TO SMOKE OR NOT TO SMOKE?
Hi guys,
I found this surfing on the Internet:
When Smokers Quit - The Health Benefits Over Time
From the American Cancer Society
20 minutes after quitting: Your blood pressure drops to a level close to that before the last cigarette. The temperature of your hands and feet increases to normal.
8 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.
24 hours after quitting: Your chance of a heart attack decreases.
2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation improves and your lung function increases up to 30%.
1 to 9 months after quitting: Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce infection.
1 year after quitting: The excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's.
5 years after quitting: Your stroke risk is reduced to that of a nonsmoker 5-15 years after quitting.
10 years after quitting: The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker's. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decrease.
15 years after quitting: The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker's.

I THOUGHT TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS BECAUSE 19 YEARS AGO MY GRAND-FATHER DIED IN CONSEQUENCE OF A THROMBOSIS CAUSED BECAUSE HE HAD SMOKED A GREAT PART OF HIS LIFE.
I KNOW PEOPLE THAT SMOKE, AND I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IS FOR THEM TO TRY TO LEAVE THE CIGARRETTE, I KNOW THAT SMOKING IS PLEASANT FOR THEM. I LOVE THEM A LOT AND I DONT WANT THAT MY FRIENDS SUFFER.
FOR THESE REASONS I CONCLUDE THAT SMOKE IS TOO BAD FOR HEALTH, NOT ONLY FOR THE SMOKERS, ALSO FOR PEOPLE AROUND THEM.
I THINK THAT LIVE IS A BIG OPORTUNITY, PEOPLE SHOULDN´T DAMAGE HIS/HER BODY......
EVERY DAY WE HAVE TO FIND THE WAY TO BE HAPPY!!!!!!
THINK IN HAVE A BETHER LIFE....

PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT WHEN THE PEOPLE SMOKES IS ONLY TO FIND A EXIT FOR THEIR PROBLEMS OR WHEN THE PEOPLE TRY TO QUIET THEIR NERVOUS, THEREFORE THEY DON´T KNOW THE DAMAGE THAT THEY CAUSE IN THEIR HEALTH AND TO THE PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE ENCIRCLE.
IN MY OPINION SMOKING IS VERY BAD FOR THE HEALTH, NOT ONLY FOR THE LUGS, OLSO FOR THE TEETH AND THE APPEARANCE.
I DONT SMOKE AND I THINK THAT IS NOT NECESARY, BUT MY FRIENDS ALWAYS SMOKING AND I BREATHE THE SMOK,I HAVE GOT A HEADACHE.
FOR PEOPLE IS VERY DIFFICULT QUIT SMOKING, BUT IN NOT IMPOSSIBLE, NOWADAYS THERE ARE MANY SOLUTIONS, MEDICINE, EXERCISE, YOGA, ASSOCIATONS.
PEOPLE IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH IF THEY QUIT SMOKING.
First of all, i think that the article is very interesting, and in my opinion, to smoke is the worst damage you can do to your body. i don`t smoke, but i have a lot of friends that smoke every day and is so difficult for me stay there when they are smoking, because i have a problem in my nose and is too sensitive and when i feel the smell of cigarrete i started to fell very bad.
Well one thing to do about it is to educate people about of how dangerous is the cigarrete for the health and forbid smoking in the classrom , offices , factorys and restaurants.
Its necesary that the parents had a good comunication whit their daugthers and that they know choose what kind of friends they want to have
I think that is a social disease, and some people smoke to be accepted.
I wouldn't do it to be accepted in a social group becuase I do not like the smoke that produces the cigarette.
Also smoke cause to cancer.
DON'T SMOKE PLEASE!!!
In my opinion actually there are a lot people have smoked since adolecent, started secundary school for several sitution how be in social cicle, fashion, rebellious with them parents, etc.
The reason are different but all dorect to an addition that besides of have problems with the health too change personality be having behaviour.
In my opinion smoking is very bad because your body its damage and your healt its terrible your condition is worse. if you smoke may be you can dead by cancer
Most of the people that take their first cigarette is for try to belong to a group or for showing to the others that is big. It is one of the most frequent problems in the world, the worst thing is not that people that smoke ended up dying of cancer but rather people around of they will die first. The people is so fool because they think that smoking is cool, what they do not know are that only are destroying their life and the others around them.

