In brief, the above article says:  According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen- take note of the heated plastic smell in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells.  Prolonged exposure will cause Leukaemia, increasing the risk of cancer.  May also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft.  A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene..  If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level..  The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxin.
It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter.  Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is very difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

If you know anyone who smokes, we recommend that you read this article and tell them about it or direct them to read this article too.

Now, firstly, just incase you think that you do not want to quit smoking, let us tell you a little about what kind of effect smoking has…

The bad effects of smoking!
Want to become old much faster? - Then smoke!
You see, as you become old naturally, your arteries that carry the blood all around your body become “hard” and “narrow”. Because of this, blood starts to clot in them and there will be blockages caused in your arteries, which leads to all sorts of different problems.

For example:

If the blood clots in the arteries that supply blood to the heart, you will get a heart attack.
If the blood clots in the arteries that supply blood to the brain, you will get a stroke, you can become paralyzed for life etc.
If the blood clots in the arteries that supply blood to the kidney, you will have kidney failure.
If the blood clots in the arteries that supply blood to the legs, you might have to amputate your leg.
All this is generally caused with age. As people become old, their arteries start to harden and their blood starts to clot. But, you if you are smoking, you can make all this happen much earlier. If you are smoking you can become much older, much faster! (more…)
