Cones Are Cool Sep 19, Sep 24, Thanks, Cones! We think our Wonder Friends are pretty special! Gennaro Feb 27, I hope you would publish my first comment, although it was a bit salty, but wasn't trying to sound arrogant or harsh! There were also many truths about what I said, and those other complaints of my own, can also have a form of education, looking into those issues in question? However, I don't ever recommend or encourage anyone to start smoking, it is a very dangerous habit, and addiction, but we smokers are human too, and those that do smoke, have some form of gratification, even though we know it is BAD!
Someday I do wish to quit? Pray for me to stop smoking and those who smoke Gennaro Feb 26, We smokers are well aware of the negative effects it has on ourselves and those around us. We smokers enjoy it, yet we certainly aren't perfect, but then again, those who are so concerned aren't perfect either!
First of all, it is still legal to sell, buy, and smoke!

Rita Aug 21, I was not really having a problem breathing at first. My throat was burning; I thought I had strep throat. I had pain in my neck, and there was swelling around my collar bone. The first doctor I went to said he did not know why there was swelling. He gave me antibiotics and told me that if the swelling was not better to come back in two weeks. I went back in two weeks and he said he did not know what was wrong.
The disease does not improve. My "good days" are far and few these days. My dad and his dad died from this. I am only writing this to inform others that nothing was really working to help my condition. I started on COPD herbal formula i order. Aug 22, Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!

Oct 31, People have varying reasons why they started getting into the habit of smoking in the first place, even despite knowing the health risks involved. In this article, we will discuss five common reasons why people smoke and continue to do so.
In the latter part of the article, we will provide a few tips on how to help you quit smoking entirely. There are many reasons why people feel compelled to smoke cigarettes.
According to the American Cancer Society, before the age of 18, at least 9 out of 10 individuals turn into adult smokers. Furthermore, the younger you are when you start smoking, the higher the chance of being addicted to nicotine. This is why people continue to smoke into their later years, even with the plans of quitting initially. No matter how many times you tell a teenager how bad smoking can be, a large number of them will still try, especially with how glamorous it looks through advertisements shown across our screens.
The media portrays smoking in a way that smoking makes you look cooler, more sociable, or perhaps even more attractive to a potential partner. The problem is, at least for the majority of them, the more frequent they smoke, the more they become addicted, which then leads them to continue to smoke for a long time. Peer pressure is not limited to just teenagers, though. Individuals may also want to smoke to fit in within a workplace as smokers easily create a sense of bond over a smoke.
For an individual who would want to build more meaning into their lives, they may try smoking to earn a sense of camaraderie. Meanwhile, parents who are loose with their kids and do not restrict their kids on viewing films and the like that portray smokers in a positive light set their child up to be influenced by these films as well.
Additionally, parents who show that smoking is socially acceptable behavior, even if they do not smoke themselves, may cause children to experiment with smoking too. This means that it is not just enough to raise your kids in a non-smoking environment.
Parents must be fully committed to instilling and constantly communicating with a child how unhealthy, intolerable, and, most importantly, how detrimental smoking is.
This is a common occurrence worldwide and throughout different time periods. Furthermore, a large number of film characters are smokers, which can make adolescents believe that smoking is desirable and trendy. Having more campaigns that educate people about smoking and imparting how unacceptable it should be, may help reduce smokers in the future. The research involves an addiction to nicotine, which is an active ingredient in tobacco products like cigarettes. Withdrawal symptoms may include:.
Medication called nicotine replacement therapy NRT can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Smoking can become connected to other activities of your day-to-day life—like watching TV, talking on the phone, hanging out with friends, going certain places, or taking a break to relax. Then smoking becomes a part of a pattern or routine. But you can get help to stop the routine. In-person counseling or talking with a counselor over the telephone can teach you how to break the link between smoking and your daily activities.
Ask for help to create new patterns. There are ways to deal with emotions without smoking. Counseling can teach you ways to cope, and getting support from loved ones can help, too.
