Smoking - The Good The Bad And The Ugly
Lately I have been researching why people smoke, the good of it, the
bad things about it and the other things some people just don't know
about.
The Good:
Most smokers say that it gives them a
very strong bond with other smokers some have a sense of gratification
when they smoke. The drug nicotine gives them a feeling of pleasure.
Some smokers says it gives them a break from there kids, and it is used
as a stress reliever.
The Bad:
The list goes on but here a just a few key points -
That
horrid after smell, nagging cough all day … But that's nothing compared
to not being able to breathe properly, heart disease, Decayed teeth ,
skin and fingernails turn yellow, having lots of phlegm and losing your
voice half way through a sentence. One huge problem about smoking it is
a social drug such as alcohol making it very addictive and hard to
quit. Also smoking doesn't help your income at all, buying them 2 - 4
times a week at average $7 dollars adds up fairly quickly you could use
that money to socialise such as going out with friends or seeing a
movie.
The Ugly:
When you inhale smoke you put over 4,000
chemicals into your body just some of these are Benzene the chemical
found in paint stripper, Hydrogen Cyanide used in rat poison Ammonia
the bleach found in toilet cleaner.
Smoking can also have some terrible effects on your body some of these include death at the age of 40.
It can also make blood vessels and blood cells sticky causing dangerous fatty material to build up.
The
chemicals can lead to Macular degeneration (blindness) this is because
the chemicals get into the bloodstream and induce the damage to the
macula in the back of the eye.
Conclusion Of these facts:
Overall
most people think smoking is not fit for any lifestyle as it can lead
to disease, blindness, amputations and even death. Australia in
particular have banned it from most hospitals, working areas, and some
restaurants and clubs only allow smoking in car parks or in a
designated area.
