Show HILLTOP TIMES The rewards of quitting What will happen to your body over the next year? BY PATRICIA CERONE Health and Wellness Center T h^re are more than 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes and cigarette smoke. If you use tobacco: Arsenic is a rat poison. You're poisoning yourself. Ammonia is used in fertilizers. You're smoking crap. Polonium is radioactive, and you're chewing or smoking it. Turpentine is used as a paint stripper. Imagine it stripping your insides. Lead is the wrong kind of heavy metal for you. No matter how long you have used tobacco, the benefits of kicking the habit begin about 20 minutes after you put out your last cigarette or spit out that dip/ chew. 20 minutes after quitting: • Blood pressure and pulse drop to a normal rate. • Temperature of hands and feet rises to normal.
