SMOKE FREE CIG-RETTES"INFORMATION TO QUIT SMOKING" Here are at least three reasons to Quit Smoking, please read on. 1. Increased physical freedom 2. Increased financial freedom 3. Increased freedom for those around you Here is what current studies say about each of these points. 1. Increased physical freedom Tobacco use kills about 450,000 smokers each year The lag time for experiencing the full effects of smoking cessation on lung cancer can be up to 20 years, so the sooner we quit smoking the better! The risk of heart disease in smokers versus nonsmokers is 157% higher. After 1 year of cessation the risk is down to 63% and it is 38% after 3 years. * American Journal of Public Health, 1990 Aug; 80(8) 954-8. Smokers are 50% more likely to be hospitalized than those who do not smoke. 2. Increased financial freedom Men and women smokers are absent from work 66% and 23% more than nonsmoking men and women. * Social Science and Medicine 1995 Aug; 41(3): 437-46. Some insurance companies are now offering reductions of up to 50% for nonsmokers life insurance policies and more than 30% off health insurance premiums. 3. Increased freedom of those around you 60,000 non-smokers die each year from diseases directly related to the passive inhalation of secondhand smoke. Children of smoking mothers have an increased incidence of post-infancy wheezing (primarily bronchitis) through 10 years of age. The incidence increased 14% with exposure to 4 cigs./day and increased 49% with exposure to more than 14 cigs./day. * American Journal of Public Health 1989 Feb.; 79(2), 168-71. 3000 lung cancer deaths occurred in 1992 from nonsmokers inhaling the smoke of those they lived with. |

Cigarettes flood the body, quite quickly, with a range of active chemicals. Quite a lot of attention is given to just one of the components of smoke: nicotine. But there are other chemicals and other effects of smoking (both physiological and psychological) which are equally important in maintaining the habit of smoking. Apart from giving you nicotine, cigarettes provide the body with chemicals which stimulate certain food digesting functions of the body such as, enzymes. Enzymes are the tools which the body uses to break down the food we eat, and are also used for the 'thinking' process. Smoking a cigarette stimulates the activity of some vital enzymes. So, for very 'real' chemical reasons you feel better when you use this natural herb (tobacco). Yes, whether you realize it or not, you are already a 'believer' in the power of herbs and their effect on the human body. Cigarettes are made of herbal substances which effect our bodies' functions in a number of ways. This is the reason that people smoke consistently for many years (and often their entire lives): cigarettes are an herbal way to adjust your body chemistry. The main reason people smoke is because smoking provides a natural herbal extract which helps to stimulate the body's biochemical processes. Unfortunately, there are also some long-term, negative effects of smoking which have been well publicized and documented. Tobacco smoking is the single most important cause of preventable premature death and suffering in the world. Not only are cigarettes bad for your long-term health, but cigarette costs are becoming increasingly expensive, and smoking is becoming increasingly unacceptable in many social places. The most important constituents of tobacco smoke are nicotine (for its pharmacological and addictive effect), tar (the carcinogenic fraction) and carbon monoxide (atherogenic fraction). One important finding is that when individuals change from a high strength cigarette to a lower strength cigarette, the pattern of smoking changes so as to maintain the same level of nicotine intake. Have you had that experience? Nicotine produces stimulant effects, while large doses produce depressant effects. This effect may differ between individuals, and between different circumstances in the same individuals. Nicotine is addictive. Tar, itself, is a very complex substance which tends to collect in the lungs, and has been clinically linked to several forms of lung cancer. Carbon monoxide enters the bloodstream, and depletes oxygen availability to the brain, thus slowing the 'thought' process, and depriving brain cells of the nutrients needed to maintain good health and normal functionality. Lung cancer, atherosclerosis, decreased HDL, increased LDL, and increased blood carbon monoxide could produce endothelial hypoxia, increased platelet reactivity, increased plasma fibrinogen concentration resulting in an increase in blood viscosity, and smokers' polycythemia (caused by elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels). Did you know that the mean birth weight of infants born to mothers who smoke during pregnancy is 6 oz. less than that of infants born to non-smoking mothers? And the incidence of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) may also be increased in pregnant women who smoke. Virtually everyone who smokes regularly, sooner or later, becomes addicted. The issue is not exclusively 'how many' cigarettes we smoke....it's also about our relationship to smoking. We build an entire 'response to life' around our cigarette smoking habits. As a result, tobacco addiction exists within both the body and the mind. It is not solely a physical addiction. When we stop smoking, nicotine is out of our system within five-to-seven days, and our bodies no longer crave tobacco, even though we may feel the physical effects of healing for some extended time. It's our mind that tells us we need to smoke again.
