Smoking

"Smoking is cool". That's the opinion of smokers about cigarette. Cigarettes have become part of their lifestyle. It's so hard for them to quit smoking. They smoked at every opportunity. After eat, when hanging with friends and family, at bus etc. Unfortunately they are not aware of the impact of smoking to their health and non-smokers.

By smoking, you can cause health problems not only for yourself but also for those around you. 440,000 deaths occur in the U.S. each year from smoking-related illnesses; this represents almost 1 out of every 5 deaths. The reason for these deaths is that smoking greatly increases the risk of getting lung cancer, heart attack, chronic lung disease,stroke, and many other cancers. Moreover, smoking is perhaps the most preventable cause of breathing (respiratory) diseases within the USA. Smoking harms not just the smoker, but also family members, coworkers, and others who breathe the smoker's cigarette smoke, called secondhand smoke or passive smoke. Exposure to passive smoke can also cause cancer. Secondhand smoke also increases the risk of stroke and heart disease. On the other side, smokers feel they eat more and favors if they eat after smoking. There may be substance in cigarettes that make their appetites grow. Smokers also said they felt more energized after smoking. Young people are especially vulnerable because of pressure from their peers and the image that smoking is clever, cool or 'grown-up'. Just trying a few cigarettes can be enough to become addicted.

Evidence shows people who start smoking  in their youth - aged 11 to 15 - are three times more likely to die a premature death than someone who takes up smoking at the age of 20. They are also more likely to be hooked for life. Nicotine, an ingredient of tobacco, is highly addictive – it takes on average on about six cigarettes before nicotine receptors in the brain are switched on, generating a craving for nicotine which may continue for the rest of the persons life. In less than one packet of cigarettes, a person’s brain can be changed forever from that of a non-smoker to a nicotine addicted smoker. On the other hand, many people say that smoking helps them to feel more relaxed or cope with stress. They feel relax after smoking cigarettes. They also feel happier after smoking. I guess it's the effect of nicotine in cigarette.

Smoking is good for your health. It's also not good for your economic.All smoker to do is quit smoking. I know it's so hard to do but they have to. They must realize that they just burn their money. They may just be aware if their chest is perforated to enter the hose to help their breathing or a family member is ill merea due to constant sucking their cigarette smoke.

The good news is smoking is a risk factor you can control. If you want to quit smoking, it helps to set a quit date. When you choose a date to quit smoking, make it one when it is less likely you'll have added stress. Stress is a major roadblock to any behavioral change. That's especially true when you try to quit smoking. When you first quit smoking, it will be rough. You might feel miserable, irritable, even depressed. But according to the American Lung Association, nicotine clears out of the system quickly. It is usually in the undetectable range within 24 hours after someone quits. Remove smoking triggers. Try icotine replacements. Ask about drugs approved by the FDA for helping smokers quit. Know why you crave cigarettes. And don’t forget to get support or counseling.
