Ok, so we all know that smoking is bad, well at least everyone should know by now shouldn’t they? Wherever you are I guarantee you won’t be allowed to forget how bad smoking is for you. Let’s face it if you haven’t received the message about giving up smoking by now you never will. I should think by now we all know that lung cancer, in the majority of cases is caused by smoking and not just to those people over 65 years of age or those with a genetic disposition.
Just one cigarette can leave traces on your lungs for a month, so you don’t have to be a regular smoker. That’s just one cigarette, I dread to imagine how serious the damage is with a whole pack. After all this time, if you are still one of those ‘I don’t know’ people then you need to start reading some articles on lung cancer that may sway you.
There is no excuse not to keep informed nowadays especially with all the resources and tips to quit smoking there are to help you. You prevent things before they occur, and you seek the newest medications upon the detection of a health affliction. With smoking, common sense rarely rules the day with most smokers ignoring the warnings. Some individuals just need a scare before they can get on the smoke-free bandwagon. It’s hard to ignore respiratory problems of your own, shortness of breath, hacking cough etc.
Knowing this, how stupid would you have to be to continue smoking, albeit through a slit in your throat, after having cancer of the same. I though I had seen some truly bizarre things in my life before this but this person is living (for now) proof that there are some people that just cannot quit smoking. There has always been evidence that smoking can cause serious respiratory problems but now all that knowledge and research is available to anyone who is interested.
Any articles on lung cancer, asthma and Bronchitis can inform you of this. Then there is what they call passive smoking or inhaling the smoke from other people’s cigarettes. The case for this is now so strong, more and more countries and places are making smoking illegal in specific areas so isn’t it time you wised up?
