Let Me Start this Article with A very Interesting question Regarding Cigarette Smoking, which is.....
What is the Famous 'Myth' about Cigarette smoking in Our Society?
I wanted to dicuss how most Often..A common person having NO Smoking background, Starts smoking, in our society.Well...
He might be offered a Cigarette either by his friends or peers and asked to try one saying "Ik cigarette tou pi kar dekho, ik Cigarette peenay se kuch nahi hota", To which I'd like to respond that 'Only one cigarette can make you more prone to heart diseases than a Nonsmoker '.
Besides this, mostly 'sirf ik cigarette' is the starting point of almost majority of the chronic smokers in our society,
And ONCE... A person becomes a cigarette smoker, he is more liable to smoke other addictive toxic material too like 'Sheesha' etc or try out harmful drugs like heroine,cocaine etc.
COMPOSITION OF CIGARETTE
As We all know that Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide which is a very toxic n dangerous gas BUT....
Do you know that Cigarette smoke is a toxic mix of more than 7,000 chemicals??!!!
On inhalation, these chemicals can interfere with important processes in the body that keep it functioning normally.
Which Means...
If you are smoking, you are not ONLY harming yourself but also everyone around you who inhales it !!
STATISTICS OF CIGARETTE SMOKING:
If you Are Wondering that tobacco smoking is NOT a big deal....you must know that !...
According to WHO (World Health Organization), tobacco use is currently responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year)....which makes Smoking, one of the leading causes of preventable death throughout the World !!
EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKING ON OUR BODY:
The chemicals in Cigarette can permanently damage your heart and blood vessels which can lead to cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
CVD is a generic term referring to multiple conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels which includes:
coronary heart disease
hypertension (high blood pressure)
heart attack
stroke
aneurysms
peripheral artery disease
Other rare but serious cardiovascular conditions caused by smoking include:
Peripheral Artery Disease (and peripheral vascular disease)
Does Smoking ONLY Effects Our HEART?
Apart from Cardiovascular diseases, Cigarette smoking is also the MAJOR cause of majority of cancers in our body.
HOW Cigarette Smoking EFFECTS OUR HEART?
Cigarette smoke can also cause CVD by causing a disease called atherosclerosis in which the cholesterol and other material deposits on the walls of arteries which are the the major blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your body.
This cholesterol deposition reduces the arterial cavity size causing more difficulty for blood cells to pass through them.
These cholesterol deposits can even break n block major vessels causing damage to the respective organ which it supplies,resulting in heart attack,stroke,kidney damage etc.
How Can You Protect Your Heart?
The best way to safeguard your heart is to simply never smoke cigarettes, besides ONE must always know how to SAY NO! to cigarettes or any harmful thing when suggested or offered.
But,if you are a smoker, the earlier you are able to quit, the better.
BENEFITS OF QUITTING CIGARETTE SMOKING:
Quitting smoking benefits your heart and cardiovascular system now and in the future:
1.Twenty minutes after you quit smoking, your heart rate drops
2.Just 12 hours after quitting smoking, the carbon monoxide level in the blood drops to normal, allowing more oxygen to vital organs like your heart.
3.Within four years of quitting, your risk of stroke drops to that of lifetime nonsmokers.
P.S isn't it good!!
How to quit smoking?
Although quitting smoking is difficult, it is achievable, and medicinal cessation therapies like FDA-APPROVED (Food And Drug Administration) nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) which has helped many addicted smokers to get through the hardest parts of quitting by lessening cravings and symptoms of withdrawal.
NRTs are proven safe and effective to help you quit smoking by delivering measured amounts of nicotine without the toxic chemicals found in cigarette smoke.
If you are a smoker and you are concerned about your cardiovascular health, consulting with your doctor about NRTs or other cessation options and seeking help with quitting may help you protect your heart long-term.
