Smoking Causes Cancer

By Karri Owens

Many of us quit smoking thinking we'll flop. Nicotine addiction has the method of stealing our free-will to try before we've even given it a shot. It's crucial to make certain that you're prepared to quit smoking and that it's a choice you've come to on your own.

Sometimes, we're balancing on the fence, so to speak, when trying to make the choice to quit. In fact, it has been estimated that if all women abandoned smoking during pregnancy, about 4,000 new infants would not die each year.

In fact, most people fail the first time they try to quit smoking. But just because you fail once - or more than once - doesn't mean you can't succeed or that you shouldn't try again. Though most smoking related damage can be repaired over time if you quit smoking, although emphysema cannot be reversed once you have it.

Heart disease is also a concern for smokers. Ironically, we tend to think, when we want to quit smoking, that it is the physical discomfort or withdraws, that stop us from doing it. The reality is that smoking, although it starts out as a social activity, becomes ingrained and affects every part of your life eventually.

Smoking causes cancer and is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke and chronic obstructive lung disease. Overall, smoking accounts for almost two-thirds of all deaths in Singapore alone.

By stop smoking, your lungs will become cleaner which may reduce the chance of infection. Your smokers cough progresses and drowsiness is diminished giving you more spark.

No longer will you be full of nicotine, one of the world's most infectious and rapidly addictive drugs. Did you know that nicotine is 100% stimulant? This "wonder drug" culture aids to reinforce the belief that new medicine is continuously developing miracle cures.
