In recent years, the World Health Organization
has reported an increase of individual smokers.
On the other hand, despite the damages inflicted
to people´s body, smoking
also causes an adverse impact to society, the economy and the
environment.
Doesn´t the smoker perceive that he or she is losing years of
life inhaling nicotine?
People say that it’s a pleasure to smoke, but
it’s a paradox, because the best pleasure one has is to love
life. We must see this as a gift; it would be unjust to
disregard it or maybe it’s a lack of knowledge.
If we understand how many years can be recovered after
abandoning the addiction, one can see the possibilities of
living favorably. The accumulated proof shows that cigarettes
hurts the body´s organs.
Its consumption causes in many cases lung cancer and associated
to other types of illnesses, like cervix and kidneys.
Other risks for the health associated to tobacco are heart
attacks, neurovascular accidents; bronchitis, asthma and other
respiratory ailments.
Women are exposed to infertility, while in
pregnant women spontaneous abortions can take place and
newborns, children of smokers are generally born underweight.
Those addicted to tobacco, develop dependency and
suffer abstinence symptoms when they do not smoke. According to
the WHO, if the current figure is not reduced, it will cause
some 10 million deaths each year until 2020.
This means that the 1.3 million smokers that
exist, many will die prematurely.
We believe it is important to persuading people
to stop smoking and urge them to enjoy a healthy life free of
toxins. And above all not to forgot that it will represent a
health benefit and also for those that surrounds a smoker.
