Quitting smoking is always one of the New Year's resolutions many Poles make when celebrating New Year's Eve. But will we enter the New Year transformed, without a cigarette in our mouths?
Unfortunately, these resolutions often end in initial enthusiasm, which is then thrown into oblivion after two weeks. As cigarette manufacturers state on the packaging, smoking causes cancer and many other diseases. Smoking kills. Some countries have introduced drastic images related to the diseases that accompany smokers.
Every day we look at drastic slogans, pictures and images and we do not do anything about it.
Smoking can cause many diseases, especially lung cancer. Consequently, we can suffer from many respiratory diseases. By smoking we also expose others to the disease.
How can a person who smoked for 30 years with his wife feel - he is healthy and his wife dies of lung cancer because she was an passive smoker?
What types of smoker exist?
- the one for company (never alone, always in company)
- the one who is concerned about weight (thinks smoking helps weight loss)
- the disguised smoker (smokes infrequently, not compulsively, does not see any risk of disease in himself)
- addicted smoker (can't go more than, say, 3 hours without a cigarette)
- risk-loving smoker (smoking gives him pleasure and freedom)
- stressed smoker (reaches for a cigarette in stressful situations)
- committed smoker (he is aware of the consequences of smoking, but enjoys it and has no intention of stopping)
Regardless of what type of smoker you are, it's a good idea to be aware of the consequences of smoking cigarettes. It's one thing to light up (which also has adverse health effects) and another to smoke a packet of cigarettes a day for several years.... The consequences of this wreak a lot of havoc in our bodies.
When deciding to quit smoking, remember to take a health-oriented approach. Don't do it all of a sudden, overnight, as you could damage yourself. Seek knowledge from your doctor, quit smoking sensibly and be aware that it is a difficult process.
