Can you give a lecture on the negative effects of smoking cigarettes, so i have my husband read it?
What are the long term, negative effects of smoking cigarettes? I am trying to help my husband, who has been smoking for 10 years, to quit. Maybe if he hears from others, besides me, it will help.
Be honest, be dramtic if you have to! Dont sugar-coat it! If you can provide links with pictures of lungs, etc, that would help.
Really give it to him! Dont be scared. He needs to know what can, might, and will happen.
Please no cussing though, or putting him down, that doesnt help a person.
Thanks!
Alot of bad side effects. Quit now and your lungs will start to repair themselves. I hate I missed your earlier question, but 16 drops = 1 cc/ml., 5ml = 1tsp, 15 ml = 1 TBS… Nurse Stay RN, BSN

Cigar Smoking is Bad for Your Health
We have all heard of the risks associated with smoking cigarettes, but what are the risks of cigar smoking? Are the risks of smoking cigars just as dangerous, or more so? According to the National Cancer Instituted, regular cigar smoking can result in a major health threat. Scientific research has linked cigar smoking with cancers of the larynx, lungs, esophagus, and oral cavity. Newer research also indicates that cigar smoking may be strongly linked to the development of cancer in the pancreas. Doctors also caution that individuals who regularly inhale while enjoying a cigar are also at greater risk of developing lung disease and heart problems.
The health threats of cigar smoking appear to increase dramatically in those individuals who smoke regularly and inhale while smoking. Someone who smokes three to four cigars each day will him or herself at eight times the risk of developing some kind of oral cancer than a nonsmoker. Unfortunately, we do not yet know the health risks of smoking the occasional cigar. It seems clear however that smoking cigars on a daily basis can pose serious health risks.
Many individuals wonder if cigars are as addictive as cigarettes. Many wonder why, for instance, so many people become addicted to cigarettes, and not cigars? The truth is that any tobacco product can become addictive because it contains nicotine. Witness the effects of smokeless tobacco products on individuals. These products, such as chewing tobacco, can become very addictive, simply because they contain tobacco, which in turn contains nicotine. Many cigar smokers do not inhale deeply, thus causing the nicotine to be inhaled superficially. Cigarette smokers tend to inhale, causing the nicotine to be absorbed faster and more readily by the lungs. Even though most cigar smokers inhale the nicotine more superficially, it is still possible to become addicted if the user smokes cigars on a regular basis.
If nicotine is so addictive, why don’t more cigar smokers smoke more often? It appears that more people avoid becoming ‘hooked’ on cigars for several reasons. The most obvious reason is that the nicotine is inhaled much more superficially than in regular cigarette smoking, causing less nicotine to be absorbed by the body. Also, cigars are not as readily accessible as cigarettes. They are viewed by most as a luxury item, saved for special occasions and used infrequently. However, when cigars are smoked on a regular basis, they can become addictive. The health risks of any kind of smoking increase dramatically as frequency of use increases.

stop smoking.. cigs?
i need so motivation.. any one got any good web sites.. you know showing the effects on your lungs..etc.. with pictures..i am going to have my teeth clean weds.. and thinking about stopping .. i hate the yellow look
Pictures will not make you quit smoking…..what WILL though is when some doctor in a hospital looks you in the eye and says you have MAYBE 2 months to MAYBE 5 years if you are lucky……you have conjestive heart failure AND pulmonary hypertension and your lungs ache and every so often your oxygen level drops and you pass out and you use an oxygen mask and condensor every night to help you breathe….and you may not see your only child get married or present you with a grandchild and you have SO many things to do and probably not much time to do them…. This little story is TRUE unfortunately and it’s MINE… I was a pack a day smoker for 35 years and the day the doc told me I was going to die, was 3 days after I had quit and that was 6 months ago and I haven’t had one since and NEVER want one again…. The trick is to KEEP you hands busy…. I substituted oranges for cigarettes—my hands were busy peeling them, pulling them apart and eating them….in about 5 days I stopped craving cigarettes…. it’s difficult, but if you do it when you are still young, you MIGHT have a good chance to see 80…. I, on the other hand am PRAYING to reach 60….(but I don’t think I will)….Any time you quit is a good time–any time you don’t quit is another day less that you will be alive…. Think about it—it’s too late for me, but knowing what I am going through will help someone ELSE kick the habit… then I would tell the WORLD about it to help ONE person quit!!!!!!

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
