WHY DO WE HAVE TO STOP SMOKING?

NOW LET’S HAVE AN IN-DEPTH LOOK INTO THE SMOKING RELATED ILLNESSES.

We all know cigarettes aren’t as simple as they look. Along with gravely affecting the smoker, it affects the people around too.

Heart:

Here’s a list of heart issues caused by smoking:

 

  • Coronary Heart Disease
  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease
  • Cerebrovascular Disease

 

Our heart works faster than usual when carbon monoxide from the smoke and nicotine both put tension on it. They increase the risk of blood clots. The risk of dying from a heart attack is doubled for a smoker than of a non-smoker.

Brain:

Smokers are more probable to have strokes which can cause brain damage and even death.

Smoking can increase your chances of developing a bulge in a blood vessel produced by a weakness in the blood vessel wall.

This can rupture or burst which will lead to an extremely serious condition known as a subarachnoid haemorrhage.

FINAL NOTE

We don’t understand what it will take for us to understand how important it is to stop smoking. Smoking does nothing good to your body, just a temporary relaxation and the rest is torture, one by one all your organs start to expire.

The reason behind vaping coming into life was to stop people from smoking and to provide them with a better and safer alternative. It's better to go safe then killing yourself.

We need to understand that we need to stop smoking otherwise we’ll have to say goodbye to this beautiful life.

Please, just remember this one thing:

“Your craving is temporary, but the damage to your lungs is permanent.” Anonymous

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
