There are lots of ways you can enjoy the life rather than
smoking cigarette. Most of the time people start smoking for
social status and for fun without knowing the fact that this
one puff is enough to cause addiction. Cigarette smoking is
not only an addiction rather it can be very dangerous and
it is going to be a real killer. Quitting smoking is very
essential for vital health.
When you stop smoking, you can enjoy the quit smoking benefits
as fast as within 20 minutes. The abnormally raised heart
rate and blood pressure
comes back to normal within an hour. The carbon monoxide content
in the circulating blood decreases and thus improves oxygen
supply to all the organs of the body. As your body does not
have to produce mucus in large extent to eliminate the irritants,
breathing becomes normal and a lot easier.
When you quit smoking for nearly 6 months, the chances of
getting cardiovascular disease reduces by half and then slowly
declines. However, to reduce the risk of getting lung cancer
to at least by half, you need to quit smoking for more than
10 years. After 15 years of cessation, the chance of getting
lung cancer is very close to a non-smoker. In nut shell, the
earlier you stop smoking, the longer you can live.
Once you stop smoking, you will get back the sense of taste
and smell and you can enjoy the food just like you used to
enjoy before smoking. When you quit smoking, you can have
peace of mind knowing that your life and your family's health
are not at risk any more.
Quitting smoking is not an easy task. Most of the smokers
think they can quit any time. But the truth is that the cravings
for cigarette do not allow you to quit so easily. You might
also be worried about the withdrawal symptoms of smoking such
as weight gain, anxiety and irritability. However, with strong
determination and planned effort you can quit smoking for
good. You can either chose cold turkey method of quitting
smoking or you can also go for step by step procedure. It
is also a great idea to approach the health care provider
to get some help in reducing this addiction.
