Smoking – The Gateway to Death

Smoking – The Gateway to Death

Image via Wikipedia You may feel by holding the cigarette in your hand, you are showing your talent, sophistication and style. If this is how you feel then you are wrong. In fact cigarettes take you closer to the grave where only your remains will be left. Where will your “Style” be then?

It is well known that smokers live for a shorter time when compared to a non smoker. In fact the difference is 13.5 years for men and 14.5 years for women. So just spare a thought before holding the deadly cigarette – do you want to throw away more than a decade of your life?

With each cigarette you smoke you are shortening your life span. It also depends on the type of tobacco you consume, the temperature at which the cigarette burns and various other factors like the period of usage of the cigarette, etc. Also the cigarette varieties differ from one brand to another and also the threat levels.

Cigarette smoking as seen earlier does nothing other than lessening the life expectancy level. A smoker cannot attain the age limit that a non smoker attains, thanks to the deaths caused by cancer like Mouth Cancer, Lung Cancer and the heightened risks of other illnesses and conditions.

Image via Wikipedia The American Cancer Centre says that 30 percent of the deaths of smokers are caused by Cancer. As seen the cancer may be of different types like Lung Cancer, Cancer of esophagus, Oral Cancer, etc.
Also it is learnt that smoking accounts for 80 percent cases of Lung Cancer. It can affect both men and women and causes death. It is one of the most difficult to treat cancer of all types and is the cause of intense prolonged suffering and death. Consider the fact that the Mormons and The Seventh day Adventists who normally don’t smoke have almost no history of lung cancer in their societies.
The Cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive systems are also affected by smoking. Studies say that intense smoking fills the bronchi with mucus thanks to the dangerous substances present in the cigarette.

The Mucus is constantly produced in bronchi thanks to the dirt and bacteria. They also act as a filter to the air being inhaled. Cilia are tiny hair-like structures which move the mucus out of the nostrils and respiratory system. Since smoking causes more mucus they accumulate in the nostril adding to the already present mucus. This results in clogging of the bronchi with more dirt and bacteria. The cough from the smoker tries to release these substances in the form of phlegm

Besides it also leads to Bronchitis and Emphysema which are the irregular inflammation of bronchi and enlargement of air passages. They in turn affect the cardiovascular functions resulting in the formation of blood clots in your arteries and coronary thrombosis. They can cause massive heart attacks immediately resulting in death.
