Quit Smoking! Is smoking cigarette your lifestyle trend?

healthonmove · Jul 3, 2012

WHO estimated 150 million young people use tobacco. This number is increasing globally, particularly among young women in metro cities in India. Half of those users may die prematurely as a result of tobacco use. Can you smell a trend?

Each cigarette contains about 7000 chemicals, many of which are poisonous and about 70 cause cancer. Every time you inhale smoke from a cigarette, small amounts of these chemicals get into your blood through your lungs.

Smoking stains teeth, causes of bad breath and wrinkles and prone to 3 times more cavities among smokers than non-smokers. The fact is, if you are a smoker and catch a cold, then you are more likely than non-smokers to have a cough that will lasts a long time. And might get prone to bronchitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis.

It’s a big mind game; All smokers know there are helpful methods to stop smoking…. Don’t you!! Make sure you don't ignore the strong physical addictions, as they are very real. Though there are many tips and techniques for quitting smoking, but not all of them work for everyone. So you need to do your own research so that you can find out how many quit smoking techniques there are. Contact your doctor to help you find your “Quitting method”.

Everyone is aware of the dangers and risks of smoking. The smoker is definitely affected, but alongside even the people around the smoker are in a risk (passive smokers).

Inspite of repeated warnings and dangers of smoking, the only way to quit is that the smoker should have a will-power to quit. This makes it easier to kick the habit.

Hope the society becomes more aware and takes measures to stop this bad habit.

In my opinion smoking is very harmful and the harm it causes will not be seen immediately. People suffer from asthma, or breathing problems at later age as the lungs stop functioning to its full potential due to choked pores in lungs.
