Cigarette Smoking Pros and Cons: Why Quitting Smoking is a Better Idea.
Cigarette smoking is considered a very macho and cool activity by adolescents and young adults who are more or less influenced to take up the cancer stick while imitating their favorite silver screen stars. What these kids don’t realize is that continuous puffing away at cigarettes might look stylish and it might be the most fashionable thing to do – the “it” thing – lighting up in times of mental confusion can clear up your head and make you feel light. Lighting up often may also lead to significant weight loss.
But all the pros of smoking are outweighed by the cons. If you hear some of the effects of cigarette smoking, I am sure you will quit smoking for good although quitting smoking is a rather difficult thing to do because of the withdrawal symptoms that you will face.
Let me start off with what is in cigarette residue. Some of the cigarette ingredients that you should be aware of are well established carcinogens called radioactive compounds such as thorium 228, radium 228, radium 226, potassium 40, polonium 210 and other such radioactive compounds, 30 metals like cadmium, chromium, arsenic compounds, lead, chromium, nickel etc, cilia toxic agents like formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, acrolein, hydrogen cyanide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide – one of the most poisonous gases known to men, tar and nicotine and similar other substances.
Hopefully now you will realize why doctors and the medical fraternity refer to cigarettes as cancer sticks. The problem is that in spite of being aware of the harmful effects of cigarette smoking, close to 26% men and 18% women in USA light up regularly.
Ditching this deadly vice is a good idea because not only does cigarette smoking drain and damage your body but when women start smoking regularly, it causes grievous damage to the tender reproductive system and affects fertility levels. As a result women find it difficult to conceive and men become impotent. It also affects the health of the future generation and may cause damage to the embryo if a woman continues with her cigarette smoking during her pregnancy. Men who face erection trouble can benefit from quitting smoking.
If you plan on continuing to smoke, for God’s sake…switch to electronic cigarettes. They are much safer, cleaner and healthier than anything you will get from a tobacco company. So far, the BEST ecig I have come across is the patented, 2-piece design put out by these guys.
