☻Causes☻

1. All smokers have misconception that smoking lower come depression and it’s a
cure to lower come the tension state. Starting cause of smoking differ from person
to person but one thing is common among them that is the wrong lesson about
smoking and mostly people are guided through their friends or some ads that it
reduce the depression state.

2. Mostly teenagers start smoking by two main causes (1) peer group (2) inspiring
from some one. But peer group is the most common factor specially in teenagers
to start the smoking because if one friend smokes so he offers to other friend or
other friend gets inspire from him.

3. Teenagers start smoking age between 12 to 24.this is very sensitive age in case of
smoking because in that period of age a person is immature and he can start it by
any two main reasons mentioned above.

4. Start as occasionally for fun and style and then regularly because as a person start
smoking just for sake of fun and style as he doesn’t know about the demerits of
this disease but later on it becomes his or her habit and he becomes dependent of
smoking.

 More than 30 years, if start smoking for fun so they smoke occasionally right
on those whom start for depression overcome, they use regularly. more than
30 years people are normally mature and they know the demerits of smoking
as compare to teenagers so if they start for sake of fun so they smoke just
occasionally right on those mature people who start just for depression
problem so they are using regularly and habitually and that’s the main
difference between teenagers and mature people.

Demerits

• Smoking can wreck your lungs and reduce oxygen available for muscles used
during sports.
• Smokers run slower and can't run as far, affecting overall athletic performance.
• Tobacco smoke can make your hair and clothes stink.
• Tobacco stains your teeth yellow and gives you bad breath.
• Short-term use of spit tobacco can cause cracked lips, white spots, sores, and
bleeding in the mouth.
• Surgery to remove oral cancers caused by tobacco use can lead to serious changes
in the face. Sean Marcee , a high school star athlete who used spit tobacco, died of
oral cancer when he was 19 years old.
Smoking Gives you Bad Skin and Wrinkles
Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and nutrients
like Vitamin A from getting to the skin. Smoking also affects the body’s
production of collagen and elastin — fibers that give your skin its strength
and elasticity. As a result, skin begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely. Lines
tend to develop around the mouth from sucking on cigarettes, and around the
eyes from squinting through smoke.

Smoking Increases Your Risk of Injury and Slows Healing Time

Your skin is not the only tissue that is composed of collagen: this fiber is
also present in your tendons and ligaments. Therefore if your body’s ability
to produce collagen is hampered, injuries involving damage to tendons and
ligaments will heal more slowly. These types of injuries are common,
especially for those people involved in sports.

Smokers' broken bones also take a lot longer to heal. Nicotine, a main
ingredient in cigarettes, constricts blood vessels around 25% of their
normal diameter. Since the new formation of bone depends on a adequate
supply of blood, oxygen, and nutrients reaching the injured area, bones tend
to heal more slowly in smokers because lower levels of nutrients are
supplied to the bones.

Smoking Increases Your Risk of Illness

Studies show that smokers get more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia
than non-smokers. In addition, people with certain health conditions like
asthma, become sicker if they smoke (and often if they're just around
people who smoke). Because teens who smoke as a way to manage weight
often light up instead of eating, their bodies lack the nutrients they need to
grow, develop, and fight off illness properly.

The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke
temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your
heart and blood vessels.
This can cause heart attacks and stroke. Not surprisingly, heart disease and
strokes are more common among smokers than non-smokers.

Smoking Causes Age-Related Blindness

British studies have recently shown that smoking increases the chances of
going blind as you get older. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
results in severe and irreversible loss of central vision, especially in people
over the age of 60. Experts warn that smokers are twice as likely as non-
smokers to lose their sight in later life. Some of these experts further argue
that the link between AMD and smoking is now as strong as the link
between smoking and lung cancer.

Smoking Could Burn Down Your House

Smoking is the cause of many house fires, some of which cost human lives.
According to a worldwide study published by the University of California
Davis in 1998, smoking is a leading cause of house fires and fire-related
deaths. In particular, smoking in bed is a major cause of accidental fire
deaths in homes because people fall asleep with burning cigarettes on their
beds.

Smoking Can Cause Impotence

Guys, take note: smoking increases the risk of erectile dysfunction by
around 50% for men in their 30s and 40s. Most of us know that eating fatty
foods can increase cholesterol and fatty deposits inside our arteries, but less
people are aware that smoking also increases these fatty deposits. And a
long-term build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries that carry blood to the
penis can decrease the flow of blood into that area.

Smoking Dulls Your Taste buds

Chemicals and tar from cigarettes coat the inside of a smoker's mouth,
including their taste buds, which leads some smokers to over-season their
food. The chemicals and tar in cigarettes also hamper the functioning of the
cells of the taste buds and nose "buds". And since our sense of taste
depends largely on whether or not we can smell what we’re eating, “dulled”
olfactory cells will lead to dulled taste.

The most dangerous side effect of smoking is to become its

dependent and until a smoker who is habitual doesn’t smoke, his whole
body specially his brain is not workable because of its dependency just like
an infant child is dependent on his mother.
 Both of these lungs are of a same age people but left one is a non smoker’s lung
while right one is a smoker’s lung.
 Bullet and cigarette, both are dangerous for a human health but bullet kills quickly
and cigarette kills slowly and sturdily, smoking is just like a sweet suicide for a
smoker.
 Smoking is very harmful for a pregnant woman and her inborn child rather than
normal conditions and really can damage can damage the reproduction ability of
pregnant woman and her inborn child.

☻ Preventions (for teenagers) ☻

 For teenagers, parents and their teacher should teach them from start the demerits
of smoking and keep a close eye on their daily activities and friends because peer
group is the main cause of starting smoking in case of teenagers. Parents are the
first school for a person and maximum of his attitude and personality develops
through this stage of life so if parents give a proper guidance to their children bout
smoking demerits so they may stay away from this disease
 Teenagers must keep a good peer group and should avoid Smoker’s Company.
Peer group is the main reason in teenagers for starting this bad habit so they
should keep away from these sort of companies so that is the best way for
teenagers to be saved from smoking.
 Media has a very vital role in promoting or protecting teenagers from smoking.
Inspiration from some one is also the main factor for that case. teenagers are
effected by their friends are mostly are inspired by different commercials and ads
of cigarette so media should a protection message through their different channels
so that is a best cure specially for young people to stay away from that smoking.
 ☻ Preventions (for mature people) ☻

 The smoker's own will is very important to quite. according to the doctors to quite
smoking is not possible until the smoker his self decide strongly to leave that bad
habit so the smoker own will is too vital than any treatment and medicine.
 Should quit slowly in process not in one day in case of habitual smoker. this should
keep in mind that a habitual smoker is dependent upon smoking so to quite it in one
day is not possible because his whole physical and mental power is dependent upon
smoking and until he is not smoking he can’t work normally. so for a habitual
smoker it is recommended to quite that habit in steps and slowly and sturdily and
that is best.
 Vaccines should be used to quite smoking. if the condition is tough so doctors
recommend some vaccines to quite the smoking and that is a best cure to leave
smoking in now a days
 . these vaccines effect your brain in a way that u start hating smoking and it seems
just like a poison to you so u quit smoking in that manner.
