Quit Smoking And It’s Benefits
Smoking is one of the most dangerous, I mean over the top murderous, addictions there is. And yes it is an addiction. Not only does that cigarette kill a person's insides, it also sparks an addiction that makes it difficult to quit. Cigarettes contain tar which coats the inside of the lungs, making it increasingly difficult for blood to pick oxygen from the lungs. The result is a smoker's blood is low on oxygen. So how is this an evil? Every muscle, every organ of an individual's body needs oxygen to function properly. It's like the fuel our body runs on. And functioning doesn't mean simply getting you from one place to another, your organs health depends upon the quantity and quality of oxygen they get. So what happens to a smoker is that his or her muscles not only weaken, but a process of slow death ensues.
Smoking causes the body to get less oxygen and more smoke. Imagine having tar in your blood stream. The other substance in cigarettes is nicotine. This is what brings on the addiction. So one of the best ways to quit smoking is to NOT quit cold turkey, because that will just make rebound all the more possible. Instead, better ways of quitting the smoke is to make it a gradual step by step process. Involve your family and friends. Make sure a strong support group is there to help you through it. Create a mindset for quitting your smoking by getting your hands on all and any kind of (sensible) literature that explains the hazards of smoking. This will make your brain your biggest supporter. You can also use meditation as an effective way of strengthen your will power too. Devoting a solid 20 minutes to envisioning yourself smoke free will be a great way to achieve it in your daily life.
