Smoking Effects

After quitting smoking decision is made, the healing process has begun, that is the good news. And with the healing process underway, the benefits of quitting smoking begin to accrue and increase in magnitude with each hour, with each day that is smoke-free.

Quitting smoking benefits by restoring health. Smoking is destructive to :

• One’s health (found in circulatory, heart, respiratory, and other conditions)
• The health and well-being of unborn children and infants (as found in mothers smoking during pregnancy and breastfeeding )
• And it is destructive to public health (as found in the impact of secondhand smoke on non-smokers).

• Thus it is, that the decision to quit smoking has immense benefits primarily for the smoker, and then for everyone in the home and beyond.

Quitting smoking will benefit even those with smoking-related diseases and ailments, and ex-smokers live healthier and longer, and chances are, happier, freer lives than those who keep smoking.

Here’s a look at some of the other many benefits that invariably come after quitting smoking :

Costs – the cost of maintaining not just the smoking of tobacco but insurance and health-care for the smoker are astronomical.

Social benefits - smokers today invariably find themselves up against some form of discrimination and exclusion rule or other; at work, in employment, insurance, residence, public places, recreation facilities and even among friends and family! Quitting smoking thus heals and restores relationships.

Personal Hygiene: you will enjoy freedom from the stale smell of tobacco in your breath, hair, clothes, bedding and home. Stained teeth, fingers and fingernails also become a thing of the past. Your sense of taste and smell return to normal.

The benefits of quitting smoking today are far greater than any physical ‘disadvantages’ or difficulties or temporary discomforts that the smoker may experience once she has made the decision to quit smoking.
Go on, make that decision,take that step, and start enjoying quitting smoking benefits.
