Why Quit Smoking Now?
We are going to
furnish some instant benefit of quitting smoking which have been
found over years and these data are furnished based on research on
people who have quit smoking
- The Heart Rate drops just after 20 minutes of quitting smoking
- The level of carbon monoxide comes back to normal level after 12
hours of quitting smoking
- The Blood circulation improves and the lung function shows a
significant improvement after 2 to 3 weeks of quitting smoking
- Mostly Smoking gives birth to diseases like coughing which is
fuelled by smoking. Severity of Bronchitis enhances due to smoking.
Asthma is another disease, which is highly affected by smoking. Even
the breathing of a normal person has been observed to be shortened
as a result of continuous smoking. It has been observed that it
takes 1 to 9 months after quitting smoking to remove these physical
disorders. But a significant improvement can be visible.
(All these data has been collected from the website of American
Cancer Society)
Withdrawal Symptoms
Smoking means Nicotine which is highly inductive to the body as well
mind just like heroin or cocaine. Nicotine does not only pollute the
physical parts of the body but it affects it psychologically as
well. So, the mere thought of quitting smoking adversely affects
your mind. So one will definitely feel desperate to continue it
rather than quit. The unwanted and unavoidable pressure from friends
and colleagues can also not be denied. You make yourself aware of
your future if and only if you are determined enough to control
yourself from being lured into such a close association. So, we
suggest, first of all you need to be convinced of the reasons for
quitting smoking. We must say that the decision to quit as well as
sticking to it demands devotion.
The symptoms
- You may feel dizziness for first few days. You will also feel
awkward tiredness. This is due to the lack of the particular intake
of tobacco at a very specific time of the day.
- Mental Depression - as Nicotine has got a charming effect in
boosting you up
- Impatience and Anger - The effect of Nicotine is NOT limited to
the lungs only, it casts its spread over the blood vessels, brain,
hormonal system and your metabolism. So the effect of withdrawal may
cause a disharmony in your entire physical system, which puts an
extra pressure on your mind in this competitive world where stress,
strain and stress have become your all time companions.
- Sleeping & Focusing - This is the reaction to certain disorders of
your hormonal system. As your mind needs to be at its tune for a
proper sleep as well as focusing in any job which demands your 100%
worth, you feel the loss of harmony
- Appetite and Digestion - The physicians have experienced
paradoxical results as a change in appetite and digestion after quit
smoking. In some cases, the mental tension due to non-smoking of a
cigarette has found to cause indigestion. In some other cases, the
withdrawal of Nicotine has shown a direct impact on metabolism
resulting in an additional appetite for the individual.
The Royal College of Physicians
In
their book, Nicotine Addiction in Britain, The Royal College of Physicians(http://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/)strictly denies the
psychological effect of Nicotine in human beings. They say,
“Demonstration of nicotine addiction and evidence of putative
underlying neurobiological mechanisms in animals do not establish
conclusively that nicotine has psychological effects in man.
Furthermore, much of the evidence on the psychological effects of
nicotine in man is derived from studies of smokers, and the question
therefore arises as to how much any psychological effect of smoking
is in fact attributable to nicotine”.
