The following are some of the dangerous effects
of smoking and why you should Quit Right Away
if you haven't already:
Smoking is a leading cause of cancers
of the throat, swallow pipe, lung, stomach, and kidneys.
It leads to unattractive tar deposits
on your teeth and fingernails.
Smoking in your home makes breathing ailments and ear infections
more likely in your children. And they are more likely to pick up
the habit as adults.
You put yourself at risk for chronic bronchitis and emphysema
- lung disorders - by long term smoking, both conditions of which
leave you permanently short of breath and are miserable to live with.
Smoking depresses your immune system making colds more likely.
Your sense of smell and taste are corrupted by smoking.
Smoking increases coronary artery disease leading to heart
attacks.
Tobacco smoke lowers fertility and in pregnant mothers and
lowers baby birth weight.
The good news is: most of the damage
from smoking can be reversed by your body if you quit before it becomes
irreversible.
Smokers tend to feel good after a puff because nicotine is
a stimulant. Nicotine causes your heart to beat faster,
cuts your appetite, and raises your blood
pressure. But placing your hand in a fire does the same thing
- that doesn't mean it's good for you!
