There are many smokers today who are unaware of the risks
associated with smoking. Smoking harms every part of the body and is also responsible
for various types of cancer such as cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, lung,
bladder, kidney, cervix, stomach, pancreas, cataract, asthma, etc. Smokers also suffer from chronic pulmonary
disease (COPD) and are highly prone to pneumonia as well as other infections
associated with the respiratory system. Inhaling
tobacco smoke can be injurious because
of the harmful chemicals contained in tobacco. Men who smoke are also at a risk
of developing erectile dysfunction. Women who are pregnant should stop smoking
as it could lead to an abnormally underweight premature baby. Also, a woman who
smokes during her pregnancy period or after giving birth exposes her baby to
various health risks which can lead to death which may occur due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
The smoke from a
cigarette not only harms those who smoke but also affects close people living
with smokers. It is therefore necessary to quit this unhealthy habit which
would then decrease the health risks associated with it. The first thing a smoker should do is to throw
out all the ash trays and cigarettes that are found in his or her house or any
other place. Do not get tempted to smoke
and do not allow anyone who smokes to come near you. You can quit smoking by taking help of your
family and close friends who will discourage you and divert your mind. Quit
smoking by being positive, having the willpower that will help you
live a healthier life.
