The Myths About Smoking

If you are a smoker, then you know that any cigarette or cigar is bad for your health, but did you know that all of the different kinds are all the same in the regards of the damage they cause? When some people try to quit the habit, they will go to smoking the lights or they will even go so far as to try smoking the menthol brands, thinking that if they can't stand to smoke these they will be able to quit. Most of the time, this only leads to this person smoking more as the only difference is in the filter that is on the cigarette.

Our cigarette companies are in a lot of hot water today because of their claims that light cigarettes aren't as bad for us as the full-favored ones. Do you realize that smoking the menthol cigarettes only helps in crystallizing your lungs? I quit smoking a year ago and had smoked for years and never knew about these menthol cigarettes doing this until I quit. These companies really don't want people that smoke to really know all the facts about these because if we did, there would be more people that would quit. Some people quit when the ban for smoking in all buildings started, and most quit because they can't afford the cost of all the cigarettes that they smoke.

We have people that quit just because the habit is so nasty because the more you smoke, the worse your teeth will become. There will be yellowing of the teeth because of the tar and the smoke that settles there. Also, the tar stains will show on your fingers because of all the cigarettes that sets between and on the skin. We have been smoking for centuries and are learning about all of the side effects in the last several years.

We have made it look so relaxing and enjoying to our young children that now we have to not only see health problems with our seniors and ourselves but also now our children as well. We have so many of our young dying each year because of the cancers that come from this habit. We really need to find out better ways to keep these things out of the hands of our children. In most cases, it might be too late for us, but when you do quit you have a better chance of stopping the problems from showing up later on as it might give your body time to heal itself.
