Smoking injurious to health
Before mentioning the harmful effects of smoking and how harmful it is to health, let me differentiate between habit and addiction.
Habits are usually non-destructive. A bad habit is annoying and has a negative effect, but the negative effect is negligible to some extent. When a habit becomes harmful, destructive, or out of control, then it becomes an addiction.
Smoking tobacco is both physical dependence and mental addiction.
As we start smoking, nicotine reaches our brain just in a few seconds. This makes smoking very addictive and difficult to stop. The nicotine inhaled in cigarette smoke is absorbed into the bloodstream from the lungs and quickly travels to the heart and brain.
How does smoking affect your body?
Tobacco use harms every part of our body. It releases nicotine and more than 5,000 other chemicals, including various carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) into our lungs, blood, and organs.
Similarly, smoking poses a risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and safe framework problems, including stroke, pneumonic disease, chronic bronchitis), and some tumors (especially cellular disorders in the lungs)
The cause behind smoking
People say they use tobacco for several reasons - such as depression, and anxiety reduction. However, research shows that smoking increases anxiety and stress.
After quitting smoking, be aware that we may experience some physical and emotional withdrawal due to nicotine deficiency. The main concern to remember is that these side effects are short-term and will spread over long distances. Since nicotine is an energy generator, you may feel a little sluggish.
Around 3 days after quitting, most people will experience a bitter mood, restlessness, irritability, and headache, returns may come but believe me it is temporary and will be finished within 3 or 4 minutes.
Advantages of quitting smoking
When you succeed to quit smoking,
after 8 hours, your body's levels of carbon monoxide and nicotine will return to moderate levels,
empowering your brain to get the oxygen it needs. By the middle of the day, your carbon monoxide level returns and with the 24-hour mark, you have effectively reduced your risk of heart failure.
2 days after quitting, you may notice a heightened sense of smell and taste.

9 months after quitting, the lungs have appreciably healed themselves. The sensitive, hair-like systems inside the lungs known as cilia have recovered from the toll cigarette smoke took on them. Those systems help push mucus out of the lungs and assist fight infections.
By quitting smoking, within one year the risk for coronary heart disease decreases by 50% and After 5 years, the body healed itself enough for the arteries and blood vessels to start to widen again. This widening means the blood is less likely to clot, lowering the risk of stroke.
Smoking says a ton about our character. It shows that we can't care less about our well-being, our friends and family, and how we affect our children. There are many barriers to smoking, but there is no one to stop them. The benefits of not smoking are much more. Only a fool here will make an unacceptable decision.
Smoking is a harmful habit that can lead to severe health complications
When a person quits smoking, the body itself starts to naturally heal and recapture the vitality of a non-smoker over time. Some symptoms, like lowered blood pressure, are seen nearly incontinently.
