Does it give what to think, does not give?
A first preliminary study, when – members take as a basis the results of tests of CO’S measurement (carbon monoxide) effectuated 111.835 smokers and non-smokers of 27 States of WHAT, it allowed to end that the smoke of tobacco causes elevated levels of pollution for carbon monoxide.
In these tests, where only in Portugal more than 6.500 persons participated, the smokers registered a middle tax of 17.5 ppm (you leave for a million), values twice superior at the very level tolerated for the quality of the air in the European cities. Do I take into account these worrying values, be at the height of it take a decision seriously, and not agree?
But what is Carbon Monoxide?
The concern around this odorless, colorless gas is increasing, as soon as the carbon monoxide damages the distribution of oxygen in the blood for the rest of the body. CO is produced by the combustion of petrol, coal, wood, cigarettes, and any type of fire. In the organism, his action occupies the space of the oxygen in the lungs, in the blood, in the heart, and in the brain, being also toxic for some organs. And now, already is it convinced in releasing this near cigarette?
Did you know …

Still for more, stopping smoking brings immediate improvements, as soon as in only three days the nicotine disappears from his body, recovers the taste, and the sense of smell and he breathes with more easiness. Are still not these benefits sufficient thing to stop smoking?
And will we tell him that three months after taking the best decision of his life, to cough, the lack of air, and the respiratory problems lessen by around 10 % thanks to an improvement of his pulmonary function? Still not?
Then keep this fact: a simple cigarette contains more than 4000 substances, being that most of them are toxic and more than 40 are carcinogenic. Now only it has to weigh the pros and cons …
“But I like to smoke …”
This must be the most heard answer when the subject is to stop smoking. Worse than that, it is the enthusiasm that the smokers employ in this affirmation, becoming very difficult not to believe in them. But will it be that they like smoking so much so or hardly like satisfying the necessity of smoking and they were accustomed to the taste and to the smell?
the consumption of tobacco “is associated with the pleasure that is managed to withdraw of the act in you, not creating from soon a dependence”. Nevertheless, from the moment in which this consumption becomes frequent, “the organism begins to be adapted to the new reality, not managing to tolerate the abstinence”. For everything this, “it is possible to understand the pathological side of the smoker who becomes a hostage of the internal necessities.
Since it is not easy to coexist with abstinence, which creates anguish and ailment, which it accommodates, in this way, to a less unpleasant state … looking for refuge in the cigarette”
HABIT VS Addiction
It is in the height of separating these two terms that are frequently associated with the consumption tabágico. In spite of most smokers not distinguishing the habit of the vice, the truth is not much different. Otherwise, let’s see his meanings defined by the dictionaries:
- Habit. Tendency or behavior, generally unconscious; routine; automatism.
- Addiction. Irresistible inclination; dependence; I wonder. Post of this way, is it well-known that the definitions are clearly different, does not it agree?

Even that now, he thinks that “speaking is easier than doing”, he knows that motivation is the key to stop smoking … but also there are sites that can help it in his decision in releasing forever the tobacco.
All the helps are precious
In the height of stopping smoking, all the ways are valid, since it puts on part the cigarette. As such, “it is necessary to give information to the persons so that they can manage his life itself, as soon as to inform on the harms of the tobacco is to give power to take decisions, I take into account to health itself and the life itself”. But when this is not the sufficient thing, there are other alternatives:
- Mints. They supply nicotine through the absorption for the buccal mucous membrane.
- Transdermal System. Transparent stickers that help the continuous and controlled release of the nicotine.
- Oral inhaler. it looks like inhaler for asthma. When the smoker blows and inspires air, a small quantity of nicotine is inhaled.
