Hey everyone,
As i mentioned before in my previous posting, i did mentioned about smoking which could lead to health problems.Here are a list of health problems that could occur if people smoke.
1)Heart attack
2)stroke
3)breathing difficulties
4)miscarriage or premature death
5)cancer
6)gum disease
7)bronchitis
8)SIDS(sudden infant death syndrome)
9)Gangrene
10)stillbirth
11)impotence
The list can still go on and on.Its really scary to see how smoking can really affect somebody and i think if people avoid smoking they do not have to go through with all kinds of sicknesses.The thing about smoking is that it can also effect a person phsyically.for istance you wont feel really fit, You tend to age more,cough alot,lack energy and so on. This is why people should realise that smoking can not only damage your health but your outer apperance.So Hopefully people will think twice before taking a cigarette...=)

One Puff can Kill you!
Hey everyone,
I am interested in touching on this topic which is called "dangers of smoking" as smoking is very common in today’s society. Mostly everywhere you go, we are normally surrounded with smokers. Sometimes the people around us who smoke could be our parents,friends,relatives,and also strangers as well. I guess some of us may find it hard to be around with smokers but as to some they might have gotten used to it. Well it may seem alright for them now but we don’t know what they are in for especially if we are unaware of the dangers of smoking. Although we may not be interested in smoking but if were are surrounded with smokers, this can lead to health problems.
Secondhand smoking is more dangerous than smoking by ourselves. Many people who have realized about this issue are trying raise awareness of public smoking. Public smoking relates to second hand smoking as for example, even an individual is smoking around or nearby to where you are, although they are allowed to smoke in that area, we are still breathing their smoke and this could effect our health if we do not take any action. The only way for people to avoid breathing smoke is to walk away from that person who smokes or you could politely tell that person not to smoke in your direction. As for those who smoke, they should already be aware of the consequences that they will have to face in the future.
Many people especially youngsters feels that smoking is ‘cool’ or it reduce stress but not knowing that it could damage your whole body system at the end of the day. Therefore the government is also trying to help the youths to overcome this problem by providing the right anti smoking education for them. Moreover, many women are addicted to this habit and they have find it hard to quit.As for women to smoke is very dangerous as it could effect the body system for instance affect pregnancy, age faster, and also suffer from cancer.
Once somebody is addicted to something it is quite unlikely for that person to give up. One cigarette that you take could affect your life. Many health organizations are trying their level best to do as much as they can to help those who find it difficult to quit smoking. For instance promoting warning signs on cigarettes boxes, campaignes, posters of smoking,herbal remedies and many more. Perhaps we are unsure whether the solutions above are able to change people’s habits of smoking as some may still find it hard to give up.There have been many law issues that were raised in order for the government to stop selling cigarettes but it somehow failed as many could have been unhappy about this situation. Overall I believe this depends on the individual itself whether he or she is willing to discipline themselves in order for them to cut this addiction out of their life.
