Smoking is a very
dangerous addiction, because of the nicotine in the cigarettes which influences
the brain and other areas that control mood, energy levels and memory. With smoking the brain gets used to constant
amount of nicotine and therefore when one stops smoking, you experience
withdrawal symptoms, and this makes a person difficult to quit.
Passive smoking is when you inhale secondhand tobacco smoke.
This secondhand tobacco smoke is a mixture of smoke exhaled by active smokers and
passive smoking generally occurs in closed environments, but open environments
are equally prone. Passive smoking can
have serious effects on an individual's health like cancer, heart and
respiratory problems, asthma, low birth weight, still births, sudden infant
death syndrome and ear infections.
Therefore, smoking is harmful, and the dangers of smoking are
more serious. Smoking causes lung and throat cancer, heart
disease, emphysema, as well as bronchial and lung disorders. A pregnant woman
who smokes increases the chances of her baby being underweight and having
behavioral problems.
Giving up smoking is difficult but to give up smoking you
should have the desire and willpower and must maintain a quit smoking plan. Once you know the dangers and ill effects of
smoking and the health implications you are more committed to quit
smoking. Stay away from people who smoke
to avoid temptation. Try herbal anti-smoking supplements and stop smoking with
grit and perseverance. Once you quit
smoking you can live longer and enjoying an improved quality of life.
