| Smoking Cessation Effects |
Question:
Looking for good reasons to quit smoking so I figured I would look for various effects of smoking to help convince me...
Answer:
Heres a few that you may not know:
Smoking one cigarette immediately raises a person's blood pressure and
heart rate and decreases the blood flow to body extremities such as the
fingers and toes.
Appetite, taste and smell are weakened.
Smoking can cause impotence in men, while women who smoke are less
fertile than non-smokers.
People who smoke tend to have facial wrinkles appearing much earlier
and, in general, look older than non-smokers of the same age.
Smoking during pregnancy can affect the unborn child, and babies are
more likely to be born underweight, premature or stillborn.
Passive smoking, where a person is subject to breathing in the
cigarette smoke of others, can cause lung damage, including cancer and
heart disease.
And the list goes on for the possible effects if you do no quit smoking...
