Even with our knowledge of how dangerous smoking cigarettes are, we are still tempted to unleash our inner rebel and expose ourselves to major health risks. In old films smoking was often seen as the metaphorical climax to romantic moments. Even in new films smoking is seen as edgy and daring. Celebrities caught smoking come across as having a very nonchalant attitude to life and give the impression of living in the fast lane. In reality however we see how the addiction to tobacco tethers old ladies to doorways and bus stops. No one looks sexy in a coffin or wearing an oxygen mask. Families and friends miss out on the wonderful person you are and you quite frankly smell terrible. Being healthy is sexy and being able to rumba in your seventies without losing your breath is even more awesome. Treatments like Champix allow you to give up smoking without the dreadful feeling of withdrawal.
Effects Of Smoking
Yes we all know someone like 85 year old Fred who has been smoking since he was six and goes to bed on a whisky. He is lucky that his constitution is so accommodating where toxins are concerned - this doesn’t mean that you will fare as well. Let’s face it anything that involves inhaling 4,000 chemicals made up of; 43 cancer causing compounds, formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide and arsenic is going to kill you in the end. Even worse passive smoking and just carrying the remnants of these chemicals on your clothes can put children and babies at serious risk of respiratory problems. Inhaling carbon monoxide can kill you slowly while your lungs can become a sticky mess and your heart can conk out. You can get cancer, which eats you up from the inside out and gives you that edgy cool look you were trying to achieve (like a Victorian gothic with consumption).
