Smoking:

With research and old cases, it has been concluded that bad breath and the smell goes away from smokers, but the wrinkles and the discoloration stays with you for life. Dr Edelman quotes that ‘swearing off nicotine is the most effective prevention action anyone can take to ensure better health”. The simplest way of getting rid of smoking is to give it up completely (with help); there is no “reducing” it. The first thing that a person needs to do after quitting is check for lung damage.

Poor Dental Hygiene:

Unattended bacteria’s in ones mouth can lead to several diseases including: gum recession, gum inflammation and periodontal disease (which also are in the gums). The first step to damage control is to get a new toothbrush, and not just get it, but actually start to use it. Also, use your floss on daily basis and visit your dentist every now and then in order to get a teeth cleaning to get the excess bacteria’s removed.

Unprotected Sex:

If you’re sexually involved more than one partner – skipping the condom once in a while is not an option. Having unprotected sex puts you at the risk for STD’s. Getting a practitioner who you can discuss your problems with comfortably and openly is of vital importance. One should also get themselves checked every now and then for diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B or gonorrhea.

Junk-Food Junkie:

People who’re too used to having fast food should get their BMI’s calculates and should further get their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked and if these are high then it is not good news. One should make sure that they take a lot of fruits and vegetables, avoid snacks, reduce the amount of food in-take over all as well as increase physical activity during their day.

Heavy-Drinking:

Exceeding the limits of how much one should drink in a day can increase the risks for alcohol use disorder, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence. Heavy drinkers should make a personal health promotion program which focuses on them taking sufficient sleep, exercise and diet. Distractions always help recovering and former alcoholic’s e.g. sports. Even after one thinks that they’ve been sober for long, they should still be vigilant about how much their alcohol intake is.

Sun without Sunscreen:

Excess sun exposure can cause skin cancer and skin ageing. Skin pigmentation, freckling, visible capillaries and wrinkles are also a result of severe sun damage. One should have a full body check up by a dermatologist every now and then. That’s the key. You also need to get yourself a broad-spectrum sunscreen to use when going out in sunlight, to keep your skin protected.

Hope never betrays a determine mind. Be positive and confident, because you can quit smoking. Take the decision and set out a date or a time, then put yourself to the test. Like an idle mind is a devil’s workshop, so should you busy your mind with engagements to ward off the thought of lighting a cigarette. The next hardest task will be to wean away from the ‘cigarette friends.’ Colleagues indulged in smoking might entice you for ‘old time sakes.’ However, for a programmed mind, a relapse will mean a complete disaster, back into the past.

Be prepared to be faced with the withdrawal symptoms of the addiction which progresses highly during the first week. It might leave you dry, depressed and moody. It will depend on how tactfully you play your cards, keeping in mind the benefits of your decision taken.  Physical symptoms may include headache, anxiety, nausea and the craving for tobacco. On the positive note, the urge for nicotine will be relieved by six months.

Refrain from using cigarettes as a vent for expressing happiness or sadness. This is an excuse to trap you into the mess. Build up a healthy dietary chart and indulge in physical activities to keep the mind strong. A rehabilitated person must be sincere and committed. Work on the lost stamina and gain it through minor activities such as walking home instead of taking a taxi or take the stairs instead of the office lift.

If your a gamer on the computer and want that new release on a game that you been waiting for you might not have the money right away unless for just one week you don’t buy any cigarettes. There is a nice pair of sneakers that you want and instead you spend the money on smoking. If you quit smoking you would have been able to get them. The taxes on cigarettes are continually on the rise so you will spend more as time goes on then you do now.

Let’s figure out now what you spend on cigarettes rather on something that is harmful. Let’s say for instance you spend six dollars on cigarettes a day. Now we will multiply that by seven to find out what you spend in a week, so the answer is $42 a week.
There is fifty-two weeks in a year, so we will multiply the 42$ by the 52 weeks in a year, and the answer will be $2184 a year. Now if you smoked for five years that number will be $10,920. That is a down payment on a new house in just five years time. That should be enough to amaze you.
