stop smoking

Effects
The effects of smoking will vary from person to person and depend on
such things as:

a person's susceptibility to chemicals in tobacco smoke;
the number of cigarettes smoked per day;
the age when the person began smoking; and
the number of years of smoking.
Immediate effects


Smoking one cigarette immediately raises a person's blood pressure and
heart rate and decreases the blood flow to body extremities such as the
fingers and toes.
Brain and the nervous system activity is stimulated for a short time
and then reduced.
A smoker may also experience dizziness, nausea, watery eyes and acid in
the stomach.
Appetite, taste and smell are weakened.
Other effects of cigarette smoking



Smoking during pregnancy can affect the unborn child, and babies are
more likely to be born underweight, premature or stillborn.
Passive smoking, where a person is subject to breathing in the
cigarette smoke of others, can cause lung damage, including cancer and
heart disease.
Fifty Australians die every day from smoking compared with 10 who die

More die directly and indirectly from being overweight. It's just
incredible how people can do these things to themselves, then get
defensive when they're reminded of that fact!!
