We all know that smoking is not good for the health. Still, a lot of people enjoy taking a puff or two. Some smokers even started at a very young age, without knowing and understanding how it would affect them in the future. But who really cares about the future when you’re still young and full of life. Unless of course, when the future is now and you’re lying in bed sick from the effects of too much smoking. Wake up, life is too short so don’t waste it by making it, even shorter.
I don’t really need to tell why smoking is bad for your health, except it’s important that you know. So here are the ten reasons why you should really quit smoking before it’s too late.
1. Cancer of the lungs – Cancer in the lung is due to smoking. With every puff, you discharge deadly toxins into your lungs. If you have been taking a puff since you were young then your chance of dying from lung cancer is about 23 .
2. Emphysema – This is also due to too much smoking. This illness is common to men age 55 and up, those who have been smoking their entire adult life are the one at risk. Tar and carcinogens shrink the elasticity of your alveoli or in other words lungs. If the lung loses its elasticity, then you won’t be able to breathe properly and would surely pass away by way of suffocation.
3. Bronchitis and Pneumonia – This is a case where the smoker and the non smoker both get sick with pneumonia and bronchitis. The smolder coming from the cigarette if inhale would irritate the lining of the lungs, so the body’s only reaction is to generate mucus that would cover the aggravation. A great deal of this mucus can cause you respiratory disease such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
4. Asthma – If you smoke during your pregnancy then all the carcinogens that you inhale would hurt your unborn child. By the time the baby is born, all kinds of abnormality will take place, respiratory tract infection and lung problems. Your smoke can also trigger an asthma attack.
5. Heart Ailment –Your non stop smoking can cause the fat in your body to block the arteries, this is named atherosclerosis. The more you enjoy your puff, the more that your arteries will contract and give you heart attack.
6. Yellow teeth –Is always known to cause tartar. The stain left by the cigarette on your teeth cannot be removed by a simple brushing or through the use of whitening product.
7. Taste buds – Taste buds is also at risk by constant smoking. The carcinogens again can greatly damage not just your lungs but also your thin skinned buds. In the end, you won’t be able to enjoy any kind of food, since you have already loss your sense of flavor.
8. Bad breath – Everyone hates the smell of cigarette on a person’s mouth. What’s even worse is that, no mouthwash and chewing gum can take away the bad smell of your mouth.
9. Fingers are stained – Tar is not just good in staining the teeth, but also your fingers. Notice the fingers of most smokers, there are brown stains between two fingers.
10. Additional expenses – What you don’t understand your smoking is costing you a lot. A pack of cigarette may seem inexpensive but if you compute the number of pack you consume in month, you might be surprised how much money you have burn.
