One of the most common problems, we are feeling in today’s world is killing people is smoking. A lot of people are picking up this habit because of stress, personal issue and more. when someone smokes a cigarette, they are not only hurt themselves but everyone around them.
Cigarette has a major impact on the lungs. Around a third of lung cancer cases happen due to smoking. For instance, it can affect breathing and causes shortness of breath and coughing. Further, it also increases the risk of the respiratory tract infections which ultimately reduces the quality of life.
It is never too late to stop smoking
Many people connect smoking with things. They do it during the day during breaks, drinking a cup of coffee, finishing a meal, talking with friends or doing other work. These are called triggers.
People can get the urge when they feel stressed or down or even when feeling happy or relaxed. Then when people quit, one of these feelings can trigger the urge to smoke.
Smoking is a leading cause of preventable death and the numerous health problems directly caused by smoking are well documented. Researchers found that 11.10% of current smokers have trouble falling asleep, 10.8 % wake at night and 10% wake too early in the morning. Insufficient sleep has been associated with numerous physical and mental health problems including depression, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Nicotine is the main addictive drug in tobacco that makes quitting so hard. cigarettes rapidly deliver nicotine to the brain. Inside the brain, nicotine triggers the release of chemicals that make you happy and feel good. As nicotine stimulates parts of the brain over and over, the brain gets used to having nicotine around.
Smoking has major effects like cancer, heart disease, stroke diabetes and more. It also increases the risk of tuberculosis, certain eye disease and problems with the immune system.
When people stop smoking, the brain sets irritable. As a result, people might get anxious or upset. People might have a hard time concentrating or sleeping, have strong urges to smoke or just feel uncomfortable.
So Nicotine Replacement Therapy ( NRT) can help in quit smoking.
To quit successfully, people have to deal with both of these challenges, the brain not having nicotine and not having a cigarette during daily routines. It can be hard to deal with both at once.
With the help and a good action plan, anyone can quit it for good.
