smokers. Heart disease holds first place. Researchers report that worldwide, there were 1,690,000 premature deaths from cardiovascular disease among smokers in the year 2000. In contrast, there were “only” 850,000 lung cancer deaths from smoking in the same year.

The effects of smoking hold additional risks for women. Those who smoke throughout their pregnancies increase the risk of:
Spontaneous abortion/miscarriage
Ectopic pregnancy
Abruptio placentae
Placenta previa
Premature rupture of the membranes
Premature birth
Risks to the fetus include:
Smaller infant(for gestational age)
Stillborn infant
Birth defects, e.g.


Effects of Smoking

congenital limb reduction
Increased nicotine receptors in baby's brain
Increased likelihood of child smoking as a teenager
Possible physical and mental long-term effects
Let's take a look at how tobacco affects us from head to toe. You'll probably be surprised by at least a few of the things on the following list that occur due to tobacco.

Hair:
Smell and staining

Brain and Mental Effects:
Stroke(cerebrovascular accidents)
Addiction/withdrawal
Altered Brain chemistry
Anxiety about harm caused by smoking

Eyes:
Eyes sting, water and blink more
Blindness(macular degeneration)
Cataracts

Nose:
Less sense of smell

How smoking affects the heart, lungs, teeth, bones and more...

I think the fuzzy bears are hallucinations.

And you are my favourite person named "KC."

KC - THE CARE BEARS AND CRAP IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS i HAVE HAD WITH ANY TYPE OF HELP GROUPS. aLL THAT TOUCHY-FEELY STUFF MAKES ME WANT TO HIT SOMEONE, AND THAT IS STONE COLD SOBER, NOT HAVING SMOKED FOR YEARS...i GUESS IT IS SORT OF APPROPITE THAT i ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE CAPS.
:angry:

Somehow it is hard to maintin my tough, bounty-hunter, mercenary self-image when I don't smoke, I don't drink, I no longer curse as much and I am a saty-at-home-mom.... I need to go to the gun range.

Thats so funny....Amy with a gun...that reminds me...a while back I had my 2 year old nephew over we were out front and I decided I was gonna mow the grass..so I open the garage and wheeled out the lawn mower...and my nephew TOOK OFF...didn't cry just turned around and hauled a$$...I thought it was hysterical...so Amy with a gun would be like me with power tools....I can just see people scattering like cockroaches....

And yes...the smoking cessation forum was a bust...whole lotta holdin hands and talkin about how you have the right to boo hoo all the time...nice thought just not for me.
