Why Smoking Is Bad For You
Smoking has many negative effects on the smoker as well as the people around them. Studies have reiterated that smoking causes a variety of diseases including many types of cancer, heart-related complications, and inability to release toxic materials from the body. In addition, female smokers have also been warned of early menopause, increased hot-flashes and possibilities of giving birth to deformed children. Equally, smokers experience psychological and emotional problems due to stereotyping and prejudice based on their physical appearances. Also, it is imperative to note that many smokers experience serious economic challenges as they might be unable to control their spending in the substances because of the addiction. Cancer is a major health impact of smoking. Many types of cancer such as blood cancer, cancer of the throat, among lung cancer among others have been linked directly to cigarette smoking. Smokers have higher chances of developing any of the types of cancer than non-smokers. Additionally, non-smokers or the secondhand smokers also risk developing cancer-related illnesses. Smokers also experience psychological problems occasioned by the pressure from family members and friends to quit smoking. Failure to meet the demands of society due to addiction can easily lead to frustrations, depression and social withdrawal. In addition, such addicts might cause family conflicts, separations or even divorce. Acquiring substances such as cigarette needs a substantial amount to spend on a daily basis. Smokers spend money that would otherwise be used for important family projects or savings to purchase the drugs to meet their urge to smoke. Menopause is a critical stage in life when one’s reproductive process stops, thus unable to conceive. The increased addiction to smoking among women may affect their reproductive health by reaching menopause before the actual age. This may affect the fertility rate in society leading to population imbalance in some families and the country at large.
