Dr. Reckeweg R77 Anti-Smoking Drop

You can stop smoking if you keep on trying. No one can predict the exact time of your death if you continue smoking. Each cigarette can cut short your life by 5 minutes, if that is of any help. You can judge for yourself with the following data: Summary: (Source: Center for Disease Control and Prevention) ? Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five deaths. ? More than 10 times as many U.S. citizens have died prematurely from cigarette smoking than have died in all the wars fought by the United States during its history. ? Smoking causes about 90% (or 9 out of 10) of all lung cancer deaths in men and women.1,2 More women die from lung cancer each year than from breast cancer. ? About 80% (or 8 out of 10) of all deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are caused by smoking. ? Cigarette smoking increases risk for death from all causes in men and women. ? Smoking is estimated to increase the risk? o For coronary heart disease by 2 to 4 times o For stroke by 2 to 4 times o Of men developing lung cancer by 25 times ? Of women developing lung cancer by 25.7 times ? Smoking causes diminished overall health, increased absenteeism from work, and increased health care utilization and cost. ? Smoking causes stroke and coronary heart disease. ? Even people who smoke fewer than five cigarettes a day can have early signs of cardiovascular disease. ? Smoking damages blood vessels and can make them thicken and grow narrower. This makes your heart beat faster and your blood pressure go up. Clots can also form. ? Blockages caused by smoking can also reduce blood flow to your legs and skin. ? Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. ? Cigarette smoking causes most cases of lung cancer. ? If you have asthma, tobacco smoke can trigger an attack or make an attack worse. ? Smokers are 12 to 13 times more likely to die from COPD than nonsmokers. Smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body: ? Bladder ? Blood (acute myeloid leukemia) ? Cervix ? Colon and rectum (colorectal) ? Esophagus ? Kidney and ureter ? Larynx ? Liver ? Oropharynx (includes parts of the throat, tongue, soft palate, and the tonsils) ? Pancreas ? Stomach ?

Smoking can also affect men's sperm, which can reduce fertility and also increase risks for birth defects and miscarriage. ? Smoking can affect bone health. o Women past childbearing years who smoke have weaker bones than women who never smoked, and are at greater risk for broken bones. ? Smoking affects the health of your teeth and gums and can cause tooth loss. ? Smoking can increase your risk for cataracts (clouding of the eye?s lens that makes it hard for you to see) and age-related macular degeneration (damage to a small spot near the center of the retina, the part of the eye needed for central vision). ? Smoking is a cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus and can make it harder to control. The risk of developing diabetes is 30?40% higher for active smokers than nonsmokers. ?

If you quit smoking, your risks for cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder drop by half within 5 years.2 ? Ten years after you quit smoking, your risk for lung cancer drops by half.2

Dear lybrate-user, Please try to stop smoking at the earliest. It has many health benefits in the long run. When you stop suddenly, you may get withdrawal symptoms like restlessness, irritability, lack of concentration, increased hunger, sleep disturbance, headache, impatience, anxiety, depression, etc. If you have them please don?t get back to smoking, take nicotine gum or lozenge or patch. They are available in all medical shops. You don?t need a prescription from doctors. Use 2 mg gum if you smoke less than 25 cigarettes/day. Use 4 mg gum if you smoke more than 25 cigarettes/day. First 6 weeks, use 1 gum every 1 ? 2 hours. Reduce it in week 7 ? 9 to one gum every 2 ? 4 hours. In week 10 ? 12, reduce it further to 1 gum every 4 -8 hours. By 3 months, you will be able to stop both cigarettes and gum fully without any withdrawal symptoms. Please feel confident that you can do it and give yourself some gift for doing it like vacation or books or new mobile. Smoking is a chronic relapsing condition like diabetes and B.P. So please don?t worry if you restart smoking. Start all over again to stop. You will learn the situations that make you smoke and avoid them. Please think of health benefits and money saved often. Plan how to avoid relapsing situations, like smoking friends, use of alcohol, stressful feeling or depression. Delay, drink, deep breathe, distract and discuss are the helpful tips. Increase of non smoking zones, gift yourself for stopping smoking. Even chewing cinnamon may delay. Please remember that the urge to smoke comes and goes like waves. Delay and see whether it goes away. It will be like a passing cloud.

Dear Lybrate user. I can understand. Cigarette contains 4000 plus chemicals which are harmful to human body. These chemicals are capable to cause many problems to human body including cancer. There are mehods like nicotine replacement therapy, usage of nicotine gums etc. But in my opinion you should try online deaddiction therapy. Take care.

Just the fact that you want to give up smoking is a good starting point. The habit can be very difficult to halt because of the many conditions attached to smoking. In fact these conditions can exist all through the day unlike other addictions. But your desire to want to stop is the most important factor. It is important to find out about the ill-effects of smoking to have a reason that alarms you about continuing in the habit. The information is really scary. The nicotine in tobacco smoke stimulates the heart beat to raise the blood pressure in no time at all. So you must avoid it like the plague: it is just very bad medicine for you. In fact it is highly toxic too. You will need to stop smoking or consuming any tobacco related items with immediate effect. You should start vigorous exercises, gradually increasing it over a period of time. Do deep breathing exercises every time you feel like smoking (try Yoga), and replace the oral urge with some healthy food substitute to satiate the need. You may also take hard candy or chewing gum. If the urge is too strong, then use nicotine chewing gum or nicotine patches, for a little while until the smoking drive reduces substantially. You may also join Smokers Anonymous in your city where the support is really extraordinary for like-minded people who are also in the same situation. Keep yourself occupied or engaged with interesting activities during the times when it is most tempting. Keep the company of non-smokers for some time i.e. at least for the first 21 days. Above all announce it to everyone that you have quit smoking. Here?s a piece of very good advice: even if you accidentally/willfully take a cigarette, it is not the end of the world ? you can start the cessation all over again. You must persevere with the best support until you defeat this addiction. Counseling is very useful in the initial stages and when temptations are at their highest. All the damage you incurred earlier because of the smoking can be reverted back to normal in quick time.
