Smoke surely killing you, unless you're smokers or not. you know that passive smokers smoking isn't exactly the best thing for your health. Smokers hang on to a variety of myths that ultimately keep them addicted. The fact is that there's no good reason to keep puffing. Any way you look at it, tobacco causes multiple types of cancer, heart disease, cataracts and pneumonia, and shaves years off your life. Every year, nearly 450,000 Americans die of tobacco-related illness. Fortunately, research has conclusively shown that smokers can successfully quit with proper treatment, from behavioral therapy to nicotine replacement systems to medications. To debunk the common myths that keep smokers smoking, we spoke to Iyaad Hasan, medical director of the Cleveland Clinic Tobacco Treatment Center.
- The fact is, smokers do gain, on average, between five and 10 pounds when they quit. Physiological and psychological changes happen when a person quits. Many mistake a craving for nicotine as a craving for hunger, while others use food as a coping mechanism. However, weight gain is not inevitable; quitting can actually open up new possibilities.
- This is totally not true, even you smoke only one cigarette the chemicals will affect to your body directly same as you smoke a pack of cigarette.
- Smokers who switch to brands labeled "light" or "mild" inevitably compensate for the lower levels of tar and nicotine by inhaling smoke more deeply or by smoking more of each cigarette.
That's 3 major myth about smoking. what do you think guys? still wanna be a smoker? or STOP smoking starts from NOW
