Quit Smoking

Smoking Effects: Protect Your Lungs And Your Health

According to PhysLink.com, when you inhale a cigarette the temperature in the middle of the tip of a cigarette goes from 1100 F. to 1300 degrees F. The tip or combustion zone of a cigarette or cigar produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Further back where it is a bit cooler you have the pyrolysis/distillation zone. The distillation zone is where the 5000 or so chemicals are produced and unleashed. As the super saturated vapor cools it is transformed into aerosol particles that form the smoke. Some of the smoke goes directly into your lungs the rest is dispersed as second hand smoke. The smoke that goes into your lungs and into your blood stream causes one set of problems, the smoke that surrounds your lips and wafts across your eyes and complexion causes other problems.

The problem with using disease as a scare tactic or motivator to quit smoking is people don’t think that way. They don’t walk around all day worrying about all the awful things that can happen. The cause and effect between smoking and disease is too far removed. The ravages of smoking build up, bit-by-bit, day-by-day, cigarette-by-cigarette, until the cumulative affect hits its mark. Almost all smoking related diseases are non-reversible. You may be able to arrest of stop the damage in some cases but often the results of smoking have done irreparable harm to your heart, throat, lungs, eyes, complexion, arteries and circulation. Many people think of cancer when they think of smoking related disease, the degenerative diseases associated with smoking take a subtle toll reducing mobility and quality of life.

Smoking is a time bomb with a variable length fuse; some smokers will live to be 100, while others will perish at 40. Smoking cigarettes is a game of Russian roulette, quicksand, landmines and trip wires because; you never know which cigarette or how many it is going to take to become ill. No one should smoke, but especially those who are predisposed by heredity, or preexisting conditions such as diabetes, circulatory problems, heart disease or elevated cholesterol. The risk factors associated with smoking have been known for years and have been reported by the U.S Surgeon General and others.

Smoking Related Disease and Risk Factors

Smoking harms nearly every major organ of the body, often in profound ways, causing many diseases and significantly diminishing the health of smokers in general. Toxins in cigarette smoke go everywhere the blood flows (1)

Cancer

Smoking causes the vast majority of lung cancers, along with cancers of the mouth, throat, larynx, esophagus, pancreas, kidney, bladder, stomach, and acute myeloid leukemia (1)

Cardiovascular Disease

Smoking is one of the major independent causes of coronary disease. Smoking causes atherosclerosis, strokes, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. It accelerates the progressive hardening and narrowing of the arteries. Cigarette smoke damages the cells lining the blood vessels and heart (1)

Respiratory Disease

More than 90% of emphysema deaths are caused by smoking. Smokers have more upper and lower respiratory tract infections and other respiratory diseases than nonsmokers.

When mothers smoke during pregnancy, it damages their infants’ developing lungs (1)

Reproductive Problems

Smoking harms every phase of reproduction

Smoking increases the risk of complications during pregnancy, it raises the risk of premature birth, low birth weight infants, stillbirth, and infant mortality

Infants exposed to secondhand smoke after birth have double the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS (1)

Eye Disease

Smoking is already a known risk factor for age-related macular degeneration, cataract and thyroid eye disease. Now, the first study to specifically examine the impact of smoking on uveitis-inflammation of the eye’s middle layer of tissue-indicates that tobacco smoke likely plays a role in this serious eye disease, as well. (2)

The Good News About Quitting and Reducing Risk:

In case you are thinking what’s the use you have smoked for too long, don’t give up, according to the American Cancer Society:

When smokers quit — What are the benefits over time?

20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate and blood pressure drops.

(Mahmud A, Feely J. Effect of Smoking on Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure Amplification. Hypertension. 2003;41:183.)

12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1988, p. 202)

2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung function increases.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1990, pp. 193, 194, 196, 285, 323)

1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1990, pp. 285-287, 304)

1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker’s.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1990, p. vi)

5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker 5 to 15 years after quitting.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1990, p. vi)

10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a person who continues smoking. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decrease, too.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1990, pp. vi, 131, 148, 152, 155, 164, 166)

15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker’s.

