    Cigarettes aren’t good for us. That’s hardly news -- we’ve known about the dangers of smoking for decades. But how exactly do cigarettes harm us, and can our bodies recover if we stop? Krishna Sudhir details what happens when we smoke -- and when we quit.

    I started to smoke when I was 16 and last year I've decided to quit. It's such a tough process, but so worth. Now, 24 years old and 16 months without cigarettes and alcohol and practicing exercises everyday, all I can say is: do not give up giving up bad habits. You are a winner since the moment you've decided to quit, so go ahead, champ!

    • @andersoncardoso1882
      @andersoncardoso1882 Год назад +1

      @@ELA._.BORATED Right after quitting is not that easy because there will be a lot of moments when the abstinence will make you wanna light a cigarette, so you need to avoid these moments as much as possible. For me, for example, used to be when I was in a party or something, during the morning after waking up, with some friends that smoke too, etc. However this feeling goes away sooner or later, and evertyhing becomes easier. So the longer you go without, the better and stronger you feel. And you will definitely feel great. Your breath, your energy, your mood, evertything will change together. Next month I will complete two years without that and I just wish I could have stopped before. Oh, and money, you save a lot of money, at least here in Brazil 'cause the straw cigarette isn't sheap and it was my favorite

      Smoking is one of the main causes of preventable death worldwide. The Scriptures say: “God . . . gives to all people life and breath.” (Acts 17:24, 25) Since life is a gift from God, we should not do anything that would shorten our life, such as smoking.

Soon after, he developed lung cancer and family had worried he might not live longer even doctor said he might last less than 2 or 3 years if it doesn't get better.

    I’ve been smoking for maybe 8 years and 560 days ago decided to quit.
    It has been I think the better choice of my whole life.
    Since then no cigarette were smoked, just a few cigars for big occasions. I feel so much more confident about myself about day-to-day life, and I feel free and healthier.
    If I could give you only one advice it would be don’t give up and find a reason to fight for. It is normal if you don’t believe in yourself for the first months, but if you are doing this for you I’m sure you will succeed.
    Good luck !

      The worst thing about smoking is that even if you get over the natural symptoms of dropping an addiction there's still someting missing. Smoking just kinda becomes this thing to do even if you don't crave the nicotine. When i tried droping it once i often found myself just holding a pen or a lolipop stick in my mouth just to satisfy the habit

      Matthew Chow no smoke is good for your lungs. My uncle (you can google Daniele Piomelli) is one of the worlds foremost researchers of marijuana use and its effects, especially on the nervous system and in the long term. He knows it has negative effects on the body, we just don’t know how negative as there hasn’t been enough time to study long term effects. Not as bad as cigarettes but it’s like the difference between drinking motor oil every day or drinking a sofa every day. Both are bad but the first is worse, or at least it is as far as we know.

      Made by the American lung organization. You can live in denial all you want just cause you smoke. As I said, my uncle has done research into the effects and there is no doubt marijuana is good for the mind and many neurological issues, but it is not good for your lungs. I think you are the one who needs to research as I have now provided governmental and scientific data to back up my claims while you haven’t. My guess is you just like to smoke and pretend no negative health impacts exist.

      48 hours after smoking the last cigarette all nicotine has already left the body. So your statement is incorrect. It works, sure. Not after 2 days of quiting though, but during the first 2 days.

    It has been almost two years since I quit smoking. Following these steps really helped me. 1) Don't think you are quitting forever, that will build unwanted anxiety. Just quit for the day and so on. 2) Eat whatever you want, as much you want. Treat yourself like a king. Have chocolates, ice cream, favourite food etc. 3) Avoid places or people who trigger smoking craving. eg smoker groups, friends, smoking while driving, etc. 4) Note down trigger points/ periods and beat them. These are the most crucial moment of truths, eg if you smoke as you wake up, be mindful of it and control cravings for 5-10min, after which it will go away soon. 5) Stay happy, take out some break. Relax, and enjoy life.

But, which is why I stated in the very first point, don't think for life, Not just smoking but anything for a matter of fact. Because it will build unwanted anxiety and stress. Just think for the day, and viola you will be surprised to see that you absolutely never liked smoking in the first place. It is all nicotine and habitual smoking that is playing with your mind. Addiction is a mental thing. I hope I helped you.