As all of us know and as the article says, smoke is one of the most bigger cause of deaths that in my opinion cold be avoid, because is a " social problem" that is afecting not only at the smokers, afects also at all the people around them and I think that the fact is just that the people must considere to include or not in their lifes, I`d say that the decision depends of each one.And Personally, I agree with the idea of "Don`t smoke".
Finally I just want to enphasis in the phrase that says "the law of one finish when begin of the other"
My opinion is about the Denisse's comentary and personally I think that smoke is not just a "custom" or "habit" because is considere also as a drug addiction (as I've read )because involve many of the criterions that define the use of tabaco as a drug,like the dependence among others.
Smoke is a bad habit not only for the smoker too for the person who are near to the smoker, health is in risk, and the aparience is bad too: hands smell to nicotien and sometimes teeth become yellow.
I disagree with this habit over all when people don´t think about the pasive smokers and don't consider them.

In my opinion,the people who smoke want to leave it but they can´t, my sister smokes(is the only one who smokes in my house)and once i said her about the risks of smoke, she knows them but she can´t leave her habit.
DAMN IT... I KNOW THAT¡
SMOKE IS THE WORST HABBIT TATH YOU CAN FIND IN THE EARTH BUT I'M A SMOKER I CAN'T GIVE IT UP, I SWEAR I WAS TRIED TO DO IT BUT IT'S HARD, MAYBE 1 OR 2 WEEKS AND I GET DESSEPERATE SO I START TO EAT MORE FOR COMPLEMENT THE ABSENCE OF THE CIGARRETES HOLLY SHIT... IF ANYBODY KNOWS A REMEDY PLEASE MAIL ME.
SOMETIMES I NEED IT TO CONTROL MY ANGER, OR MY SADNESS, IT'S STUPID BUT USEFUL...

HEY WE HAVE TO ORGANISE A PARTY OR SOMETHING FUNNY I WANT TO KNOW PEOPLE FROM OTHER LEVELS AND WE CAN ASSEMBLY AN ENGLISH ARMY (HAHA BAD JOKE) I REFER THAT WE CAN EXCHANGE IDEAS OR MAKE A TALK GROUP JUST FOR PRACTISE... C-YA
I think that when being smoking all the day it has become a custom because this vice; that it is possible to be transformed into a disease, he brings like consequence in spending much money, to affect the health to which they surround to the smoker and of course to cause diseases like the cancer.
This habit occurs in both sexes and it is acquired frequently in the adolescence, perhaps by imitation or to look for acceptance of a social group or simply to alleviate the emotional tension. In order to prevent this problem one is due to inform and to educate the population and to prohibit to smoke in places public, since besides to affect the health it is to throw money to trash.
I think that the smokers damage their health. But also is an addiction that does not have sense is like throwing money to the sweepings. Another point is that they damage the nonsmokers because they breathe the smoke directly. If you are a smoker you need to do conscience and respect the nonsmokers.
In my opinion, the people that smoke only damage their health. Now a days we know that the Many young people exist who smoke to very early age, a conscience for such really does not exist, from to where it can get to affect them in the future.
The cigarette is a drug disguised by the same society that is not bad sight by the same one, and if we arrived at a stage from dependency to same us it can take to the death
IN THIS TIMES IS NORMAL THAT ALL PEOPLE LIKE TO SMOKE. BUT IN THIS ARTICLE SHOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE TO GET SICK OF CANCER.
IS NECESSARY THAT PEOPLE DON´T SMOKE ANYMORE BECAUSE THE RESULT ARE VERY BAD AND THE SUFFERING IS TO ALL FAMILY.
PEOPLE SHOULD CUT DOWN ON SMOKE IS THE BETTER DECISION.
I don´t like smoke, because I don´t like the smoke and it afects my eyes, when someone snoke near my, my eyes start to cry. And also I dont like when people smoke near my, becose I feel how they were invading my space, and i thing that sometimes people don´t respects the space of other people when they smoke near of someone who don´t smoke.
my opinion is:
is bad smoke because your health is more importan that vice and not for you alone for all people if you are pasive smoker breather the smoke cigarette afected your lung and your life.
in this moment young people exist who smoke to early age, how many people have risk to get sick of cancer.
don´t smoking in prohibited place and near the children.
betty.
hi!
I don´t like smoke, because I think about if smoke or not to smoke in my opinion this badly to smoke since in a future it can damage to you and this can later cause to cancer in the lungs.
Something important is that the people don't smoke anymore this affect the health.
I hate cigarettes, but 2 years ago I learned how to smoke, because my father used to do it, and y ask him for stoping to do it, and he didn´t care, so I started to smoke. When he saw that I also was smoking he let the cigarret.
I don´t smoke, I tried but I never learn how to do it, and I said Thanks God, because I didn´t enjoyed it, and I really hate when people smoke in the office because it is a close place, and I really can´t stand with people who smoke infront someone who had flu or cough it's so disgusting. Also I hate when the someone smoke inside the car, because the smell stay in the car for a long time. I think it is so harmful and people should stop to smoke because of their own health and because of the health of their friends.
Hi:
To smoke is a suicide in the little dose, for me is necessary but not priority the people who smoke including me we do not know that your health is a factor risk my to smoke is I live, I have the necessity to do it, need those toxins within my body, although that he is bad for my health and even but when you have a disease that posibility has been caused to smoke I prefer myself to give to my body the toxins that need when smoking and that it alleviates it, that a day without thinking it dies of some accident, and as far as my single disease it will control it until already remedy does not have.
One day, I tried to smoke but I didn´t like the flavor. Also doctors say that smoke is bad and I believe them.
Maybe I will smoke if the cigarettes will have a good smell or flavor as mint or strawberry.
Hello:
I don´t know why smoking new a days is so common, the custum of smoking every day isn´t bad, for the society, the teenagers also the alduts is ok, howewer any persons say that is ok, them can leave when them wish, but i think that is not true, because litle by litle is a body neccesity, i look it with my friends, and my father to. Is so difilcut for them.
Some people say: I only smoke when; I stay in a meeting or party but is the same.
Smooking is so bad, you spend money, healty, and the best thing; your life.

