Quit smoking Programme - Review By A Smoker
Isn't the video scary Yes it is and if You are scared then it is good because now u know that what happens to your body when You smoke.
Hi Dear Smoker,
Smoking has become such an usual part of our life that nowadays we sometimes dont even notice that if the person next to me is smoking or not. Even I was a smoker for so many years but I never realised that I was addicted to it untill I started to quit it Believe me quiting smoking was one of the toughest task that ever came upto me in my life. It is easier for all others Non-smoker to say this " OHH its such a bad habit Why dont you just quit smoking , But the real test is for the person whos has been smoking for so many years and is addicted to it knowingly or unknowingly ".
The real Task :
After being told about the so many harmful effects of nicotine I deciede to stop. I will mention some of the harmful effects so that it will just ignite the fire in You also which was in me when I first started my journey of quitting this deadly addiction
1.CANCER :
Cigarette smoking accounts for at least 30% of all cancer deaths. It is a major cause of cancers of the lung, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, pharynx (throat), esophagus (swallowing tube connected to the stomach), and bladder, and it contributes to the development of cancers of the pancreas, cervix, kidney, stomach, and also some leukemias.
Smoking is responsible for about 87% of lung cancer deaths.
More than 4,000 individual chemicals have been identified in tobacco and tobacco smoke. Among these are more than 60 chemicals that are known carcinogens (cancer-causing agents).
2.NICOTINE :
Nicotine is found in substantial amounts in all forms of tobacco. It is absorbed readily through the lungs with cigarette smoking and through the mouth or nose with oral tobacco. From these entry points, nicotine quickly spreads throughout the body. (source cancer.org)
I didnt wanted to die with all these so I decieded to quit it but it was at this time that I realised " Man I just can't quit it I am addicted" OH God that were the most horrible moments of my life.
Although 70% of smokers want to quit and more than 40% try to quit each year, fewer than 5% succeed.(cancer.org)
I startded using many products everything that I can find but most of them were mere crap and I dont know who really made them and why were they being sold but then there were some products so expensive that one just cannot afford them like :
A Nicotrol Inhaler cost approx. $509.88.
3 months of chewing Nicorettes will cost approx. $337.50
7 weeks of swallowing Zyban pills will cost you anywhere from $160.08 to $300.00+
3 months of "withdrawal munchies" (with other programs) will add at least $700.00 to your grocery bill.
So if You really want to quit smoking and live a happy and good life please give it a chance as I did and found my New Life!
