Is There Really Danger if You Don’t Stop Smoking?
When you see the warning on cigarette packages “Quitting smoking now greatly reduces serious risks to your health” the smoking-related diseases that probably come to mind are lung cancer and maybe emphysema. But, did you know that half of periodontal gum disease in smokers is caused by smoking? Chronic (long-term) gum disease can lead to the loss of your teeth, puss filled sores and horrible, disgusting breath. From there leads to lowered self esteem and confidence, restricted social life, embarrassment, continued oral decay and possible tumors in your mouth, tongue and lips. Still. Nasty cancer finds its way in somehow. But hey, my heart’s okay and I don’t have emphysema.
The truth is it does not relax the body in any way, quite contrary, that is just the emotional conditioning that has developed over time and if you need time alone, you don’t need a cigarette to create it. People will leave you alone if you just tell them to beat it and go away. It’s all rationalizing and creating reasons to smoke. So why do people let themselves believe it’s okay to keep smoking? If I had to bet I’d say it’s because they either haven’t found an effective way to stop or a way that works without a huge struggle.