hi
it is an interesting information, but I think the people who smoke sometimes are not interesting in having information about it because it is like if they close their main nothing happen in their health as a result to smoke or they said not me, they know what happen if smoke but their adiction is stronger than them, any way i'm going to send this informatiion to my smokers friend I hope, it can help them to leave their habit or tray to leave it

HI EVERIBODY
I THINK IT´S VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OUR HEALTH, BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY ONE LIVE, AND AFTER YOU DIE, YOU CAN NOT TO DO ANYTHING.
SMOKING IS CONSIDER ONE OF THE MOST COMMON CAUSES FOR CANCER, SO PLEASE TRY NOT TO SMOKE A LOT, IF YOY WANT TO LIVE MORE.
Hi everybody, sorry I wrote my opinion, but I forgot to write my school, and my group, so that is the reason that I am going to write again.
I think it´s very important to take care our health, because we have only one life, and after you die, you can not to do anything.
Smoking is considered one of the most common causes for cancer, so please try not to smoke a lot, if you want to live more.
Hi Geoge!
When I read this articule I thougth is importan to be careful whit our helth. I don´t lije smoke, but I have friends that smoke.Nowday I am a passive smokin, What do you think about my problem?
I think that smoke is a very bad habit because this action how we can see in the article provokes a serie of negative consequences in our health and is for this reason that I desagree about of.It's really disgusting when someone is smoking near to you and you breathe all that smoke.
In my opinion people should be more careful with their health and think about cigarette´s disadvantages.
iN FACT, I DON´T SMOKE NEVER, I THINK IT´S A BAD HABIT THAT HURT YOUR HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE THAT IT´S NEAR TO YOU. I THIK THAT MEXICO WANTS TO HAVE A NEW EDUCATION ABOUT DE PUBLIC AREAS, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN RESPECT THE AREAS AND THE PUBLIC SPACE, YOU CAN HAVE A BETTER PLACE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...
I know many adult people that smoking, they told me started this bad habit seeing some relatives or a friends doing that. They thought whether many persons do it, maybe is not too bad.
The negative consequences in our health is relatively recent.
I thought to smoke until I could pay this habit with my first salary, but never liked to me.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD, I BELIEVE THAT EVERY ONE MUST TAKE CARE OF HIS BODY, NOBODY CAN FORCE A PERSON TO DO ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT WANT. I DO NOT SMOKE, BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE IT BUT IF I LIKED I DO IT, THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT ALWAYS IT IS IMPORTANT TO GUARD A BALANCE BETWEEN BODY AND SOUL.
In my opinion the people that smoke and know the risk of this is stupid or don't care their lifes.
I'm pro against the cigarettes.
jajajaja I don´t know what to say because I smoke too but I know that this is a bad habit and it destroys ourselves because it has a lot chemicals. (.")
I think that the cigarette is very bad and should the goverment do a law pro passive smokers.
Because isn't fair that we must soport the smoke.
George,
I'm going to tell you something, sometime ago I used to smoke and always had flu and my performance wasn't good. When I decidet quit it, I began to feel better and problems with my health desappeared, now, when I know someone who smoke y try to convince her or him, that give up smoking is a good but many times difficult intent, but if we want a better quality of live, wa have to care our health.
I think that smoke is one of the most stupit things that the human does. In fact spend money to buy a cigarrette box and damage our body. I don´t know what say about this topic. But is so bad say i smoke because i´m fell stressed or anseuous or something like that, is time to start to think in our healt and the healt to other person who is near.
Hello
Well I don`t know pretty much about the sensations of smoking because I don`t really like to smoke, but I know the bad effects that the cigarrette can produces in your body after a certain time.
The worst point here is that not only the person who is smoking is being affected, in fact, sometimes the person who is next to him is being affected more.
