Smoking and Connected Diseases

January 27, 2009

It is common knowledge that smoking is bad for you. Nicotine can cause cancer, emphysema and numerous other conditions. Many think that by quitting smoking they will gain weight. It has not been stated whether this is a fact or not.

It has, however, been shown that out of the people that are quitting smoking, more women are kicking the habit than men. At one point, these figures were the complete opposite. More and more, people are trying to get healthy and they are stomping out the butt.

For women that smoke, the nicotine will affect their fertility. A female has a greater chance of conceiving if they are a non-smoker. It is also bad for the embryo after they are to get pregnant. The nicotine gets transferred to the baby and we all know that second hand smoke is worse.

For men, if they are finding that they are having issues with getting or keeping an erection, smoking can play a small role in that, but not so much. Unfortunately, once the damage is done, it is irreversible, but can be managed and helped with treatment.

Smoking cigarettes causes a multitude of bad diseases. Some of these are, but not limited to, heart disease, emphysema, erectile dysfunction, lung and other forms of cancer, as well as issues with your digestive system.

Don’t overlook some of the other issues from smoking such as bad breath, discolored teeth and gum disease. It has also been linked to wrinkles and fatigue. The list just goes on and on.

If you want to quit, try doing it with a spouse that is trying as well. You can also look into gums and step programs. Some have even tried therapy. It all comes down to the fact that smoking is unhealthy and it can kill you. If you a feel that you are ready to try and quit, there is no time like the present. Think of your family and friends and how happy they will be that you are trying to get and stay healthy just for them.
