You who smoke may not realize what exactly the risks of smoking in the short term. In fact, when you still feel fit even after many years of smoking, your body actually has to show the symptoms are caused by cigarette smoke. Do not believe? Seven items below are a few:

1. Dull skin. If you stop smoking, you will notice a positive change first: your skin will look more vivid and brighter. The nurses say that they can distinguish between smokers and nonsmokers only from his skin.

2. Cough. When you walk too fast, went out when the weather was not good, or inhaling steam from hot water shower, suddenly you'll feel like a TB patient. That's what happens when your lungs react to excessive irritation.

3. Sense of smell and taste are reduced. Smokers tend to become obese after quitting smoking? Apparently this is not just a myth. The reason is because all the food was delicious because suddenly you feel better able to savor the taste.

4. Hours of sleep a mess. According to the National Sleep Foundation (www.sleepfoundation.org), smokers were more frequently experience sleep problems than non-smokers. Nicotine is stimulannya that will disrupt your normal sleep pattern. Smoking before bed makes you more difficult to fall asleep. When smokers sleep, they experience symptoms caused by nicotine, which also cause sleep problems. In addition, nicotine can also cause nightmares, difficulty waking up, and sleepy during the day.

5. Easy flu. Until now the researchers were not able to explain why smokers have an exaggerated response to virus infection. However, from various studies shows that smokers are more likely to experience mortality during influenza epidemics, and more prone to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, obstructive lung disease chronic). Immune cell chaos expected as the cause of smokers more easily catch a cold, flu, and pneumonia than non-smokers.

6. Marital problems. Studies in the 1990's performed by Eric J Doherty and William Doherty of the University of Minnesota found that a smoker's risk of divorce increased by 53 percent. Age, race, education, income, and gender did not affect this phenomenon. If young smokers tend to enter adulthood with more psychological problems than non-smokers, smokers appear to have adult levels of depression and anxiety is higher. Those who smoke have the characteristics and life experiences that can cause problems in the relationship.

7. Precancerous lesions. In the smoker's mouth will grow white scaly patches that pain, which can lead to oral cancer.

Quitting smoking is not fun, but died of lung cancer, or seeing your son or daughter sobbing at your bedside in the hospital is certainly more pathetic.
