Say no to Smoking


Smoking cigarettes is a horribly addictive habit that many people find difficult to quit. Getting some help to quit smoking is generally your best option to resolve the addiction forever. Nicotine can play havoc on the mind from a physiological point of view not to mention the unhealthy side effects of consistently absorbing the nicotine itself along with the smoke and additional chemicals. No wonder there are so many fatal diseases associated with smoking cigarettes.

Smoking can cause lung cancer and other types of cancer such as cancer of the mouth, voice box (larynx), throat (pharynx), esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, stomach, and some leukemia. Smoking can cause Pneumonia, Emphysema and chronic bronchitis. It increases the likelihood of the heart attacks, peripheral vascular disease, and sometimes erectile dysfunction. Smoking results into bad breadth, yellow fingernails, bad smelling clothes and hair, and premature wrinkling of the skin. It increases the risk of macular degeneration. In the elderly, the most common cause of blindness is macular degeneration. In case of women, smoking can lead to miscarriage or even a lower birth-weight baby.

The cost of smoking both in terms of buying a cigarette and buying medicines is increasing day by day. Smoking is not allowed in public places moreover its social acceptance has diminished drastically. A smoker makes others around passive smokers and causes them unseen health injury.

Enlist the reasons for smoking and the circumstances in which you like smoking. Every situation has to deal with a mindset of abstaining from smoking. Try to stop smoking initially for a day and then staying away from it for longer duration. Fix up that day, take out everything from you sight that promotes or tempts you to smoke. Eating and drinking habits should be changed. Consume a lot of fresh fruits and water. Relax your body by walking, going for a ride or swimming. Give yourself a good gift with the money saved from smoking. If you stop and restart smoking again think of the situation when you restarted it.

Successful Stop Smoking Idea: Your Health

I’ve know several women who, once learn they are pregnant, quit smoking cold turkey. I mean, done… When I think about this idea I try to understand the thinking that must go on in this situation.  Do mothers feel that the health of their baby is more important than a cigarette?  What does that say for the person who is quitting and how they feel about their own health?  I would think that an overall awareness of your health and maybe a more grateful approach to health could aid a successful drive to quit smoking for good.
