Quit Smoking -- Alosing Battle ?
Quitting was never easy. "I had a hard time,"I told Dr Holmes,
the community health consultant serving in Springville."I was
tense, finding difficulty to sleep and I broke out in sudden
cold sweats.
Fortunately, this is temporary and passed in a couple of weeks.
But the psychological dependence lasts much longer.
It was a breezy cold Christmas eve when I first met up with Dr
Holmes in his little practition located behind the fast food
corner. He told me that I left no choices: Lung cancer or stop
smoking IMMEDIATELY !
I couldn't. Smoking was the biggest thing in my life, more
important to me than food,esteem,career,children adding
together. I smoked almost constantly. I would even walk around
my house or work place with an ashtray in my hand.
Quitting is no picnic. But once succeeded, it is just delightful
and rewarding ! So do it. Do it for yourself, for your
self-esteem, for your health, for your children's health. Do it
also for the comfort and health of those around you.
Those who have quit know nicotine withdrawal is no easy task.
Yet the millions of tobacco-related cases of illness and death
every year are powerful incentives to quit. But for the majority
of smokers the incentives are not as powerful as the addiction
impelling them to continue.
The habitual intake of nicotine, as discovered by medical
research, is equivalent to the use of amphetamines, cocaine and
heroin. Nicotine "meets the technical criteria of an addictive
drug in laboratory studies by affecting brainwave, altering mood
and serving as a biological reward that draws out certain
behavior from both laboratory animals and human volunteers."
Have you struggled in vain for many years to quit smoking ? And
you feel very DISCOURAGE ? Do not give up ! Others, many
others who have been just addicted to nicotine, have succeeded
in quitting.
After each resolution to quit, I would end up scouting around
for cigarette butts. Or I would get dressed at night and go out
to buy some. Only thereafter finding myself extremely
disappointed and upset over yet another losing battle to tobacco.
But things need not necessarily be the same to you if you have
the knowledge.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
How do you apply this into
your struggle against tobacco ?
Consider the following hard facts:
- LUNG CANCER: Smokers make up 87% of lung cancer
deaths
- BREAST CANCER: Women who smoked 40 or more cigarettes
daily have a 74% greater chance of dying from breast cancer.
- HEART DISEASE: Smokers have a 70% greater risk of
cardiovascular disease.
- LEUKEMIA: Smoking appears to cause myeloid
leukemia.
- HEARING IMPAIRMENT: Infants of smoking parents have
greater difficulty processing sound.
- DIABETIC HAZARD: Diabetics who smoke or chew tobacco
are at higher risk for kidney damage and have more rapidly
progressing retinopathy.
- COLON CANCER: Two studies involving more than 150,000
people show a clear link between smoking and colon cancer.
- ASTHMA: Secondhand smoke can worsen asthma in
youngsters.
- EXERCISE INJURIES: According to a U.S. Army study,
smokers are more likely to suffer injuries while exercising.
- MEMORY: High doses of nicotine may take a toll on
mental dexterity while a person is performing complex tasks.
- DEPRESSION: Psychiatrists are investigating evidence
of a link between smoking and major depression as well as
schizophrenia.
