As we know there's a lot of commercial advertisement which sell a cigarette . This thing could affect  many people start from teenagers , adult , even children to consume the product. In fact, Indonesia ranks third highest number of smokers who reach 146.86 million souls . They dont know exactly the danger that await. Start from cancer, high blood pressure , asthma ,etc.

            So, what’s cigarettes for real? Why it can be so risky to consume ? So, cigarettes is a cylindrical object that is derived from tobacco which is cut into small size. Cigarettes used by burning at the edges. There are more than 588 ingredients inside such as carbon monoxide, cigarettes can produced CO gas 3-6%. CO has the ability to bind to hemoglobin (Hb) contained in red blood cells (erythrocytes) are stronger than oxygen, so that whenever there is smoke in addition to oxygen levels the air is reduced, plus red blood cells will be starved of oxygen, and therefore transported is CO and not the O2 (oxygen). Body cells suffering from lack of oxygen will try to improve is through blood vessels by way of compensation shrink or spasm. When the spasm lasts a long time and continuously the blood vessels are easily damaged by the process of atherosclerosis (narrowing). Constriction of blood vessels going to happen everywhere. In the brain, heart, lung, kidney, on foot, in the birth canal, in the placenta in pregnant women. Second is There is about 0.5 - 3 mg of nicotine in cigarette, and everything is absorbed, so that the liquid inside the blood or plasma between 40-50 .

Second is Nicotine. It is not carcinogenic components. The results of the decay heat of nicotine as dibensakridin, dibensokarbasol, and the one that nitrosamines are carcinogenic. In the lungs, the nicotine can inhibit the activity of cilia. As well as heroin and cocaine, nicotine also has the characteristics of addictive and psychoactive effects. Smokers will feel the pleasure, reduced anxiety, tolerance and physical attachment. That is why once smoking is difficult to quit.

Effects of nicotine causes the stimulation of the hormone kathekolamin (adrenaline), which is to stimulate the heart and blood pressure. Heart was not given a chance to rest and blood pressure will be increasing, resulting in the onset of hypertension

            Third is Tar which is kind of thick liquid dark brown or black are the substance of hydrocarbons that are sticky and stick to the lungs. The tar in cigarettes between 0.5 to 35 mg per rod. Tar is a carcinogen that can cause cancer in the airway and lungs. After that there is Ammonia. This is a colorless gas composed of nitrogen and hydrogen. This substance is sharp and very stimulating smell. Once the severity of toxins in ammonia so that if it gets a little too into the bloodstream will cause a person to faint or coma. Then Hydrogen cyanide, it is a gas that is colorless, odorless and has no taste. This substance is the lightest substance, flammable and highly efficient to prevent breathing and damage the respiratory tract. Cyanide is a toxic substance that is extremely dangerous. Few of cyanide inserted directly into the body can lead to death.

            The rest of it are still as harmful as i have mentioned before. You can lose someone you love if you often smoke around them. Because Inhaling other people's smoke is more dangerous than smoking cigarettes themselves. Even the danger that must be borne passive smokers tripling of the dangers of active smokers. Setyo Budiantoro of Indonesian Public Health Association (IAKMI) said as much as 25 percent of the harmful substances contained in cigarettes into the body of smokers, while 75 percent are circulating in the air that enters the body at risk those around him.The concentration of harmful substances in the body of a larger passive smokers because the toxins are inhaled through cigarette smoke unfiltered active smokers. While cigarette toxins in the body are filtered through the end of the current smokers of cigarettes smoked. The concentration of toxic active smokers could increase if the active smokers inhale smoke back that he exhales. The cigarette toxins produced by the smoke of cigarette ends that are not inhaled. Because the smoke produced from burning tobacco that is not perfect.

Cigarettes affect not just happen to human but also  pollute our environment, litter our streets, beaches, lakes and seas. They not only spoil the aesthetics of our environment, but also harm animals, fish and plants, enough of which are being killed every day even without this occurrence.Remember animal also need fresh air to breath

Ladies and gentlemen

All efforts that we need to reduce the number of smokers is tighten the punishment for smokers early age and also educate people that it is true, if we smoke it is equal to suicide and killing others.We must be wouldnt want to see our next generation live in world  full of pollute that hurts and kill them slowly or see garden in front of the house without any plants so we can’t get oxygen or butterfly there cause all of them already extinct or maybe went to some river but there isnt any clear water there no fish no grass just nothing. All of them happen because of us, smoking without thinking first what’s the impact of it to their health, environment.

Ladies and gentlemen

            I think it’s completely enough for me to this point.So, lets remind our family, friends or maybe stranger around us to stop smoke. Who else want to take care of their body if it’s not themselves?

That’s all from me, thank you so much for your attention
