A study has revealed that the single most preventable cause of illness and death in mothers and infants is smoking. The poisonous cigarette which contains harmful components like Carbon monoxide, Nicotine and tar can prove fatal to a foetus.
Carbon monoxide, attaches itself to the hemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen, and reduces the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system and increases the heart rate and blood pressure.
The tar, known as cancer-causing agent includes compounds like formaldehyde, arsenic, cyanide, benzopyrene, benzene, toluene and acrolein and is capable of causing lung cancer.
Smoking even decreases fertility in female and male and impairs the sperm quality of smokers. Women who smoke during pregnancy have an increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth. Even the babies organs are smaller than that of non-smokers' babies.
In an attempt to make smoking less injurious to the health, Green Smoke™, independently tested for safe ingredients containing water, nicotine and propylene glycol has been made.
The Green Smoke electric cigarette gives you your nicotine, without taking a toll on your lungs and heart. It does not have offensive odors but the fact remains “No Cigarette Is Safe Cigarette”.
