If you smoke - so does your family
Sadly it is almost inevitable that the greater proportion of smokers will suffer from a smoking related illness at some time in their lives, with almost half of them dieing as a result of their habit a large number of them in their middle age. A large proportion of these people affected will contract lung diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema and COPD alongside heart disease, hardening of the arteries with all these conditions ultimately leading to a long and drawn out illness with a very poor prognosis, usually culminating ending in a drawn out and tragic loss of life, depriving children of their parents and grandchildren of grandparents.
Public Health Warnings in Britain which are displayed prominently on all tobacco products sold have recently started to include a warning of male impotency linked with the prolonged use of tobacco products. It has been estimated that over 100,000 men under the age of 40 may have become impotent as a direct result of smoking, with many claiming to be unaware of the risks.
When a person chooses to smoke it is not just himself that is put at these risks, but it is those around him as well. Close to 20,000 babies and infants have been hospitalised suffering from the effects of passive smoking over the past year in the UK alone.
Scientists state that infants who are placed in areas of risk from passive smoke have a greater chance of suffering cerebral palsy, cleft palate, glue ear, tonsillitis, bronchitis, throat and chest infections, and asthma and allergy symptoms.
Close to 50% of all domestic house fires in the UK are found to be linked to cigarette smoking with children often proven to be the worst casualties often trapped on upper floors of their homes until thy are overcome by smoke and fumes.
It is of course well recognised that children and young people will imitate the behaviour and habits of those around them. Is it any wonder then if parents smoke it is statistically fare more likely that their children will also take up the habit? Just in Britain 100's of youngsters take up smoking on a daily basis in an effort to emulate their parents and over three quarters of people who smoke will testify that they started to smoke when they were in their teens.
When surveyed it seems that people who have successfully stopped smoking took around 6 tries before they could claim to have finally managed to quit. Although a few people (around 20 in 100) claim to have quit smoking at the first try. The British non smoking charity ASH have published figures that reflect that almost 25% of all adults in the UK are people how once smoked but have now quit.
So with so many people managing to stop smoking forever there is no reason why you, the reader can not join their ranks and finally proclaim yourself to be an "ex-smoker" at last.
Question ex-smoker you know, ask them how they managed to stop the habit, it doesn't have to be as difficult as you may imagine, and often it's just a question of finding the right method or treatment that suits you personally. Once you've quit you'll never look back!
If you try to stop smoking but fail the message is "Don't Give Up" just try another way and keep trying until you finally quit for good.