(U.S. Surgeon General’s Report, 1990, p. vi)

Biomonitoring for exposure to trace elements in utero: Analysis of the human placenta. $49.99 The placenta forms in eutherian mammals, and is responsible for the nutrition of the developing fetus. However, maternal exposure to environmental pollutants both before and during pregnancy may result in the passage of toxins through the placental barrier and into fetal tissues. The placenta is the only organ derived from both maternal and fetal tissues, and establishes a link between the fetus and the environmental exposures of the mother. The analysis of placentae for the presence of environmental pollutants offers the possibility of exposure measurements in both the mother and the developing fetus. Specifically, trace element determination in human placentae may reveal fetal nutritional requirements, as well as identify potential indicators of negative health effects in both the mother and fetus.;The principal goal of this project is to analyze approximately 160 archived human term placental tissues (placenta body, placenta membrane, and umbilical cord) for essential trace elements, such as copper, zinc, and selenium, nonessential trace elements, including mercury, lead, and cadmium, and the rare earth elements of the lanthanide series. Sample preparation procedures focus on trace element homogeneity within the placenta, and contamination prevention. Analytical methodologies based on inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) are developed and validated for all analytes of interest, using a variety of quality control materials. Subsequently, total element concentrations in each tissue component are measured and compared. Possible inter-element correlations within each tissue component are identified, as well as potential associations between analytical measurements and selected demographic and obstetric variables collected from the population studied.;Results indicate that the placenta largely accumulates cadmium, an element strongly correlated with maternal smoking behavior. Lead and mercury

Coalworker’s Pneumoconiosis $56.4 Used – High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Black lung disease, also known as Coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP), is caused by long exposure to coal dust. It is a common affliction of coal miners and others who work with coal, similar to both silicosis from inhaling silica dust, and to the long-term effects of tobacco smoking. Inhaled coal dust progressively builds up in the lungs and is unable to be removed by the body; that leads to inflammation, fibrosis, and in the worst case, necrosi

Conquering Depression and Anxiety Through Exercise $11.99 One out of every two Americans will suffer from some mental problems during their lifetimes, the most typical afflictions being depression and anxiety. How do most of us cope? Usually, we turn to overeating, drinking, and smoking. As a result, two out of every three Americans are overweight or obese, and fifty percent of annual deaths in this country can be defined as “optional”-the result of diseases that could have been avoided had we lived differently. In short, we treat our unhealthy mental reactions to the American lifestyle with even unhealthier physical habits. Psychologist Keith Johnsgard-an inveterate jogger who is in his 70’s!-proposes a better solution in this uplifting book, a concept he dubs the “sneaker solution.” Why not turn to exercise-one of the healthiest aspects of American lifestyle-as a means of improving not just our physical well-being but our state of mind as well? Though usually associated with losing weight and physical fitness, exercise does in fact offer many mental health benefits. Johnsgard inspires us to put on a pair of sneakers and start moving. He draws from a lifetime of research in sports psychology and scientific studies to make a convincing case that exercise can greatly enhance our mental outlook. Further, the positive mental effects of physical activity can be as effective as psychotherapy or drug treatment, and make you look better, to boot! Exercise not only elevates mood, but improves self-esteem and energy levels and tends to lessen substance abuse and anxiety.Johnsgard-who’s served as an expert commentator for the CBS Winter Olympics-also offers keen insights into how to get yourself motivated to do exercise, how to work exercise into your regular routine, and how to best use weight-loss and fat-reducing techniques. He explains in clear language the basics of exercise physiology and its effect on both your mind and your body, ushering in the results of studies that he and others have conducted.If

Effects Of Smoking On Postoperative Body Temperatures. $69 Liza Colette Broll,Paperback, English-language edition,Pub by ProQuest, UMI Dissertation Publishing

