10 Reasons Why I Smoke

1. It's such a clean, refined habit. 
2. It makes my breath so pleasing to everybody.
3. It is such a good example for children to follow. 
4. It proves I have self control. 
5. It makes my fingers and teeth so pretty and yellow.
6. It makes me look so manly.
7. I love to cough up phlegm.
8. It starts fires, kills lives and destroys millions of dollars worth of forests and property.
9. I want to see how much poison my body can take before I die.
10. It's my way of obeying God, Who said, "Keep thyself pure. Touch not the unclean thing."

"An ungodly man diggeth up evil, and in his lips 'there is as a burning fire."- Proverbs 16:27.

"SMOKING AIN'T NEVER HURT ME YET"

Cheer up. It will. Bullets, guns, gas, electric chair, drowning, hanging, poison, are faster. But for slow suicide, there's nothing like cigarettes, cigars, pipes and chewing tobacco. Cigarette smoke contains 19 poisons, including carbon monoxide, nicotine, carbolic acid, and furfural. One cigarette contains as much furfural as 20 ounces of whiskey. Furfural is 50 times as poisonous as alcohol. It causes tremors, convulsions, muscle twitching, paralysis of respiratory muscles. Hudson Maxim said, "With every breath, smokers inhale imbecility and exhale manhood."

FAMOUS LAST WORDS: "I'm different." "I can take it." "It never hurt me yet."

UNPAID TESTIMONIALS

HERBERT HOOVER: "Cigarettes are a source of crime. Nearly every delinquent boy is a cigarette smoker."

DR. HUTCHINSON (Kansas State Reformatory): "Cigarettes are the cause of the downfall of more boys in this institution than all other vicious habits combined."

HOW TO QUIT

Pray, right now. Ask God to forgive you for your wickedness and open your heart to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Ask Him to cleanse you, to save your soul, and make you a real Christian. Read your Bible daily and urge others to seek the Lord while He may be found.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." -Philippians 4:13