We have to create the culture of non smoking in order to have a life more healthy and safe.
THANKS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT SAID SMOKE IS A STUPID THING, IN A WAY, YOU ARE TELLING ME I´M A STUDPID, BUT THIS IS THE OTHERSIDE OF THE COIN.
I KNOW, IT´S TERRIBLE, BUT HAVE YOU EVER THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MIND OF THE PERSON THAT SMOKE?? OR WHY PEOPLE SMOKE??
I NO AGREE OR DISAGRE WITH ANYTHING, I JUST HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CASES, SAD CASES, SPECIALLY THE ONE THAT HAPPENED IN MY HOUSE, AND AFTER A LONG TIME LIVING WITH IT, I HAVE UNDERSTOOD THAT MORE THAN A STUPID THING, MOST OF TIMES IT IS A ILLNES, AND THE PEOPLE WHO IS SICK SUFFER A LOT BECAUSE CIGARRETE IS A DRUG.
YOU MAY SAY THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO CALM ANXIOUS, LIKE EXERCISE FOR EXAMPLE, BUT PEOPLE CAN'T DO IT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE SICK! I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE AN EXCUSE, BUT WE HAVE TO THINK MORE ABOUT THIS KIND OF SITUATIONS. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SMOKE JUST FOR PLEASURE OR IMITATION, THIS IS THE STUPID THING, THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT , BUT MORE THAN SAY IT IS STUPID, WE HAVE TO MAKE CONSIOUS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT'S A PROBLEM, AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING TO DICRESE THE CONSUPTION
THANK YOU
Hi.
I liked so much this article, because it´s different of the others, in this article you show me the advantages of quitting this habit.
I don´t smoke, because I am asthmatic, but at some time I smoked and I felt terrible, so i gived up it, but the problem is that my father smokes a lot and I'm very worried about it, because he didn't listen to me, but today when he comes from his job, I'll show him this text.
I can´t imagine all the advantages of not smoke, but I didn't know the disadvantages of be with smokers, only know that is more dangerous but I didn't know exactly the consequences.
I'll try to talk witn all my family and friend and tell them something about this text, and try to convince them to give up the cigarrette.
Maybe the best way to give up the cigarrette is doing exercise or thinking in another activity, and avoid the stressful situations, and try to relax, because this problem will pass.
Thank you.
Hi,
In my opinion, people smoke for several reasons, but I think the most important is because is a fashion, they see another people do something and they want to do the same and they forget the damages that the cigarette produces.
People feel secure with a cigarette in the hand and don't worry if the other persons feel unconfortable when they are smoking.
We have to do something to reduce the smoker´s percentage.

I left it for almost half a year, and due to a stupid quarrel, I
just picked one cigarette and started again...Of course I regret
it, but this is sometimes just like sects, you're down and they
come to you...and when you realize about everything you're in. But
anyway I don't think this lasts for long (in my case) cuz I've
dropped it once, I hope that I can do it one more time (and never
start again). Best.

OH! I THINK IS AWFUL THIS ACTION BECAUSE IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR LIFE. I AM VERY SCARE ABOUT THIS ARTICLE BECAUSE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE HOW THE PEOPLE DAMAGE THEIR BODY. IN MY OPINION, THE PEOPLE WHO SMOKE SHOULD BE TO STOP SMOKING BECAUSE they are damaging your health. FRIENDS DON`T SMOKE. IT IS AN ADVISE.
Well, i think that smoke is so dangerous for all people that live around the world, but sometimes people don´t understand the consequenses about this problem.
In my case i don´t smoke, first because i´m a straight edge and i live so good, so if i live so good, i don´t understand why do people have to smoke?.
Hi Jorge,
Well, this is a interesting topic, full of contrast I think, I don't smoke, and I can't find a reason why people smoke.
But what is certainly true is that smoke is a very destructive habit, that decrease you health.
But at the end of the day depends on every person, and what do they fell when they are smoking, because people who smoke knows the risks.
But I think that smoker have to realise that exist people shon don't smoke and they have to respect our rights and our health.
