23.3% of Americans smoke. It's time for a change.
About 442,000 people in the United States die each year from illnesses caused by cigarette smoking. Nearly 90 percent of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking. Also, smokers are at increased risk for cancer of the larynx, oral cavity, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas.
This could all be avoided if we all became a bunch of quitters.
Be A Quitter. Smoking is Killing You
When you quit smoking, the benefits begin within minutes of your last cigarette.
blood pressure decreases
pulse rate drops
body temperature of hands and feet increases.
At 8 hours:
carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal
oxygen level in blood increases to normal
At 24 hours:
chance of a heart attack decreases
At 48 hours:
nerve endings start regrowing
ability to smell and taste improve
This is the most trying time for most quitters. The first 2 days to urge to smoke will be the strongest. They say one day at a time..pfft.. more like one minute at a time. Find something else to do during that time you would be out smoking and the urge will pass. After over coming a few urges you will see that it's not so hard to make it through that 5 or 10 minutes that time seems to stop while you have that nic fit.
The first day most experience crankiness, difficulty concentrating or inability to focus, and insomnia. Working the first day seems to be very difficult. You may want to schedule your quit day for a day off. Snuggle up with a book, watch some TV, do some writing. Anything that will help you get from craving to craving without too much hassle with other people. I find when I write down the symptoms I'm having when I have a craving it focuses me on how I'm feeling and I think to myself "boy, I never want to go through this again." This reinforces, for me, why I'm quitting in the first place.
Something else that's worth mentioning here I think is the fact that when you started smoking you had to learn how to smoke. Remember taking short drags and inhaling them fast so you didn't cough on them. Then eventually taking longer more satisfying drags. Then years of smoking after dinner, in the car, when you wake up; now you decide to quit. What you need to do now is learn how to not smoke. Learn how to start your morning without a cigarette, learn how to finish dinner and not smoke, learn how to drive and not smoke.
So take it a minute at a time, and understand that during this tough time you are learning how to not smoke just as you learned how to smoke so many years ago.
