Kiss My Glass

• Title: Kiss My Glass
• Purpose: To educate people on the harmful effects of and poisons that smoking contains/causes.
• Background Information: 1,200 people die each day in the U.S. from tobacco related disease. Nicotine is highly addictive and cigarette smoke contains about 4,800 poisonous chemicals including: Ammonia, Benzene, Arsenic, Carbon Monoxide, Chromium, Acetaldehyde, and Cyanide to name just a few. Young adult smokers are 1.43 times more likely to have a stroke than their nonsmoking peers. It's important to learn about tobacco and its affects because nicotine like I stated above is highly addictive and advertising for tobacco is everywhere! Knowing the facts is the first step in combating tobacco use.
