Say No to Smoking is your Health Care
Why do people start to smoke?
There are not many smokers about who started smoking after the age of eighteen. In fact, the majority of smokers took up the habit in their early or mid teens.
At such a young age, you don't really think about the health risks of smoking and you certainly do not realise how addictive smoking can be. As a teenager you probably think that you can try smoking a few times and then take it or leave it.
However, the reality is that it doesn't take long to become addicted to nicotine and smoking. Within a short period of time, children can experience the same cravings and withdrawal symptoms as an adult, as well as smoke as many cigarettes or more.
There are several reasons as to why children or teenagers start smoking.
Peer pressure plays an important part. Many children start smoking because their friends have tried it or smoke themselves.
Those children may have started as they have grown up in an environment where their parents, grandparents and older siblings smoke, and so they smoke in order to look and act like them.
Consequences and and Affects
Answer:
Tobacco contains at least three substances that can cause problems: tar, carbon monoxide and nicotine.
*Tar is a black sticky substance that settles on the flagella of the mucous membrane, which goes from the nose to the lungs. This causes the flagella not to remove dust and dirt very well anymore. Tar can lead to bronchitis, pulmonary emphysema, lung cancer and cancer of the throat, oesophagus or larynx.
*Carbon monoxide originates from the combustion of vegetable material. It is a colourless and scentless gas. It causes the blood not to transport oxygen as well anymore, which causes the heart and also other body parts to get too little oxygen.
*Carbon monoxide damages the walls of blood vessels so that fat and calcium can settle more easily. Carbon monoxide leads to a reduced condition, arteriosclerosis, heart complaints (Angina pectoris, heart infarct), cerebral infarction and brain haemorrhage.
Recommendations
*Choose a date to stop smoking.
*Tell you plan. ask for their help.
*Talk to you doctor. ask for help.
*Tell your friends and family.
