Quit Smoking If You Love Your Teeth

teeth

There are many reasons why a smoker wants to quit smoking. Apart from the usual lung cancers, now smokers must beware of oral cancer. If you love your mouth, your teeth and you love to eat, you must take note that smoking can cause your gums to recede, the roots of your tooth exposed and losing the ability to taste. I means that your gum is weak, you are going to lose all your teeth soon and you cannot taste your favourite food anymore.

When people lose their teeth in accidents, they rely on the dentures or implants to improve their appearance. However, the problem with implant is that smoking can reduce the amount of blood reaching the implant so the implant might not be effective at all. Smoking does not effect teeth implant only but more than that. Simple procedures such as filling and tooth removal can be ineffective all because of smoking. Antibiotics and other treatments are totally useless for someone who smokes.

According to a study, approximately 32% of smokers need to have the filling replaced, another 10.1% smokers need tooth extraction and 22.5% smokers need dental cleaning. Another fact about smoking is it can increase the build up of plaque and tartar so if you really care about your oral care and treatment, please quit smoking and you will have better oral treatment and the treatment will be effective so you are not wasting your money and time while enjoying a better appearance.

The Cause of Premature Death - Cigarette Smoking

Premature death is define as death that occurs before the average age of death within a population. For example, the average age for all causes of death in US is around 70 years old but the age is reduced to 35 for people who smoke cigarettes. Cardiovasular disease is US no. 1 cause of death in US. Cardiovascular diseases such as heart problems can be prevented by quit smoking.

According to a study being conducted in US, cigarette smoking is responsible for almost 440,000 premature death of a total of 2.4 million deaths annually. This is indeed a shocking fact but cigarette smoking has been rising instead of decreasing and if this continues, there will be even more premature deaths and death itself alone.

The death rate for men who smoke is 60% compared to those who don’t smoke whereas for women it is as high as 90%. The premature deaths can be prevented if they quit smoking. However, because it is difficult to kick the habit, there are many people who are reluctant to give up smoking and embrace a healthier living.Some of them give up after few trials in the beginning.

With so many treatments available to help die hard smokers to quit smoking, there seem to have progress with more and more people joining the quit smoking campaign. There are more and more quit smoking programs coming up and more under research. You have a choice whether to live longer and a healthier life or to live a short and unfulfilling life. It is time to throw the butt away and start to live a new lifestyle, without cigarette.

Tobacco - A Crime Against Humanity!

Believe me.. no other consumer product in the history of the world has even come close to inflicting this amount of damage on mankind. If anything else of this magnitude was to pose the same threat to life, whether it was human induced or naturally occurring – be it war, terrorist attack, genocide, ethnic cleansing, natural disaster or disease, it would as a rule command immediate international intervention! Think about the current ‘war on terror’. So why isn’t it?

You would have learnt how to smoke from that very first cigarette, as you most certainly practised the draw-back and other styles of smoking until you finally achieved that great smokers status.

If you were born to be a smoker then maybe your nose would have been made upside down (like a chimney) with a little umbrella over it to keep the rain out! You’d have a special filtration system for your lungs and firemen wouldn’t need any breathing apparatus either.
