I Will Quit Smoking - With determination anyone could do it! Quit Smoking today - It’s never too late!

Ignorance is no excuse to suffer from heart disease associated with smoking. For years doctors have tried to preach the dangers of smoking to the public, making the dangers widely known. Some people still choose to not take these warnings seriously. You may think it will never happen to you but is it really worth the risk?

At least 60 of the thousands of chemicals in a cigarette are toxic. These toxins invade your blood stream accelerating the speed in which your arteries can harden, leaving you susceptible to coronary heart disease, severely increasing your chances of suffering from a heart attack, heart failure, and even sudden death.

There are people that still ask the question if they only smoke one to two cigarettes a day are they still a candidate for heart disease. Your body isn’t counting how many cigarettes you put in it, which would be like asking if I only stood on the train tracks one time today would I still get hit by a train. No one knows for sure, but it’s always a possibility.

Each person’s body is different this is why a doctor can’t tell you yes you can smoke a pack a day for a year and not have this affect you, because only your body can decide when it has had all it can take. Your family history can’t be avoided, especially when adding smoking as another factor you are at higher risk of heart disease than the average person.

Each time you light a cigarette because you just have to have one you are affecting everyone around you. Second hand smoke affects the risk of heart disease for those around you too. Is it really worth lighting that cigarette to harm those people you care about? It’s like you are throwing them in front of the speeding train just as it goes by, they didn’t make the choice to smoke.

If the cigarette company listed the thousands of chemicals that were in their cigarettes on each pack the risk of heart disease would surely drop, because people would be repulsed at what they were putting in their mouths. These toxins are what contribute to fatty deposits building up in our arteries. For women who smoke and take certain birth control they have even higher chances of suffering from heart disease than the average person.

You may choose to put yourself at risk of heart disease due to your smoking, but you should also consider those closest to you when you next consider when and where you are going to light that next cigarette. Quitting smoking is the only way to free you from the potential health risks associated with the habit.
