Quit Smoking Myths, Advice & Facts
Quit Smoking Myths, Advice & Facts
Quit Smoking and your body will return to its normal pre-smoking state. The aforementioned thought and statement made by some in the scientific community for years has been adopted by many of us. It is a thought that has led millions of people to not quit smoking. I mean, why Quit Smoking if you can shut it down at any moment in the future with an accompanying clean bill of health? Teenagers hold this belief. Teen smoking rates have increased almost 33% in the years 1993-1998. Smoking during the years 16 to age 28 is especially dangerous because many organs that are not fully developed will continue undeveloped due to smoking cigarettes.
Cigarettes are the attractively packaged form of a pharmacologically active substance called nicotine mixed with noxious chemicals. People that smoke for even 10 years have shown a higher rate of death, disease and disability. Moreover, the nonsmoker that was a smoker but Quit Smoking years ago is still at risk. There is apparently more risk to the respiratory system and to cancer symptoms years after people quit smoking. So, it has become delusional for people, especially teen smokers to think that they can quit smoking after 10-15 years and not experience side effects, even years down the road. And we are talking about those people who are lucky enough to be able to quit smoking forever. It is preferable to quit smoking at any age and at any time no matter the length of time people have smoked cigarettes and no matter the quantity smoked during that time. The health risks associated with smoking diminish if people quit smoking, sooner rather than later. If people continue to smoke cigarettes, risks that health problems will occur increase.

Shocking Smoking Facts and Tobacco Statistics
As smokers, we learn early on to put up a mental wall of denial between our smoking habit and the harsh reality of the damage we’re inflicting on ourselves with every cigarette smoked.
We tell ourselves lies that allow us smoke with some level of comfort. We say we have time to quit…that cancer doesn’t run in our family…that we can quit any time we want to…that the bad things happen to other people. And because smoking is typically a slow killer, those lies support the framework of our wall of denial for years and years.
Eventually though, most smokers find that the wall begins to crumble, and bit by bit, smoking becomes a fearful, anxious activity. This is when most smokers start seriously thinking about how they might find a way to quit smoking for good.
Smoking Cessation
The Side Effects Associated with Smoking
Smoking cessation is imperative in order to reverse associated ill health effects. The ability to reverse ill health effects is dependent on quite a few factors. For instance, before your smoking cessation period began, how many cigarettes per day did you smoke and approximately how many days (years) did you smoke? In addition, one must also be cognizant of his physiological susceptibility, genetics, the presence of other diseases and nutrition.
Smoking cessation brings about health benefits at any age. However, there may be a threshold, a point of no return aspect to smoking cigarettes that everyone should be aware of, including teenage smokers (for more info go to Smoking Statistics). Just because you have decided to smoke for 20 years, then figured all health benefit would return once smoking cessation set in, doesn’t mean your health will return. The more you do smoke cigarettes, the greater the danger that irreversible effects have already set in such as tobacco-related cancers, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD).
