Smoking…The Deadly Truth

Smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined. Astonishingly, 119,000 of Kentucky kids under the age of 18 will ultimately die a prematurely death from smoking this year, according to Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. 3,200 kids in Kentucky start smoking each year.

Tobacco smoke is a deadly mix of more than 7,000 chemicals, almost 70 of which cause cancer. The evidence is clear, smoking can be deadly. Don’t start and be a statistic.

If you smoke and want to stop call your local health department or visit our website for smoking cessation assistance.
