Tobacco or cigarette smoking is an addictive habit which is quite popular among teenagers and young adults these days. Because cigarettes have large amount of nicotine (highly addictive drug) in order to get users hooked up. So there is no surprise that the millions people worldwide finding it really hard to quit smoking. Although the effects of smoking on our bodies are quite well known to both smokers and non-smokers people still getting hooked on smoking, and this addiction to nicotine and in many cases long term habit makes quitting really hard to most people.
Smoking is known to be a norm with in some social circles, especially among teenagers and young adults, and generally socially accepted this habit has no benefits to both smokers and non-smokers. Not only smoking is highly addictive and hooks you in spending lots of money on cigarettes, but also it can result in serious life threatening diseases and also it will result in less serious but still quite disgusting problems like bad breath, yellow teeth and fingers, bad skin etc. Also smoking effects not only the smoker but the people around the smoker as well because the smoke which getting emitted from your lungs contains huge amounts of poisonous chemicals which are quite bad for human health and the biggest problem of second-hand smoke is that in most cases it affects children around you.
The Ugly Effects of Smoking
Statistics shows that smoking is the most common reason for premature death among smokers. Statistics also shows that every year due to illnesses and diseases caused by smoking more than 400000 people die in the United States alone. And the really disturbing part of it is that fatalities also include children who are merely exposed to second-hand smoke from their parents or relatives. How would you feel if you knew that your smoking killed your child, think about it for a minute?
Did you know that when you smoke, every time you inhale, you actually inhaling more than 4800 different harmful chemicals, 69 of which are shown to trigger different cancer related diseases? Smoking is shown to be responsible for more than 90 percent of lung cancer fatalities in United States and also smoking is responsible for about 80-90 percent of fatalities from other respiratory diseases. If you manage to quit smoking the chances of lung cancer or other respiratory disease is dramatically reduced.
Also smoking does not only affect your respiratory system, smoking also attributed as a major cause of strokes, heart illnesses, and a number of other life threatening diseases. Statistics shows that every year a huge number of people are being diagnosed with life threatening diseases due to inhalation of smoke and what is quite alarming that the number includes both smokers and non-smokers so this is clearly shows that second-hand inhalation of cigarette smoke is nearly as bad as smoking itself.
Another alarming statistics shows that every year there are more and more young kids are treated for respiratory and coronary diseases as the result of second-hand smoke inhalation. Kids are more likely to have things like asthma, allergies, poor immune system and other nasty diseases in families where one or more parent or relative smokes then in a smoke free families. Also in smoking families it is much more likely that kids will start smoking as well when they get a bit older.
Also if you are a pregnant woman surrounded by smokers or a smoker yourself, your baby most probably will develop one or more of the following conditions, which will affect him for the rest of his/her life, weak heart and lungs with curtailed lung function and narrow air passages. In some cases smoking can also lead to premature birth or even death of a child. Do you want to kill your own baby or damage him/her for the rest of the life?
Other Negative Effects of Smoking
Aside from high risk of developing serious life threatening diseases as well as negative short term effects from smoking, you exposing yourself to other serious consequences when you smoking. These consequences include dental problems, hygiene problems etc.
You may think that smoking looks cool, but in reality smoking is very unhygienic. When you smoke your teeth tend to become yellow or even brown because of the tar deposits from cigarette smoke stay on your teeth. Also smoking results in higher risk of developing gum diseases and plague. And this can result in expensive procedures to get your mouth and teeth back into good condition.
Also smoking significantly increases the risk of losing your teeth. Medical statistics shows that the average tooth damage among smokers range 1.5 to 2.9 percent every 10 years. This means that if you were to start smoking when you 18 you are quite likely to lose about five teeth by the time you turn 35.
In addition to the above smoking shown to slow down healing process after injury or medical procedure. So not only you will have longer in a hospital or out of work but it will also cost you more.
And if everything mentioned above is not enough, smoking has a potential to ruin not only your health but also your physical appearance. Smoking tends to speed up the aging process which in turn makes your skin and hair look dull and aged. As a smoker you also tend to have more wrinkles but the worst part of smoking is that over time your hair and your body start to smell of smoke. And it takes a long time to get rid of that smell even if you quit smoking. Also as you can see all this will make you less attractive to the other gender and will highly reduce the chances of finding a partner.
It is your choice if you want to smoke or not but remember one thing in a long run there is a very high chance of causing serious damage to your body and I can relate to it as I was there. The good thing is I managed to quit in time.

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.

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 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. |

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. As use of tobacco continues, the desire to avoid the discomfort of withdrawal leads to compulsive use and a high rate of relapse when smokers attempt to quit.Withdrawal is the process of quitting smoking. 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. |
