Thus, smokers may lose hearing at an earlier age than nonsmokers and are more vulnerable to this complication in case of an ear infection or exposure to loud noise.

Nicotine is highly addictive, making the smoker crave cigarettes non-stop. And if those cigarettes are taken out of the picture, then the smoker can become anxious, irritable, and aggravated—all withdrawal symptoms. Even more accurate is the fact that college is oftentimes a smoker’s paradise. Students, if not already smokers, may turn to cigarettes to deal with the stress that comes along with being in college. And this can all make quitting smoking while in college extremely difficult. However, there are support systems and things that you can do to successfully quit smoking in college.

      One of the most popular supports when it comes to quitting smoking are the many different types of nicotine aids available. There’s nicotine gum, nicotine patches, nicotine sprays, and more. All of these have one goal in mind: to ease your body gradually off of nicotine instead of making it quit “cold turkey”, which can be quite the shock on the body—and quite challenging for the mind. Many smokers find that they’re able to successfully quit by turning to these nicotine aids. They don’t make quitting easy, but they make it more bearable.

      Another thing that can be extremely helpful for smokers when it comes to quitting is a support group. There are many different support groups out there for those trying to kick the habit. The Quit Smoking Now program was developed at Florida State University but has now migrated to many different colleges across the nation. The program holds regular classes focusing on quitting smoking, providing smokers with tips and techniques that will help them to stay off of nicotine and away from cigarettes.

      These are just two of the main things that can help college students who are trying to quit smoking. If you’re interested in quitting smoking, check out the nicotine aids that are available at your local drugstore, and check around campus for support groups such as Quit Smoking Now.

        During the investigation it was determined the levels of oxidative stress and inflammation in various muscles of healthy smokers (without cardiovascular or respiratory disease) and guinea pigs exposed to smoke for six months. Was also determined that chronic exposure did not lead to increased levels of inflammation in the muscles, but significantly increased levels of oxidation of muscle proteins in both models.
