I have smoked since the age of 15, am now 22. I have always half-heartedly tried to give up but this gave me a shock. Not that I wasn't aware of the dangers but it's never been explained to me quite so graphically. I've just written what you posted in the front of my diary in capitals and snapped my remaining cigarettes into the bin and am going to log on to a quitting website. Thank you, I hope it works for me and others reading it. There needs to be more detailed and scientific explanations, not just shock tactics.
