Smoking poses numerous health risks, including the possibility of developing cancer. Smoking does not affect any particular part of your body, but any part of your throat, lungs, mouth, or even your nose, voice box, esophagus, pancreas, liver, stomach, kidney, bladder, ureter, bowel, ovary, and cervix can suffer from cancer.
Smoking is one of the main causes of cancer, so you can say that smoking definitely kills. And everyone, including smokers, knows that there are chances of heart disease and even suffering from a stroke due to smoking?
“Quitting is the only way you can stop smoking.”

Most of the youth smoke for the first time because their friends insist on it. Their company is such that most employees smoke, and they pressurize those who are not used to it to do so. However, when I smoked a cigarette for the first time, I was 19 years old, and I wanted to show people that I have grown up now and that I can do anything to show my pride.
Some people try to reduce stress and pain by smoking. People who are victims of depression and anxiety fix their moods by smoking. Nicotine found in cigarettes gives relief to the mind for a while, but along with it, it also has a bad effect on your lungs.
Many people resort to smoking to relieve fatigue. They believe that smoking removes your mental and physical fatigue throughout the day. For those who are addicted to smoking, it becomes very difficult to quit.

Yes, I can say that I was addicted to cigarettes because I used to smoke 20–25 cigarettes a day while in the initial stages of my job, but soon I started feeling its bad effects as a fitness freak, so I tried to give up smoking.
However, it was not as easy as I thought because every time I gave up, I started smoking even more within a couple of days of quitting. Now I remember that it was my birthday in May 2004 when someone whom I loved most asked me to quit, and I did.
That day I smoked my last, and I never smoked again after that. Now I hate smoking so much that I can't even tolerate someone smoking close to me. But I can tell you that anyone can quit using their willpower, and if you add a reason for quitting, it becomes even easier. I added my most loved one as an excuse for my quitting, promising to myself that if I ever smoked again, that would be like harming her.

Doctors say that one cigarette reduces five minutes of a person's life. This is because the chemicals in tobacco affect our bodies and become the cause of cancer. Quitting smoking increases lung function and stamina. It's easy to work out and run for a nonsmoker; their blood circulation improves, and the risk of heart attack also reduces.
Smoking also has a bad effect on your breath and teeth. After quitting cigarettes, the risk of lung cancer as well as the risk of mouth and throat cancer also reduces, and in a few years, you become normal.

I don't think in terms of reducing smoking, but I think one should think in terms of giving it up completely. I can tell you from my own experience that if you try to reduce smoking, it will come back, and you will smoke a few extra cigarettes rather than reducing them. So gather courage, use your willpower, and add a reason to give it up. Trust me, you can do it.

Indeed it takes a willpower and strong conviction from a smoker to quit smoking, it's not by nagging, begging, ridicule or condescending lectures, I'm glad to know that you've quitted smoking and your reasons for quitting is valid enough, again life is a precious gift from God so we need to have respect for it. Success!
Yes it does, but trust me I never felt for a moment that I missed anything once I did quit. You know people suffer from multiple quitting symptoms but I never felt any of them. I was normal within 2-3 days. That was a long time ago and I am so happy for my decision because I saved myself and my near and dear ones because they all suffer due to smoke. Thanks again.
Thank you, friend!

Thank you!
Positioning our mind to a particular reason makes quiting easy, thanks for that particular point and am happy you have quit smoking for good.
Hola amigo, gracias por la invitación sabes que tomaste al igual que yo la desicion más sabía del mundo dejar de fumar. Yo creo que todo está en la mente y todo es posible si nos lo proponemos, cuánto tiempo perdemos de vida por cada cigarro no se si sea 5 minutos pero lo que si es cierto es que es un veneno.
He visto muchas personas que han tratado de dejar de fumar pero no lo logran y creo que es porque ellos mismos piensan que no podrán y cuando recaen fuman como para recuperar el tiempo que dejaron de fumar.
Saludos 🤗
That's exactly the point, without a strong willpower one can't quit and in case someone can't resist the temptation and starts smoking again he does it with increased quantity.
I feel the best way to quit is to quit and that's it. Cheers and thanks for accepting my invite.
Smoking is very bad. We should think of eradicating it entirely instead of merely reducing the intake.
Thanks for sharing dear friend.
I wish you well in your entry.
Thank you so much, I did my bit by giving up smoking, now this is turn of other smokers to think wisely, thanks a lot for your kind support.
The lines above is very true because smoking harms the most vital or should i say the most important part of the human body like the lungs and the kidneys which keeps us alive and going. Whereas this harm is done slowly therefore the victim doesn’t see it until it finally hit them. Good luck buddy
That's right, the parts you have mentioned are important and most effected, but all of our body parts get their fair share of the bad effects of smoking. Thanks for your visit and support.
Some people smoke for fashion, particularly young and mature persons.

La determinación es la pieza que mueve la fuerza de voluntad y me alegra saber que en su vida usted tomó la determinación de dejar de fumar por un ser querido, yo nunca lo he hecho pero sé por experiencias de otros que no es algo sencillo de dejar de hacer.
That's right, one can do it using his or her willpower only otherwise it's almost impossible to quit smoking. You can see my image in this post that my wife took years ago and taunted me to give up by showing it. I gave up and never smoked again. Thanks for you visit and support.
