Allows you to

Breathing in, or inhaling, brings oxygen
into your lungs.

Lungs: the main organs of the
respiratory system.

When you breathe out, exhale, the lungs
get rid of carbon dioxide gas.

The average adult takes 15 to 20 breaths
a minute- over 17,000 breaths a day.

Nose and Mouthentrance for outside air.

The Circulatory System . . .
Door #1 – delivers oxygen to your
blood
Door #2 – protects your body from
poisons
Door #3 – delivers blood to your body’s
tissues
 Allows
the body to move blood to
and from tissues.

Heart- acts as a pump

Blood vessels (capillaries)- deliver oxygen
and nutrients in the blood directly to
the body’s cells.

Bloodcarried by blood vessels
Every day, 5 liters of
blood travels many
times through 60,000
miles of blood vessels
carrying oxygen and
food to the rest of
your body, as well as
getting rid of the
waste.

How Many Chemicals are in Cigarette
Smoke?
Door #1 – 4,000
Door #2 – 1,000
Door #3 – 600

Tobacco contains a number of harmful chemicals.
Cigarettes contain approximately

600 ingredients.
When burned, cigarettes create more than
50

There is no law that requires
tobacco companies to print the
ingredients on a package of
cigarettes to let people know
exactly what it is they are

Tar: a thick, oily, dark liquid that forms
when tobacco burns.

Tar deposits cover the lining of the
lungs.

If tar is allowed to build up, breathing
problems and lung disease can result.
It

Which one is true about Nicotine . . .
Door #1 – Nicotine is an addictive stimulant
found in tobacco.
Door #2 – Nicotine is not as addictive as

your body.
In
garden insect sprays
Which is NOT true of Carbon Monoxide?
Door #1 – Carbon Monoxide is detected
through an alarm, similar to that of a smoke
alarm.
Door #2 – Carbon Monoxide is a gas that you
can see, taste and smell.
Door #3 – Carbon Monoxide poisoning can
lead to death.

Carbon Monoxide: a poisonous,
odorless gas produced when tobacco
burns
It attaches to
the red blood
cells, preventing
them from
carrying a full
load of oxygen.

In car and truck exhaust

Breathing carbon monoxide can lead to
death by suffocation.


It causes feelings of dizziness
Bad Breath

Stained and yellow teeth

Smoking ages the skin (wrinkles)

Causes fingers to yellow and stain

Can harm both the smoker and anyone around
them.

Nicotine is linked to heart and lung
disease.
