10 Reasons Why You Should Stop Smoking

People think that if they don’t smoke they’ll be healthier, but actually, more than half are already addicted.

The number of people who live in Washington DC is up almost 32 percent since 1992.

Research presented at the American College of Chest Physicians’ annual meeting in October showed that smoking could kill more than a billion people this century.

Why You Should Stop Smoking

Although most people get a lot of pleasure from smoking, there are good reasons not to smoke. Here are the top reasons to quit smoking.

You’re tired of the damage your smoking is doing to your body.

Smoking is not healthy because of how it affects your health. Smoking can lead to serious health problems.

1. Save Money

There is no doubt that tobacco taxation is one of the most effective forms of tobacco control.

B

Decreasing advertising is one of the best ways of reducing the demand for tobacco products and reducing smoking.

You could use this information to see whether it is worth it for you to quit smoking or not.

Insurance companies increase their rates not only for smokers but also for obese people, and people who eat a lot.

2. Get Your Health Back

Even though smoking is considered one of the main causes of death (i.e. cancer), it can also lead to a number of other health problems. Lung cancer seems to be one of the most significant, but other conditions can take their toll.

It isn’t good for your health to smoke, it’s really bad for you.

3. Live Longer

A person quitting smoking at a young age will have a better quality of life, live much longer, and enjoy years of smoking free.

The toxins and carcinogens in cigarettes cause damage to blood vessels, and you have a less amount of blood supply to your skin.

With reduced blood flow and reduced blood flow, your skin does not get enough oxygen and the important nutrients it needs to function properly.

4. Sleep Better

If you smoke right before bed, you are doing more damage to your body then if you just had one and went to bed.

Cigarettes make it difficult to fall asleep because of the stimulating nature of the nicotine. The withdrawal symptoms of addiction keep you from having consistent sleep patterns.

5. Heal Wounds Faster

Smoking interferes with the body’s ability to heal damaged tissue. Nicotine, for instance, is a vasoconstrictor and an inhibitor of tissue regeneration. Additionally, smoking suppresses the release of growth factors needed by a wound to heal.

After ligament-surgery, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reported that cigarette smoking slows the healing and increases failure rates. They found that the failure rates increased by more than 50% in smokers compared to nonsmokers. They found that macrophage activity was diminished in smokers.

Caffeine drinks could make you dehydrated, and drinking coffee could stunt those bone-building hormones that help you recover from the trauma of a wound. Smoking weed, on the other hand, can actually help keep healing hormones flowing, so when your body is dealing with a cut or a minor injury, you’ll recover more quickly, with no long-term side effects.

6. Take Back Control

I guess the main thing that I think is important to note with that is, is that to what extent can you or should you attempt to change those brain chemicals that are involved in the reward centers in your brain.

Although some people suffer from withdrawal symptoms because of nicotine, for some people the symptoms are the result of psychological experiences.

For others, the ritual of handling, lighting, or smoking a cigarette is itself pleasurable, and is the source of the psychological and emotional effects of smoking.

Withdrawal symptoms often cause cravings for things, such as food, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, etc., that you know you should not have. In addition, you may feel irritable, have trouble sleeping, feel restless or agitated, and have frequent thoughts of death or suicide.

7. Protect Your Family

One of the many negative effects of secondhand smoke is the negative influence they have on those around them. As a smoker, you should think about those around you before you smoke.

8. Protect Your Fertility

If you are planning to have children, smoking has been linked to the increasing infertility rate among young people. It can cause a variety of health problems and may even result in cancer.

According to a study, smoking kills sperm and decreases estrogen, which is a hormone that is very important to women’s fertility. It should be noted that the study was done in 2010 and these health issues (males and females) may have changed since that time.

9. Protect Your Mental State

According to a study, the risk of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia for elderly smokers is much greater than for the non-smoking elderly.

The study found that smoking can increase cognitive decline by damaging arteries, and increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.

10. Avoid The Smell

Because you may be a smoker may of not aware of how bad you smell when you not around other people.

The smell of smoke is an annoyance for non-smokers. It is not necessarily a good indicator that someone is smoking around you.

To me, smell is what of the strongest determinants of how people interact with one another, whether it’s the smell of smoke, or the odour of someone 3 days late for a shower.

Summary

There are many options for those that want to take that first step, whether it’s professional help, home remedies, an alternative habit, etc.
