 There are so many dangers associated with smoking, especially the fact that smoking is big factor increasing your chance of developing lung cancer mouth cancer and many other crippling ailments, it is amazing to see how many people continue to voluntarily take part in this habit! Why is it that these mostly mature, reasonably intelligent men and women of any nationality allow such a small drug to have so much control over their lives? One would think it would be easy to just say "NO" to this obviously harmful and potentially fatal drug, but in reality it just isn't so.Why? Because smoking is a habit and habits are hard to break. In addition to this it is also chemically designed to be incredibly addictive. Interestingly even efforts to raise the price of a pack of cigarettes have failed to slow the demand. And even though they aren't cheap, cigarettes are very easy to purchase, in fact it isn’t difficult for someone under lawful age to obtain this products, which makes it even harder to give up this habit. Smoking is the number one contributor to lung cancer, it contributes so much in fact, that it has been blamed as one of the biggest killers on an international scale that even wars pale in comparison. Besides causing lung cancer, cigarette smoking can cause other health-related ailments for example: emphysema, bronchitis, and heart disease. Combine cigarette smoking with obesity, stress, and a non-active lifestyle, and a person who smokes practically transmutes to a ticking time bomb. Any amount of smoking can contribute to lung cancer, but how long you have been smoking, how quickly you smoke, and how many cigarettes you smoke on a regular basis all impact the development of lung cancer. It goes without saying that people who smoke a pack or more a day and who have smoked most of their lives are significantly increasing the chances of lung cancer or some other crippling/life threatening disease developing. By quitting smoking you may not stop lung cancer from developing, but doing so still is highly recommended. You immediately lower your risk of developing lung cancer the moment you stop (but only when you stop for good, and avoid secondary smoking). The body will go into repair mode within a day or two after you stop. Your body will cleanse itself of the toxins contained in cigarette smoke and after about a decade the tar in your lungs may be removed or at very least your lungs would have repaired the damage from smoking. It's not possible to determine whether the damage that has been done by the tar can be corrected, but stopping is worth a shot. Secondary or passive smoking can also cause lung cancer, even in people who do not smoke. A passive smoker is the guy standing at the bar in a pub when there is about twenty blokes around him lighting up a cigarette, it’s the child sitting on the floor of the lounge room playing when is old man is sitting on the couch watching tv and having a smoke. If you smoke, be considerate to others who don't. Don't smoke in enclosed spaces such as homes or cars. This is especially important around innocent children who don't even realize the dangers they're being exposed to, as well as the fact that most small children haven’t fully developed their immune systems, which in turn makes them more vulnerable than an adult. If a pregnant woman smokes, her unborn baby smokes too! So for the sake of your child don’t smoke!
