Health Reasons To Stop Smoking: Today there is a great push to get people to stop smoking not only because it will help them to live longer but also because of the huge cost that smokers have on the medical establishment. Another reason for this pus is that over the past several yeas have shown that not only smokers, but non-smokers are also affected by the chemicals that are in the smoke when one burns tobacco.

To give you an idea of how bad smoking is to your health consider this: The CDC estimates that some 440,000 people die each year from tobacco related smoking illnesses.

These illness include lung cancer, heart attacks, emphysema, stroke and high blood pressure.  It is also know to cause fertility problems and of course we all know that when smoking the toxins in tobacco can be transfered to the developing baby just like alcohol can.

If these health reasons to stop smoking isn't enough consider that every time you light up you are putting into your system nicotine, tar, cadmium, ammonia, carbon monoxide, arsenic and many other poisons.

These toxins can have a long term negative impact on your health as many of them are not removed from the body with many of the stop smoking products that are available today.

This is because these products are basically a substitute for the cigarette which contains many addictive chemicals, nicotine being the primary one.

The products are designed to alleviate the cravings and the withdrawal symptoms you get when you try to stop smoking, on top of that they can also have side effects that can be extremely dangerous.

For instances some of the products have been know to cause erratic behavior, depression and even suicide so they are not something that one should consume without proper consultation.
