Smoking!?!?!?

Question

How does it affect vital capacity

Answer 1

Smoking is a habit that is very hard to stop.

The more you smoke, the lower your vital capacity. Vital capacity is determined by measuring the amount of air you take in with each breath. In the test you take a deep breath and then blow it out into a device that tells your doctor the volume of air dispelled.

If you do not stop smoking, this limits your activity when your lungs no longer expand enough to take in sufficient vital oxygen from the air that has only about 19% to begin with.

Cigarette smokers double their risk of heart attack. They are at even more risk from sudden cardiac death. Stroke kills more young smokers than nonsmokers.

The American Cancer Society said some years ago that when you stop smoking in:

15 minutes:- Blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature of hands and feet return to normal.

8 hours:- Carbon monoxide level drop to normal and oxygen level increase to normal. Take note that carbon monoxide is a deadly poison.

24 hours:- Heart attack risk decreases. Isn’t that good to know?

Within 48 hours:- Nerve endings start regrowing and your ability to smell and taste increases. Did you know that cigarette smoking stops nerve growth?

2 weeks to 3 months:- Circulation improves, walking is easier and lung function increases up to 30%. Now, that is a great benefit, isn't it?

1 to 9 months:- Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease. Cilia regrow in the lungs with increased ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce infection.


It will take a while if you have not stopped smoking a long time, but the relief must be wonderful.
1 year:- Excess risk of heart disease is half that of a smoker.

years:- Lung cancer death rate of a former one-pack-a-day smoker decreases almost one-half. Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, and esophagus is half that of smokers. I've had Some communities have stopped chewing tobacco companies from giving chewing tobacco away at rodeos where it easily can get into the hands of children. Can you think of anything worse than mouth cancer?

10 years:- The lung cancer death rate is the same as nonsmokers. Precancerous cells are replaced. Risk of death from cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas decrease.

15 years:- Risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker. So now you are back to normal.

Think about it.

If you put $600 dollars each year into a stock mutual fund, annuity, or other financial instrument that generates 5% annually, you will have over twenty grand after 20 years.

That is if you add it in one chunk each year. The $600 figure assumes that you are spending $50 each month on cigarettes.

There are those who are spending a lot more. You will have more if you invest $50 monthly rather than saving until you get $600 at the end of the year.

And all this because you stopped smoking.

Do not be taken in by television ads that tell you to go to their site to learn how to stop smoking. Television ads are used for two purposes. They either sale the product or they enhance brand name recognition.

If you want to stop smoking, stop watching television altogether


Though the smokers are aware of the dangers of smoking, they are not able to kick the bad habit. They have their own reasons for smoking. Let's have a look at the various pros and cons of smoking. The pros of smoking are as below:
1) Most of the smokers believe that they feel a very strong bonding with other smokers.
2) Smokers enjoy a sense of gratification by smoking.
3) Smoking cigarettes give smokers the feeling of creating a ritual.
4) Nicotine gives a feeling of pleasure to the smokers.
5) Watching the smoke swirl and the cigarette burn is a fun for most of the smokers.

But the cons of smoking cigarette are numerous. They are:
1) Cigarette smoke leaves an after smell on everything: your clothes, car and home.
2) You may not be able to breathe properly.
3) You may have a nagging cough all day and night.
4) You may suffer from severe headaches, and occasional migraines.
5) You may feel dizzy after smoking cigarettes too fast or after having too many of them.
6) You may have yellow skin, tooth and fingernails.
7) You may have lot of phlegm, which may force you to clear your voice continuously and may even make you lose your voice mid sentence.
8) You may suffer from increased rate of hypertension.
9) You may have a feeling of inadequacy and substance dependence.
10) You may suffer from nausea after too much of smoking.
11) You may feel anxiety and no relaxation throughout the day.
12) You may experience limited motivation and energy to do anything.

Answer 3

Anything which can create an excited state of your body, is giving you temporary energy. But, remember, energy is created within body by consumption of some other form of residual energy. If you continue to draw your reserve energy from your body, say by smoking and smoking and smoking. The reserves created by the body are slowly depleted. In other words, the capacity of body to call energy, at a specific fraction of time is impaired badly.
