Smoking is harmful to your health
When your parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke virtually anywhere, even in hospitals! Cigarette advertising was everywhere. Currently, we are more aware of what smoking is bad for our health. Cigarettes are restricted or prohibited in virtually all public places and companies that manufacture cigarettes and can not do propaganda on buses or trains, road signs, television and in many magazines. Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema and heart disease, that can shorten your life by 10 years or more and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars annually.
So why do people still smoke? The answer is very simple: it is an addiction. Once you start is very difficult to quit smoking is a habit hard to break because the snuff contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. As with heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind so quickly get used to the nicotine that the person needs to consume to feel good. Almost no smoker begins to smoke as adults. Statistics show that approximately 9 out of 10 smokers start before 18 years of age. Some teens who smoke say they start because they think it makes them look bigger (and it is true, as long as you want to have yellow teeth and wrinkles). Others smoke because they believe it helps them relax (but not, in fact, the heart beats faster while a person smokes).
Some start smoking as a way to feel rebellious or to differentiate (which works if you want your friends have to wait somewhere else while you smoke). Others start because their friends smoke, or simply because they have something to do. Some people, especially girls, start smoking because they think it can control your weight. The diseases that smoking can cause, such as lung diseases or cancer, do cause weight loss, but not a very good way to lose weight! Another of the reasons why people start smoking is because members of your family makes. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never thought they would become addicted. That’s why people say they would have been much easier not to start smoking. The advertisements of cigarettes from the time when your parents were young convinced many of them that smoking was glamorous, striking or fascinating, although in reality is something repugnant-smelling, expensive and unhealthy.
The cigarette ads in the 1940s even showed doctors who recommended the cigarette as a way to relax! The cigarette ads still show smokers as attractive and modern, sophisticated and elegant, or rebellious and cool. The good news is that now these ads are not so visible and are less effective than before: in the same way that doctors are more sensible about cigarettes today than in the previous generation, teenagers are more aware of how manipulative they can be advertisements. The government has also passed laws that limit where and how you can advertise tobacco companies to help children avoid the vice of smoking.
How did the cigarette your health There are no physical reasons to start smoking: the body does not need snuff in the way it needs food, water, sleep and exercise. In fact, many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are actually poisons that can kill in high enough doses. The body is smart and defended when it is being poisoned.

Quitting smoking during pregnancy
Quitting is not easy. The cravings, the irritability, the powerful desire to smoke “last cigarette” are sometimes overwhelming. However, now that you’re pregnant, you probably realize the importance of saying goodbye to this habit. Although you tried before without success, this time you can achieve. Approximately 40 percent of smokers who try during pregnancy, get it (a success rate far higher than women who are not pregnant). Yet, many continue their habit, which increases the risk of having a premature birth, the baby is born with low birth weight or other complications arise, such as vaginal bleeding and spontaneous abortions. What differentiates it stop those who continue smoking? In general, pregnant women who stop smoking are not necessarily stronger or more intelligent. Nor does it mean they want more babies. The difference is simply that adopt better strategies to reach their goal. Each person is different and what to work for you, perhaps another will not fare so well, but there are several smoking cessation techniques that stand out for their effectiveness. BabyCenter offers you these five strategies to quit snuff.
Plan in advance
Quitting smoking is not as easy as making a ball with your last package and throw it away. Need a plan to overcome the challenge that you face. Most people leave it set a “start date” and make public their friends, family and coworkers. If you are pregnant is very important not to delay too long. Once you’ve set the “when” it is time to think about the “how.” You will have to decide if you’re ready to leave at once, if you prefer to download first the number of cigarettes per day and leave them completely within a week or two, or if you use a nicotine patch therapy. If you choose this last option, talk to your doctor to recommend a product. Whatever your decision, you need to have clear what you do when you’re between an irresistible urge to smoke. Some people chew gum or eat something, other people are going for a walk. Find something to distract you for a few minutes and help you resist temptation.
Get support from those around you
Quitting smoking is much easier if you try to do it alone. Support from family and friends can increase your chances of success. If you know someone who has quit smoking, call her when you feel a craving too big to give you encouragement. If you have family or friends who smoke, ask them not to do so before you. If your partner smokes, encourage him to quit or ask to leave the garden or the balcony to smoke. Some studies indicate that women more easily leave you if your partner does the same time.
Talk to your doctor
Whatever tactics you choose, a conversation with your doctor can mean the difference between success and failure. He can give you information and advise and at least give you some words of encouragement are always good. Do not let your first conversation about the snuff with your doctor is the last. If your next visit you are still smoking, tell it with full honesty and without feeling embarrassed. It is best to speak out for your welfare and your baby. And when you finally quit smoking, Tell too! No doubt share your joy.
Never forget why you’re quitting smoking
At first, you probably spend very bad times. If you do not feel a strong motivation, you probably have difficulty resisting the urge to smoke a cigarette. Experts believe that smokers have to be very clear why they want to quit, and that motivation must be very personal. In other words, we must be clear about why we have decided to support a process as hard as detoxification. I think this is one of the best gifts you can give your baby, while still in your womb. Constantly reminded of the benefits of not smoking, and of good courage. What you get!
Do not give up
Have a plan. You have the motivation. Your partner, your doctor, your family and friends support you. The time has come. You have to be stronger than the craving. If you give now, you have to start all over again. After some weeks, the withdrawal will start to recede and the urge to smoke will be less intense and frequent. If you smoke a cigarette again, do not beat yourself or lose sight of your goal. Many smokers try several times before the final. If you relapse do not beat yourself telling you that you have failed. Be positive: If you’ve gone a week without smoking, is a week in which neither you nor your baby have been exposed to toxins from snuff. Learn from each attempt to be better prepared next time.

When He Wanted to Quit
After the discussion you had yesterday on the smoking ban and its consequences, I wondered how I was when I smoked, and what my position today if it were a drug addict. Because I smoked a whopping 30 years, from 14 to 44 years old.
Fortunately or unfortunately for me, I leave my trail of thought, not always linear, not always consistent, as my own life, like a shared diary from the media when I was publishing opinion columns. On May 11, 1989, almost 22 years ago, I wrote a column in the newspaper La Gaceta de los Negocios, of which he was Editor in Chief, which explained my fears for my numerous failed attempts to quit smoking. It was titled “One of these days I quit” and then you play it for you to understand why one of my favorite meditations: “Every day I do not believe in less things.” There he goes. I start off my clothes.
One of my biggest obsessions is to stop smoking. It invest much of my energy. I’ve tried so often and sometimes I enrolled in English classes, my other unmentionable vice. Of the latter was curin to remember that my strength was sufficiently rich taylor, while I lost money and time to baskets. Above all, time. Because, says a friend of mine, whites enjoy more leisure time than the Spanish because they do not take overtime to learn English.
