  5. Lung Cancer and COPD Turned This Person’s Lungs Completely Black This shocking Facebook post highlights just how dangerous smoking is. We’ve all been told over and over that smoking is bad for us. And the public campaigns have worked: the CDC says the rate of adult cigarette smokers in the US went down from just shy of 21% in 2005 to 14% 12 years later in 2017. But if the stats—cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States—don’t scare you enough, maybe a visual of the damage that cigarette smoking can do will convince you of the danger of cigarettes. Last month, Facebook user Amanda Eller posted video footage showcasing how diseased lungs function in contrast to healthy lungs. “Cancerous, 1 pack per day for 20 years lungs versus healthy lungs. Still wanna smoke?” she wrote on Facebook. In the shocking footage, you can tell how much more difficult it is to keep the cancerous lungs pumping. The person who the diseased lungs belonged to had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as well as cancer. COPD, an inflammatory lung disease, causes the airflow coming from your lungs to be obstructed. Difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, and mucus production are all symptoms of COPD. COPD is caused by exposure to particulate matter or gases that irritate the body. Usually, the condition is caused by exposure to cigarette smoke over a long period of time. COPD causes the lungs to lose their natural elasticity, which allows you to take a deep breath. The lungs of a person with COPD overexpand, causing air to get trapped in the lungs when the person exhales. Cigar smoke; pipe smoke; secondhand smoke; and workplace exposure to fumes, dust, and smoke can all cause COPD, which develops over years. Most people who develop the disease are 40 years old, at the least, when their symptoms begin. RELATED: 15 Ways Smoking Ruins Your Looks Additionally, if a smoker develops COPD before they develop lung cancer, they increase their chances of having lung cancer. But if they stop smoking, they can decrease this risk, Mayo Clinic says. Quitting smoking is the “most essential” part of treating COPD, Mayo Clinic explains. Giving up cigarettes is the only way to stop COPD from advancing. Mayo Clinic recommends asking your doctor about potentially using nicotine replacement products that might prevent a relapse if you have decided to give up smoking. While adults in the US aren’t smoking nearly as much as they used to, we still have a ways to go before we’ve educated everyone on the risks of smoking, even just socially. According to CDC data, in 2017, of every 100 adults in the US, 14 smoked cigarettes. This equates to an estimated 34.3 million people—not including children—smoking cigarettes. This isn’t inconsequential: In America, more than 16 million people have a disease related to smoking. RELATED: 97 Reasons to Quit Smoking

  10. Just found this on the World wide web... Clever Tips For Quitting Smoking Once & For All There are numerous reasons why it makes sense not to smoke, yet many people find it difficult to quit the habit. The nicotine is the problem, as smokers experience withdrawal symptoms only a few hours after their last cigarette. It's therefore extremely tough to beat the addiction, but we've come up with 8 tips that'll make giving up a little easier. Hopefully, your "final cigarette" will actually be your last... 1. Set A Date Whether it's the start of a new year or in the middle of the week, people who want to stop smoking should set a date on which to officially quit. Having a quitting date can help you mentally with the withdrawal process and motivate you to build on your smoking-free days. 2. Write A List Of Reasons SaveBored Panda15arsmediaDies & Das Once the date is set, it makes sense to think about the reasons why you want to stop. Whether it's to save some money or for your health, write these reasons down and take a look at the list every time you get the urge to smoke. This should help you stay on the right path. 3. Identify Triggers To be able to quite smoking in the long-term, it's necessary to identify key triggers. In which situations do you reach for the cigarettes? Parties and alcohol are the most common triggers. In the future, you should try to avoid situations that you connect with smoking and replace them with positive habits. 4. Think About The Savings Another common reason for quitting is the money you can save. We recommend coming up with a plan for what to do with the savings. A short break somewhere? New clothes? You should treat yourself for showing such great discipline! You can work out how much money you'll save using this online calculator. 5. Distract Yourself From Urges The urge for a cigarette usually lasts for about 5 minutes. That's why it's a good idea to think of 5-minute strategies to fill this time instead of reaching for the smokes. For example, you could listen to your favorite song, snack on some fruit or take a stroll until the urge to smoke goes away. 6. Get Active Being active has many benefits. As well as providing distraction from lighting up, exercise does a lot for your health in general. Doing sports will also help combat any unwanted weight gain, which is a common side effect of quitting smoking. 7. Spend Time With Non-Smokers Spending time with friends who don't smoke can help a lot during the withdrawal process. If you're often seeing people with a cigarette in their hand, you're more likely to want one. It might also be worth asking friends who smoke to refrain from doing so while they're in your company. Another tactic is to give up smoking with a friend — a problem shared is a problem halved! 8. Use Nicotine Gum & Patches When it comes to withdrawal symptoms, the beginning is always the hardest part. As the nicotine levels in your blood sink, you may feel more nervous, irritable and hungry than usual. In this instance, it may be best to try nicotine gum and patches, so that your body is slowly weened off the drug. Quitting smoking is far from easy. But if you manage to beat the habit, you can improve your way of life and make some considerable savings. Though some of these tricks might not work for you, it's certainly worth giving them a try!
  11. Not bad at all without them bloody snails, I just couldn't eat them..
  12. Yep the same as me... people ask me if I miss smoking and "Ho Yes I Do" but for a few minutes than it doesn't bother me any more...... When smokers are around me I keep my head down and move away from anyone smoking and i'm good again... i find its the best way for me to deal with it.
