Many people believe that smoking eases stress. In fact, the opposite is true as you induce the “fight or flight” response in your body every time you light up. Your heart rate and blood pressure increase, your body produces adrenalin and your digestive and immune systems are slowed.
When you quit smoking, not only do you stop poisoning your body but your body starts to repair the damage caused by smoking.
Your lung capacity increases, your skin ages more slowly, your risk of heart disease eventually lowers to that of a non-smoker. These are just a few of the benefits.
Smoking was once a very social habit. Nowadays, for many it is done almost in solitude. As a smoker you are no longer welcome in public places - public transport, theatres, cinemas, pubs, restaurants. Whether at work or play, the smoker is a social outcast.
