Four myths about smoking
Four myths about smoking
Despite the prohibitions and tightening of laws,smokers in our country do not become less. Smoking people understand that smoking harms their health and leads to dangerous diseases, but they continue to smoke, inventing new excuses. Here are the four most common myths about smoking.
Smoking makes me fashionable
This myth is especially common amongsmoking teenagers. Smokers present themselves in the image of a business lady, and young men see themselves as brutal men, courageous and brave heroes. But in fact a cigarette in the mouth of a teen does not make it attractive. Yellow teeth and the constant smell of tobacco only repels others from smoking people. For a long time already the image of a successful and fashionable person is associated with a healthy lifestyle without smoking.
Smoking soothes me
In fact, smoking does not help to calm down,it only distracts a person from the problem for a while while he smokes a cigarette. With the same success in a stressful situation, a person can go and drink a glass of water or eat an apple. This will also distract him from the problem, but will not bring any harm to the person and his environment.
I smoke light cigarettes, they are not harmful
Light cigarettes are as harmful as strong ones. Only harm they cause in another way. They, of course, contain less nicotine, but they have a filter that protects the smoker worse from getting harmful substances into the lungs. In addition, light cigarettes, as the smokers themselves say, it is difficult to get a lot of smoke. And this means that they need to smoke twice a day for the day.
Smoking helps me lose weight
It is believed that smoking interrupts the appetite and thispromotes faster weight loss. To some extent this is indeed the case. But this is due to serious disruption of the digestive tract. Therefore, when a person quits smoking, he picks up 5-7 kg, but in the future, with proper nutrition, his weight comes back to normal.
