look up medline and prepare for the avalanche.\nThe national institute of health site is good too. \nNational Cancer Institute\nDr koop and Dr. gabe Mirkin's sites are more readable (less technical), but will not have as much information.\nGoogle will deliver many sites too.\nDoc. Dan.

The negative side effects of smoking are damage to throat and lungs;\nadded risk of heart disease;\ndepletion of certain vitamins, especially Vitamin C, which might cause some health problems, \ndiscolouration of teeth and fingernails and even the skin around the fingernails on the hand that holds the cigarette,\nostracism due to smelling like an ashtray;\nostracism due to being a smoker in the first place;\na weakened immune system due to depletion of vitamins in part, but  mainly due to being forced to smoke outdoors in the freezing cold:\nLung disease; respiratory diseases; and sometimes cancer;\ndamage to an unborn foetus;\ncosts of decorating (white walls will yellow quickly);\ncosts of buying the cigarettes;\ncosts of getting private health care for your emphysema or whatever, which your G.P. doesn't care to treat as you a smoker;\ncost of tissues which you need to hack up the daily ten oysters or so ...\nprobably more!\nThe positive side-effects should get a mention too, for the sake of an unbiased  report.\ngood for the digestion;\ngood for certain types of dental problems;\naids concentration and focussing skills;\nreduces stress;\nreduces the toxic effects of alcohol.\nProbably a lot more there too!\nIn the neutral box, premature ageing is often cited as a negative side-effect, but that probably depends on the person (By premature ageing, I mean wrinkled skin and not breathlessness due to lung capacity or heart)\nDepending on the how much nicotine and tar the cigarette contains, and on personal hygiene, smelling bad is no longer an "option".\n\nPeople who suffer from stress-related diseases are discouraged to cold turkey because their conditon would get worse. Until they can find an alternative way of managing their stress, smoking is acceptable, but hopefully they try to cut down.\nBreathing exercises are useful to delay lighting up, as is holding the cigarette in your fingers when you feel the urge to smoke, and counting to ten or whatever, in the hope that a distraction will stop you from smoking it for yet a longer while .\n\nYet why is it that after WW2, so many pregnant mothers smoked, and produced healthy babies? How did all those 60-a-day smokers live into ripe old age, with only a cough to show for it, if that? Could it be that modern cigarettes contain dangerous chemicals these days? Chemicals which are far worse than tobacco itself?

Cold turkey.\n\nPlease visit http://www.whyquit.com and read about nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, etc.) to see why it doesn't work well.\n\nRead a few sections of "Why do people smoke?" and "How to quit smoking."  The site even tells you what to expect (accurately) during the surprisingly short physical withdrawal period and how to minimize the symptoms.\n\nVisit http://www.whyquit.com\n\nIt is really quite eye opening.

I could copy and paste a ton of information in this box if I were just looking to give you the longest answer so I would get picked for best answer, but I'd rather you were well-informed.  The information I have to offer you is extremely extensive and so it can't all be posted here.  I have included a link.  The information that you are looking for will be on the left-hand side of the page, under the heading, "How Tobacco Destroys the Body."  If you know someone who is a smoker, this site is a wonderful resource for knowledge and information on the effects of smoking and how to quit.  I should know.  I smoked for 7 years and I quit one year ago.  Best of luck to you.

pbs.org has some really good reliable information on the effects of meth on the entire body.  Included are some videos about brain chemistry, dentistry and an interesting series of pictures(mugshots)that visually chronicles teh devastating effects of meth use on a users appearance.
