•Lead – used in batteries
•Methanol – a main component in rocket fuel
•Nicotine – used as insecticide
•Tar – material for paving roads
•Toluene - used to manufacture paint

paralyzing and
destroying cilia
Tar damages
a smoker’s
respiratory
system by
destroying the

damaging lung
tissue
Lungs
Smokers cause severe damage to their
lungs.
Compare the healthy lung on the left with
the one damaged by tobacco on the right.

carbon monoxide than cigarettes
 Increased risk of lip, mouth and throat cancer
 Smokeless Tobacco
 Delivers higher levels of nicotine
 Increased cases of cancers of
the throat, larynx, esophagus,
stomach and pancreas
Short Term Effects
 Changes in brain chemistry
 Increased respiration and heart rate
 Dulled taste buds and reduced appetite
 Bad breath and smelly hair, clothes and skin

The most serious complications — including stillbirth,
premature delivery, and low birth weight

pounds at birth. Smoking also more than doubles the risk of
stillbirth.

that provide an alternative way to receive nicotine
Also referred to as “Vapes” or “Vaping”
E-cigarettes work by heating a liquid cartridge containing
nicotine, flavors, and other chemicals into an inhalable vapor
Flavors, such as “gummy bear,” “cotton candy,” and “bubble
gum” are designed to encourage teenagers to try e-cigarettes
E-cigarette sales may exceed those of traditional cigarettes
within 10 years
At least 1 in 5 smokers has tried e-cigarettes, as have 10
percent of U.S. high school students, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

CONVENTIONAL CIGARETTES?
 The key difference between conventional and e-cigarettes is
that e-cigarettes don’t contain tobacco
 FACT: It isn’t just the tobacco in cigarettes that causes cancer.
 Conventional cigarettes contain a laundry list of chemicals
that are proven harmful, and e-cigarettes have some of
these same chemicals.
 Nicotine is one of the chemicals found in both conventional and
e-cigarettes.
 Highly addictive and has been shown to reduce bone
health.5
 An analysis of e-cigarettes by the FDA in 2009 found that they
“contained detectable levels of known carcinogens and toxic
chemicals to which users could be exposed
