The Reasons to Stop SmOking!!!

  • Brain and nervous system activities are stimulated for a short time and then reduced.
  • A smoker may often experience dizziness, nausea, watery eyes and acid in the stomach.
  • Appetite, taste and smell are subsequently weakened.
  • Smoking during pregnancy can affect the unborn child, and babies are more likely to be born underweight, premature or be stillborn.
  • Passive smoking, where a person is subject to breathing in cigarette smoke of others, can cause lung damage, including cancer and heart disease.
  • Risk of developing respiratory infections such as pneumonia and chronic bronchitis.
  • Risk of developing emphysema ( a progressive and potentially fatal lung disease).
  • Risk of developing heart attack and coronary disease.
  • Risk of developing cancer of the lungs, throat, mouth, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix and stomach.
  • Smoking one cigarette immediately raises a person's blood pressure and heart rate and decreases the blood flow to body extremities such as the fingers and toes.
