- Smoking From All Sides -
The Pros and Cons of Smoking

An examination of smoking from all sides requires that pros and cons of smoking be presented.

This is the best way to analyze all the cigarette smoking facts and make an informed decision about starting smoking or giving up smoking.

Pros and Cons of Smoking

Looking at the pros and cons of smoking means examining both the positive and negative facts about smoking.

Cigarette smoking pros would be the benefits or the facts about smoking that show a real benefit to you and your wellbeing.

The smoking facts that show the health risks of smoking and the many reasons why smoking is bad for you would be the cons.

Cigarette Smoking Facts - the Cons

When examining smoking from all sides we will first look at the "cons" or the negative cigarette smoking facts.

There is probably no other human activity that has been researched as extensively as cigarette smoking. The fact that smoking is bad for you is supported by evidence contained in countless numbers of books, journals, research notes, and reports.

This evidence shows that there are many harmful smoking effects on the body that can range from premature wrinkling and aging of the skin to very serious and mostly fatal diseases caused by smoking such as lung cancer and cancer of the pancreas.

And then there are the family cigarette smoking facts. Not only is smoking bad for you but your influence on your family and children is profound.

Secondhand smoking affects the health of many children and has been shown to be a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Smoking behaviour within the family also influences a child's acceptance of smoking as a normal behaviour influencing the initiation of smoking in subsequent generations to come.

There are so many negative cigarette smoking facts that they cannot be listed on a single page. In fact it takes an entire website (and then some) to showcase all that information!

Cigarette Smoking Facts - the Pros

This part of the website is about presenting the facts about smoking from all sides, so I have scoured the books, journals, and research reports to present here the benefits of smoking.

This box presents the sum total of all the evidence found to date:

Notice anything? I could not find a single piece of evidence about the benefits of smoking.

But just because I could not find it does not mean that there are none.
