How to Quit Smoking - Realizing the Health Risks

There are different ways in which you can get motivation to quit smoking. One of them is to learn about the serious health risks that you are exposed to as a smoker. The more information you have the more determined you will be to stay smoke free for good.

Your risk of developing lung cancer is 24 per cent higher than those of non-smokers. It has been found that in 85 per cent of all lung cancer patients the disease has been caused by cigarette smoking. You are exposed to a very high risk of a medical condition that is extremely hard to treat and has a very low survival rate. The five-year survival rate of individuals diagnosed with lung cancer is 6 per cent.

Your risk of developing a heart disease is 2 to 4 times higher compared to a non-smoker. Statistical data shows that 20 per cent of deaths from heart disease are directly linked to smoking. It is important to note that your habit increases not only your risk of heart attack and stroke. You are more likely to develop diabetes as well since nicotine has been found to have an adverse effect on the regulation of the blood sugar levels.

You are at greater risk of cataracts as a smoker. When you have this condition, the lens of the eye becomes cloudy and your vision is impaired. The only way in which this condition can be treated effectively is surgery. You can avoid this serious disease and the complex treatment just by getting rid of your bad habit.

Smoking causes premature aging. Wrinkles appear on the faces of smoker sooner than on the faces of non-smokers. This is also applicable to aging spots and saggy skin. Furthermore, the wrinkles are deeper and more evident. Basically, you will look older than you are and this is impossible to reverse in the long term unless you stop.

Smoking is a serious risk factor for impotence in men. It has been found that the toxins present in tobacco can prevent the dilation of the blood vessels which support erection. It is true that the risk is not extremely high, but combined with other factors smoking can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction.

Now you are well aware of the health risks associated with cigarettes. What should give you further motivation to quit smoking is that after ten years of tobacco-free life all of the extra risk associated with smoking will be down to zero. This is certainly something worth fighting for.
