There is no safe-level of smoking. Each cigarette damages your lungs, blood vessels and cells throughout your body.

Studies have shown that smoking can activate the one part the thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) but not fully. People who smoke already have both the parts that causes TAO in them and smoking could cause that to come out. I feel that if you're going to say anything causes anything that you need to get your facts right. CDC do some research because this does seems weird and like most on here they don't believe it. There is more to getting TAO and smoking does NOT cause it.

Its sad to see so many people in denial about the damage smoking is doing to you, have a visit to your local nursing homes and see some of the patients that are now suffering terribly due to the effects of their smoking, as a medical professionaland a 19 year pack a day smoker who quit 3 months ago with chantix and loads of distraction, I beg you not to give up on yourself or your health !

They wont show a women or child beaten by a "Drunk" They wont show a Car crash on a bottle of Jim or Jack and say this drunk killed a 3 month baby, it's head, legs and arms were ripped off in the accident when he crossed left of center. No they wont put that on bottles of liquor

All of the illnesses depicted can and do result from smoking. This campaign aims to educate the public about the many adverse health conditions for which smoking is a contributing factor. Thousands of people are afflicted with Buerger’s disease, and almost all of them used tobacco. Although Buerger’s disease affects only about 10 adults per 100,000—mostly tobacco users aged 20 to 40—it’s a disease all tobacco users should be aware of.

Causes By Mayo Clinic staff Buerger's disease It isn't clear what triggers Buerger's disease. It's possible that some people may have a genetic predisposition to the disease. The condition is characterized by swelling in the arteries and veins of the arms and legs. The cells that cause the inflammation and swelling — and eventually blood clots — form in the vessels leading to your hands and feet and block the blood flow to those parts of your body.
NOT CAUSED BY SMOKING! DO BELIEVE THE LIES!

Thousands of people are afflicted with Buerger’s disease, and almost all of them used tobacco. The blood vessels of the hands and feet are especially affected in people who have Buerger’s disease. These blood vessels tighten or become totally blocked, sometimes requiring amputation of limbs. Although Buerger’s disease affects only about 10 adults per 100,000—mostly tobacco users aged 20 to 40—it’s a disease all tobacco users should be aware of.
