Smoking is Not Cool but Blogging is

Posted on the October 23rd, 2008 under Life by Papa Bear

quit smokingSmoking is not cool! Quitting from smoking is cool! Do you know that 30,000 Malaysians suffer from lung cancer annually? Having lung cancer is not cool. Giving second hand smokes to those who do not smoke is not cool too. Blogging is cool. You will find out after reading this entry to the end.

I am not a smoker and I do not hate smokers but if smokers can quit, I would like them better. Think about the money that you can save by quitting.

Did you know the positive effects of quitting begin within the first hour of not lighting up?

  1. 20 minutes after quitting, your heart rate and blood pressure drops to normal.
  2. 12 hours after quitting, carbon monoxide levels in the body returns to normal.
  3. 24 hours after quitting, the possibility of a heart attack decreases.
  4. Between 2 weeks to 3 months, blood circulation and lung function improve.
  5. Between 1 to 9 months after quitting, cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out to the lungs) regain normal function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs and reduce the risk of infection.
  6. 1 year after quitting, the risk of a heart attack is halved.
  7. 5 years after quitting, the risk of stroke is reduced to that of a non-smoker.
  8. 10 years after quitting, risk of lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker.
  9. 15 years after quitting, the risk of a heart attack or coronary heart disease is the same as a non-smoker’s.

These cool facts came from Pfizer: The Quitter’s Guide To Becoming A Champ. It is a new site that was built to help smokers quit. Go there and find out more if you want to quit.

Next, Blogging is cool when you get a cool award from a fellow blogger.
