Smoking Kills

Stop puffing your health away in smoke:
Having that 70mm long stick, rolled up between the two lips undoubtedly exudes an aura of sturdiness and aloofness. People having this magical stick in their mouth ultimately start feeling themselves to be different from others. This aura makes it impossible for them to even think remotely of this habit turning into a huge blub, right in the middle of their throat, making it impossible for them to speak clearly ever again. Also, escaping this dreadful habit is not even a possibility in case you are always surrounded by friends who are avid smokers. They do not let you embark on the journey of switching from a smoking a dozen cigarettes a day to gulping healthy juices, which would track you to the right path.

Whereat one dimension, this addiction of smoking affects the general health of the smoker; the other dimension kills him financially. Each box of cigarette requires one to spend some bucks, which, when combined, lead to quite a heavy figure. Thus, one is stripped off a lot of money, every month, which he willingly smokes away.
Nonetheless, it is imperative that smokers get aware of the fact that the motility rate is increasing with more and more people inclining towards puffing. Some of the extensive health hazards caused by this damned habit are explained below in detail.

⦁ Weakening the immune system:
The first and foremost thing that the habit of smoking affects is smoker’s immune system. The habit that starts with a desire to look cool in front of a crowd leads to the nicotine entering into the body of the smoker. This happens as the chemicals coming out of the ashes have a tendency to absorb into the tissues of skin that comes in contact with them. This suggests that smoker doesn’t only bring himself on the verge of a destructive disease, but also causes harm to people around him. The immune system of a human body aids it in fighting against all the potential diseases. With this system getting feeble, it gets easier for the body to get infected by bacteria and lay sick. Smoking is indeed notorious for causing Crohn’s disease, which is tremendously difficult to cure and mostly leads to death.

⦁ Affects the lungs:
Now, once the immune system is affected by smoking, the next thing on the radar is lungs. It is a proven fact that whoever smokes, has weaker lungs compared to a person who doesn’t smoke. Lungs are affected in numerous ways, and all these ways come together to ruin the entire organ to the core.

Initially, the alveoli, known as the airways for smooth movement of air, get blocked. With it getting damaged, it is obvious that air won’t be able to flow through it freely. The most awful thing about it is that it is a sluggish process. Thus, it takes years for these lungs to get damaged, and no one really knows what’s happening inside the body. Hence, the lungs stop working altogether and eventually cause death. There is no such thing as an advanced diagnosis or prior treatment in this case.

According to the doctors, almost half of the population in the United States of America has respiratory problems, thanks to their love to puff their healthy life away. The most common amongst the diseases pertaining to fragile lungs is that of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Its symptoms include the common coughing and chest tightness, which is not taken seriously by people most of the times. It’s only the eventual diagnosis that breaks to them the effect of their damned habit of smoking.
The second most common disease that leads to the patient losing his life is chronic bronchitis. As more and more mucus keeps coming out through constant coughing, the airways are inflamed. The coughing lasts for a long time leading to high irritation, exasperation, and eventually, death of the patient.

⦁ Strained reproduction:
Smoking doesn’t only kill the person who is indulged in it but also the one who is not. For women, it causes the lifelong curse of inability to reproduce. Yes, you read that right. Habitual puffing makes it difficult for women to conceive and give birth to a healthy baby. Even if they do it by some miracle, it, most of the times, leads to stillbirth, premature birth of an unhealthy baby or an infant illness, which is the worst-case scenario. For men, constant smoking causes impotence, and no matter how much he tries, he is not able to be a father, owing to the damage done to the veins in the penis.

⦁ Causes cancer:
Now comes the most painful part. Smoking leads to cancer, which, as we all know, is the most painful disease ever encountered by the human race. Nonetheless, it is true that smoking doesn’t only cause lung cancer; rather, it is a basis of various other types of death-inducing cancer, including throat cancer and skin cancer. By choosing to smoke, one surely chooses a slow and painful death for his own self, inducing pitiful reactions from the loved ones.

Conclusion:
Smoking a branded cigarette may give you a badass appearance, but deep inside your body, it is playing its evil game. Even if you move to the so-called ‘low nicotine’ alternative, you are only lying to your own self. Even for a brand conscious bourgeois, no kind of expensive cigarette is made without the harmful effects of nicotine.
Puffing the smoke out and making dense clouds from it will surely get you many fans and the video will go viral for a while. However, the effect it will have deep inside your body will be long-lasting, and all those followers of yours won’t be able to alleviate that pain you will have to endure. Thus, if you are a wise person who prefers long, health over feeling ‘edgy’ youth, you would choose to QUIT SMOKING right away and switch to a healthier way of living.
