Quit Smoking Now

Quit Smoking

Wow, I just came back to post and looked at the google ads. They are all about d**th certificates !!
If that's not a sign, people, I don't know what is !!

Anyway.....

Did you know ?
A smoker’s baby is more likely to:

• be stressed during labour, leading to a complicated birth
• have a low birth weight, making health problems more likely
• di* at, or shortly after, birth
• di* of cot death, or SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome)
• have coughs, colds and other breathing problems
• get ear infections
• develop asthma.

I'd like to know if there are any affects on babies due to passive smoking. I can't find any info at the moment, but if anyone has some, please let me know :)

Good Luck,

Rachel.

Quit Smoking NOW !

For some people quitting smoking is as easy as putting it down one day and never touching them again.
For others it turns into a life-long battle.

I know it doesn't help those who are entrenched in the smoking-psyche, but here some quick facts;

  • The risk of d**ng from lung cancer is more than 22 times higher among men who smoke cigarettes, and about 12 times higher among women who smoke cigarettes compared with never smokers.
  • More d**ths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.
  • Cigarette smoking increases the risk for many types of cancer, including cancers of the lip, oral cavity, and pharynx; esophagus; pancreas; larynx (voice box); lung; uterine cervix; urinary bladder; and kidney.
Horrible, Huh ?!

Well, wait 'til I get to the uses of the chemicals that go into cigarettes !

Anyway, it is a well known fact that many struggle with quitting smoking, I hope to check into various programs which can help with that.


The first I checked out was here.
I'm always the first to knock the cognitive targetting when it comes to smoking, but this actually does work for people !

They guarantee your satisfaction and will even do phone consults if needed. Impressive to see people standing by their product like that....

Anyway, until next time,

Quit Smoking !!!
