What is the harm of tobacco smoking, and how to get rid of it.

tobacco smokeRecommendations on how one can get rid of nicotine addiction.

Many smokers do not worry about their harmful habits. They believe that smoking does not cause great harm to their body, they are not aware of all the harmful effects of smoking, or they are trying to ignore this. Typically, they do not know anything or have a very vague idea of the real impact of smoking.

The serious harm that smoking causes to the human body is beyond question. Tobacco smoke contains over four thousand harmful substances. It is impossible to memorize all of them. But you must know three main groups of toxins:

Resins. Forty strong carcinogens and substances irritating bronchus and lung tissue. Lung cancer in 85% of all cases is caused by smoking. Cancer of oral cavity and larynx also comes from smoking in most cases. Resins are the cause of smokers' cough and chronic bronchitis.

Nicotine. Nicotine addiction is a substance stimulating action. As a matter of any drug addiction, dependence and addiction. Frequency of heart contractions and arterial pressure are increased by nicotine. As a result of brain stimulation comes significant recession followed by depression, which provokes the wish to increase the nicotine share. This two-phase mechanism is peculiar of all drug stimulators: first they stimulate, than exhaust. Complete refusal of smoking may be accompanied by the withdrawal syndrome during 2-3 weeks. Most frequent symptoms are irritation, sleep disturbances, discomfort and low tone. All those symptoms do not cause any harm to the health, they fade away and disappear in time. If you start smoking again after a long break, addiction restores immediately (in the same way as aportion of alcohol causes relapse of the disease with alcoholics).

Toxic gases (carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxide, etc.) Carbon monoxide or carbon monoxide gas is the main component of poison gas smoke. It damages hemoglobin, and then hemoglobin loses the ability to carry oxygen. Therefore, smokers suffer chronic oxygen starvation that was clearly evident in physical exercises. For example, when going upstairs or running, smokers breathe quickly. Carbon monoxide gas has neither color nor smell, so it is dangerous and often leads to fatal poisoning. Tobacco smoke contains toxic substances MPC 384000, which is four times higher than in car exhaust. In other words, one minute cigarette smoking is approximately the same as breathing exhaust directly during four minutes. Hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxide also affect the lungs, exacerbating hypoxia (oxygen starvation) organism.

Smoking contributes to atherosclerosis receptacles. The consequence of atherosclerosis are infarction heart attacks, strokes, premature aging. Suffer immunity and the endocrine system. Many men become impotent. Women become infertile or give birth to disabled or ill children. Because nerve sclerotic circulatory vessels are damaged not only in internal organs, but in the hands and feet. Smokers having arteriosclerosis obliterans of lower limbs may develop gangrene. During necropsy of smokers, often thrombosis of various vessels may be seen.

Getting rid of the harmful habit can be done alone or with medical assistance (for those who are really quite weak).

If people really want to stop smoking, they could well do without medical care. Various pills, chewing gums, procedures, physiotherapy, reflex therapy, hypnosis, etc. are ineffective. Above all, in some cases they may bother, especially if you lay to much unjustified hopes on them and refuse all responsibility for the result.

In case of a sudden refusal from smoking, some smokers may feel temporarily worsened health condition. Most often those who hesitate about quitting smoking feel discomfort. And those who made the final choice for themselves easily drop harmful habits, even if before they used to inhale nicotine for decades.

Advice to those who do not believe in their forces (and those who believe, too), start going jogging at least 3-4 times a week and in standard, slow pace. Fill your body with oxygen and you will find that no longer you can inhale tobacco smoke; you will feel aversion to it.
