The beginning of a new year is a good time to affirm ways to improve your health and life. Quitting smoking can be one of the best new years resolutions you can ever make. This resolution is one that can give you some reassurance that you will be around this year to live, laugh and love with your family and loved ones.

Research done by the Center for Disease Control (cdc.gov) shows that smoking causes serious illness, death, cancer and depression. Smoking a cigar exposes your body to 4000 chemicals and 200 poisons and carcinogens.

Do not be fooled into thinking that cigars are not as harmful as cigarettes. The facts are they are more lethal. The American Cancer Society states that "The toxins or irritants in cigar smoke include carbon monoxide, nicotine, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, volatile aldehydes. The carcinogens in cigar smoke include benzene, aromatic amines, vinyl chloride, ethylene oxide, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, nitrosamines, and brpolynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons".

Whats worse is that every time you smoke in the presence of another human being, you are exposing them to the same deadly health hazards. Due to our medical knowledge in this day and age, smoking is known to be poisonous and deadly.
The act of smoking is not illegal. But the act of poisoning another person is illegal. An example of this is the neighbor who smokes and exposes his neighbors to deadly chemicals and illness on a constant basis because of his smoking.
