Smoking.....must share for
you care...!!!!!
-- We all know that smoking is
bad for us, but have you
considered how bad it is?
Here is a top 10 list of
negative effects of smoking:
1. Coughing: Smokers coughing
that is. After a not
predetermined time of being a
smoker, you will begin to
experience smokers cough,
because your body uses this as
a way to try and get rid of the
toxins you inhale while
smoking.
2. Yellow teeth: many smokers
when they realise the state of
their smile, that have gone
from bright white to almost
yellow stop smiling all that
much, or try to hide their
teeth while smiling.
3. Trouble with blood
circulation: After
contaminating your blood for a
period of time with the smoke
you inhale and that therefore
gets into your blood stream,
your blood will not circulate as
freely in your body as it used
to, and your arteries will begin
to clog. The ares furthest
away from the heart, (hands
and feet) will be first to get
lowered their blood flow, and
you will begin to experience
cold hands and feet.
4. Lessened glowing of your
skin: A healthy skin have a
natural glow about, but with
the clogged arteries, the
lessened blood flow, will slowly
make your skin greyer, and
more pale than it used to be.
5. Ugly yellow fingertips: The
smoke that several times daily
gets in contact with your skin
at the fingertips, is slowly
going to make the fingers on
the hand you hold the cigarette
with into ugly looking yellow
fingers.
6. Lessened ability to smell the
lovely flowers: Well maybe you
don't really care about the
smell of flowers, but another
negative effect of smoking is
that rather shortly after
becoming a smoker, you taste
buds and your ability to smell
well be severely worse than
before. The good news
however is that they return
rather quickly after quitting.
7. Lessened lung capacity:
Your overall fitness levels are
determined largely by the
capacity of your lungs, and a
negative effects of smoking is
a slowly deteriorating lung
capacity. When I smoked I had
a test as I were doing sport at
a serious level, but had
collapsed during a track test,
and were told my lung capacity
were well below par for my age
group.
8. Lower Energy: When you
smoke, your immune system
never relaxes for very long.
Immediately when smoke gets
in your body, the immune
system start fighting it, and is
therefore working on
overdrive so to speak. That
extra use of energy has to
come from somewhere, and it
does. The energy used is taken
from your overall energy
levels, Along with that, the
lesser lung capacity reduces
your bodys oxygen intake,
which again reduces your
energy levels. so you can
expect a lower energy level
overall from smoking.
9. Bad breath: Often times
when I were a smoker I would
wake up dry mouthed, and my
girlfriend refused to kiss me
because of my bad breath. This
point should require no
further explanation.
10. Less oxygen for your
brain: Lower oxygen in your
blood also causes the brain to
get lesser oxygen then it needs
to function optimally. This may
cause you to have a worse
than average ability to focus
on things, and it may also
cause dizzy spells.
These are just some of the
more obvious negative effects
of smoking, that your body
suffers under being a smoker,
in the long term your risk of
severe blood clogs, lung cancer
and heart diseases will
dramatically increase the
longer you are a smoker.
No matter what you think,
smoking kills... slowly but
surely, and along the way it
deteriorates the quality of
life.
SO QUIT SMOKING AND LIVE A
HEALTHY LIFE!
