Reasons for quitting smoking: On the top of the list there should be health concerns. It is important to know that smoking ca be the cause of different kinds of cancer (of the mouth, voice box, throat, kidney, and cervix) but also leukemia, bladder, stomach cancer and so on. The exposure to heart attacks is much higher at smoker that at nonsmokers. Wrinkling of the skin, yellow fingernails and hair, bad smelling clothes and hair are also caused by smoking.
There are also special risks. When it comes to women there are special risks, especially those over 35 who use birth control pills because they are highly exposed to strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots. Another unique risk for women is a lower birth-weight baby. Quit smoking will help you live longer and better, no matter how long you’ve smoked or your age. The risks attributable to tobacco will be avoided if you quit before the age of 35. You can reduce the risk of a premature death even if you quit smoking later in life. Try to remember that in a long run your life will improve if you find it hard to quit smoking. Quit smoking leads to fewer illnesses from flu viruses and cold, and reduces rates of pneumonia and bronchitis. |
