Smokers Must Quit, Not Just Cut Back

without comments

aa2.jpgIf you are one of those heavy smokers, and think that cutting down on smoking is gonna improve your condition, then think again. A new study shows that there’s no difference between heavy smoking and just a few cigarettes a day.

This research shows that it’s all or nothing when it comes to quitting smoking for health reasons. Smokers who are eager to cut the risk of dying early must quit smoking completely because cutting down, even by half, is not enough.

And not just this, it has also been observed that children born to smoking mothers are more likely to pick up the habit.

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide. It increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Health experts warn that the estimated global deaths due to smoking could double to 10 million or more by 2020.

So it’s not just enough to cut back, quit smoking completely !!!
