Effects of smoking
By admin | November 4, 2007
It was not so long ago, when doctors actually recommended smoking. And now everyone is screaming about the negative effects of smoking.We should all scream louder, because according to a WHO estimate from 2002, 26 % of all male deaths and 9 percent of all female deaths can is a attributed to smoking tobacco.
Regular smokers live up to 10 years less then non-smokers. Smoking kills around 440 000 in the USA each year. But still we spend our hard earned money on buying cigarettes and destroying our health and our lives.
Don’t try to find comfort in the stories about old men who virtually ate cigars all their lives and still died in their 80s peacefully,because smoking will cause lung cancer.
Before World War I lung cancer was so rare that most doctors couldn’t see in their entire carrier’s, but soon enough that all changed. Smoking became popular and health care system was burdened with lung cancer victims.
There are literally hundreds of ways smoking kills you lung cancer is just one of those ways as it is most infamous people are encouraged to stop smoking by fear of lung cancer.
But what about impotence?
It is 85 % in smokers. It’s because smoking promotes narrowing of blood vessels. You should consider that when you decide to light up your next cigarette. It can deprive you of the life’s greatest pleasures. You don’t deserve that.
Did you ever see a picture of an young oral cancer victim? I recommend you see one. Just google it. And ask yourself do you really think that you wont wont get oral cancer?
Do you want smoking to turn you into a zombie who can’ taste or smell. Smokers who smoke for years slowly lose their ability to smell and taste, even the tobacco that they think they love.
Smoking can lead to infertility in men as it is proved that nicotine kills sperm cells, and causes spontaneous abortion in women.
Do you need any more reasons not to smoke?
So why don’t you stop. NOW.