Effects of resistance exercise on the HPA axis and cardiovascular responses to psychological stress during short-term smoking abstinence in men. $49.99 Recent evidence has shown that early smoking relapse is associated with dysregulated stress response and exaggerated mood state. Although exercise has been shown to be another effective intervention to smoking cessation, no study has yet investigated the role of exercise in mediating the stress systems during short-term smoking abstinence. Purpose. The purposes of this study were to examine the effects of resistance exercise on (1) the HPA axis and cardiovascular responses to mental challenge; (2) withdrawal symptoms, urge to smoke and stress, during 24-hour smoking abstinence in men. Methods. 8 sedentary male smokers (mean +/- SD age: 20.1 +/- 1.7 y; height: 171.6 +/- 10.8 cm; body mass: 70.4 +/- 12.0 kg; smoking history: 2.9 +/- 0.8 y) completed 24-hour ad libitum smoking trial followed by two 24-hour smoking abstinence trials in which subjects perform 6 whole body resistance exercises (EX) or rest (NEX) in the morning followed by mental challenge in the afternoon. Salivary and serum cortisol, adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH), heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) were measured at pre-abstinence (Rest), before and after exercise or rest time (Pre-AM, IP-AM and 30-AM), before and after mental challenge (Pre-PM, IP-PM and 30-PM). Results. Resistance exercise significantly (p≤0.05) elevated plasma ACTH, serum cortisol, HR and SBP at IP-AM during EX trial compared to ad libitum smoking or NEX trials. However, the resting ACTH, salivary and serum cortisol concentrations at Pre-PM were not significantly different between EX and NEX trials. In contrast, HR (p=.051) and SBP were significantly higher at Pre-PM during EX trial. The HPA axis response to mental challenge was not significantly different between EX and NEX trials, though HR response to mental challenge was significantly greater during EX trial. A bout of resistance exercise did not reduce the withdrawal symptoms, urge to smoke and stress. Conclusion. These

Effects of smoking on postoperative body temperatures. $49.99 Hypothermia and smoking individually present challenges to anesthesia providers and increase complication rates in surgical patients. This study sought to determine whether smoking affected the outcome of postoperative body temperatures following general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hypothesis was that smokers will have lower post-operative body temperatures than non-smokers following general anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A convenience sample chart review was performed on 29 patients fitting the designated profile of 20 to 40 years of age. Preoperative and postoperative temperatures were compared among non-smokers (N = 16) and smokers (N = 13) using statistical analysis. There was no statistical difference for preoperative or postoperative temperatures in this group. However, this study did provide further evidence that use of a forced air warming system helps to prevent hypothermia in the surgical setting.

Hypnosis Mania $2.99 You thought you’ve done the right things. Headed for the right direction. Made the right moves. Still, things still are not turning out fine. For example, you have long wanted to shed off those excess pounds, to trim and shape your body according to your ideal weight. You tried it all – diet, exercise, medicine, and machine! Still the pounds stubbornly refused to leave, making you more miserable and making you want to eat more! Or another example: Since time immemorial, you have urged, encouraged, and supported a loved one in his goal to quit smoking. His lungs are almost ready to give up from being exposed to nicotine for years and years. The doctor says there is now a thin line between him and lung cancer. So you gather up all your efforts to help him get off the stick. You almost drained your finances just by trying the different methods, but to no avail. Even something as simple as getting your little brother to quit biting his nails did not go away after your endless coaxing, threats and nagging!So how can hypnosis solve all these problems?Hypnosis is a procedure that taps into your subconscious, putting you in a state of a trance that would bring you under extreme suggestibility.This means that through hypnosis, you can be “fed” suggestions about your personality, habits, behavior, and way of thinking that can influence your life immensely.

Post-surgery or post-operation, hypnosis is also used to prevent infection or unpleasant side effects. Mental health professionals use hypnosis as part of the therapy for patients with psychological conditions. Hypnosis is used to

Smoking Cessation $2.99 Smoking is the greatest cause of preventable illness and early death in the US. Every day smoking claims the lives of about 1,000 Americans. Continued use of tobacco causes addiction. That is, the smoker becomes dependent on nicotine and its effects on the mind and body.

The user’s lack of tobacco causes withdrawal symptoms such as craving nicotine, frustration, irritability, difficulty concentrating, anger and anxiety. Withdrawal symptoms (the body’s reaction to the physical “need” for nicotine) are what make quitting so difficult.Most smokers want to quit, and many have tried more than once. Quitting is not easy, but it is possible. Successfully stopping the use of tobacco may mean using one or more of the methods outlined in this concise publication.
