SMOKERS SHOULD
STOP SMOKING
Few people would argue that tobacco
smoke is good for you. For more than forty years, scientists have said
cigarette smoking can cause serious health problems. But today, smokers
and people who do not smoke often argue about smoking in the workplace.
Most people know that smoking causes
lung cancer. But it also has been proven to be a major cause of cancers
of the mouth, esophagus, kidney, bladder and pancreas. Cigarettes are not
the only danger. Smokeless tobacco and cigars also have been linked to
cancer. But these facts are not enough to prevent people from smoking.
Nicotine is a substance in tobacco
that gives pleasure to smokers. Nicotine is a poison. The American
Cancer Society says nicotine can kill a person when taken in large
amounts. It does this by stopping the muscles used for breathing.
There are products designed to help
people reduce their dependence on cigarettes. Several kinds of nicotine
replacement products provide small amounts of the chemical. These can
help people stop smoking.
Experts also say a drug used to treat
depression has helped smokers. The drug is called Zyban. It does
not contain nicotine. It works by increasing levels of dopamine in the brain.
Dopamine is a chemical that produces pleasure.
Here is some advice from people who
have stopped smoking: Stay away from alcoholic drinks. Take a walk
instead of smoking a cigarette. Avoid people who are smoking. If
possible, stay away from situations that trouble you.
It is not easy to stop smoking.
And people never can completely control their own health. But as one
doctor advises her patients, becoming a non-smoker is one way to gain control
of your life.
