Every thing has a beginning, and quite by chance the world learns one more of the so-called "sins" - tobacco. Hardly anyone imagined that after trying the "peace pipe" on Fr. Tobago, Columbus and his sailors will spread a new "pleasure" to all countries. It is interesting to say that at the beginning of the journey cigarettes, tobacco and everything related to it had only positive indications. Over time, detailed studies were conducted on smoking, which showed not only its negative impact on the human body, but also death. However, people did not stop the statements of scientists and doctors, as well as obvious facts. To this day, many people continue to believe in the myths about the benefits of smoking that have been born for centuries. Therefore, once again, it is necessary to draw the attention of avid smokers and smokers to the existing tales of smoking and to say that smoking is a real harm and mythical benefit.
1. Attractive and fashionable
Myth: It is believed that if a man smokes a cigarette, it means that he is a real man, a fearless hero. Yes, and a woman with a cigarette - a lady, self-confident, beautiful and in everything ideal. Any of us saw commercials on TV and billboards, where they show a man with a cigarette, who performs some brave act, and in the interval, during the rest period, smoking a cigarette. Now there are a lot of stories from the movies, in which a well-groomed girl dressed in a brand evening dress is presented, with an expensive necklace on her neck and without fail with a long cigarette in her hand .... And after saying "do not light a cigarette for me?" are built with lighters in their hands. Think, can you really resist such a temptation and not smoke? After all, anyone dreams of being beautiful, promising and rich!
In fact : About what kind of attractiveness they say, when the smoking girl's teeth are yellow, and the unpleasant smell is always from the mouth? In addition, the skin itself on the hands, fingers, gets a yellowish brown hue. Still because of lack of oxygen, smoking promotes the formation of cellulite. Basically, all smokers have a problem - many clothes have burned holes from cigarette ash. What kind of neat form is it? All of the above applies to men. I want to say that in most cases, just insecure men start smoking.
2. Burn fats
Myth: Cigarette helps to lose weight, to become sketchy and slender. Smoking helps to dull the feeling of hunger, which allows you not to look again at food, sweets and other gastronomic temptations.
In fact : Look around, is it really only thin and slender smoke? A lot of fat people in the mouth with cigarettes, who have been smoking for more than one year, and not losing weight at the same time. Although you can often hear the phrase: "Once I quit smoking, I immediately recovered." Only such a process is not due to the influence of nicotine on the body. As a rule, smokers lose weight due to the negative impact of cigarettes on the gastrointestinal tract, exacerbations of gastritis and other diseases. Once a person gives up this habit, the body starts to work fully, a healthy appetite appears. So, the choice: figure and health, acquired with the help of a balanced diet, or smoking, unhealthy thinness and chronic illnesses?
3. Means for thinking
Myth : How many journalists around the world, writers and other "thinking" smokers! Perhaps, because they think that a cigarette can contribute to thinking? We immediately imagine a kind of looking for a man who is wise with interesting work, who decided to smoke and "oh, Idea! ...".
Actually : Reflect on what kind of thinking can be in a smoke-filled room? After all, the purer the air, the easier it is, as they say, "on a fresh head". There are still many scientific studies that prove the harmful effects of cigarettes on the thinking process. Vessels in smokers are clogged with calcium deposits much more than people who do not suffer from nicotine addiction, since smoking negatively affects blood circulation and, accordingly, the supply of the body, including brain oxygen. The conclusion is one: the intellectual potential of smokers is gradually decreasing.
Tatiana, 30 years old: "Many times I caught myself thinking that, having got into a stressful situation, I'm saving myself with a cigarette. At me nervous work, I the master on building. Gradually began to notice that on the contrary became angry and already "saved" not just one cigarette. "
4. No depression
Myth: When you experience, the best way to come to your senses is to smoke a cigarette. Slowly tightening, you forget about problems, you are disconnected from the real world. This is a kind of attitude at the level of consciousness or subconscious. But is it true?
In fact : The first 3 minutes a person smoking a cigarette calms down, but only this deceptive sensation. Like alcohol, nicotine kills useful substances, minerals and vitamins, including those that help strengthen the nervous system. Therefore, the further reaction of our body to the "anti-stress cigarette" - lethargy, frustration and even more irritability. The body begins to demand another dose of nicotine, even more nervous and nervous.
5. Without harm
Myth: Why be afraid that in comparison with the world's catastrophes - a "drop in the ocean." Actually, there is no problem either - quitting smoking.
In fact : There are two dangers: danger and hidden. Smoking is nothing less than an invisible enemy of our health. Yes, you can die from overeating, in an accident on the road, etc. For, for some reason, there is a warning on each cigarette pack in black and white, "DANGEROUS FOR HEALTH". Is it right to poison your own organism? Imagine if you were given food and told that it is poison, eating it daily, you will quickly die, would you start eating it? Probably, anyone will refuse.
