Cost to Society
Every pack of cigarettes sold in the U.S. costs the
community $7.18 in medical care costs and lost
productivity
It is estimated $200 million is spent each year to treat
tobacco related diseases
$75 billion in direct medical costs associated with
tobacco use each year in U.S.
$82 billion unrealized due to loss of productivity as a
result of tobacco abuse
Individual Costs
A pack a day habit…
1 Year = $1,680
10 Years = $16,800
20 Years = $33,600
Each year, smoking kills more people than
AIDS, alcohol, drug abuse, car crashes,
murders, suicides, and fires---combined!

Long Term Effects
» Skin Smoking makes you look older. It
makes your skin dry and leathery. It will
wrinkle faster than if you don't smoke.
» Brain When cigarette smoke is inhaled,
it carries nicotine, a highly addictive
drug, into the lungs where it is quickly
absorbed into the blood and carried to
the heart and brain.
Long Term Effects
» Cataracts Smoking causes cataracts. A
cataract is a clouding of the lens of the
eye. It is one of the leading causes of
blindness throughout the world. The
more person smokes, the greater the
chance of getting cataracts.
» Mouth Smoking causes wrinkles around
the mouth and on the lips, but worse
than that smoking causes many kinds of
cancers, including those of the lips,
mouth, tongue, and throat.
Long Term Effects
» Throat People who use tobacco are at
risk of developing tumors of the throat.
» Heart Disease Smoking reduces the
amount of oxygen to the heart muscle.
At the same time, it makes the heart
beat faster, which increases its demand
for oxygen. This is one reason why
smokers are short for breath and have
chest pain.
More Long Term Effects

causes: chronic bronchitis (the build up of puss and
mucus, making you cough a lot), emphysema (makes

effects on all parts of the digestive system,
contributing to such common disorders as heartburn

the body: sinus, brain, breast, uterus, kidney, bladder,
thyroid, leukemia, lymph glands, pancreas, and cervix.
» Early Death Often death occurs 20 or more years
early.
