Why people end up cancer especially a lung cancer? Many might asked why? and would be the predisposing factor so on and so forth. People fun to puff or just simply term it to " nebulize" themselves. Is there any alternative way instead of using it to prevent lung cancer? Tell me more...

i smoke and i will be the first to admit that it is a habit that i wish i never would have picked up. now that i have it is very hard to quit i have tried many many times. i am not so sure that i can say that the smoking kills people i know that people that smoke get lung cancer but i also know people who have gotten lung cancer who have not touched a cig or lived in a house where someone else smoked so in all honesty it can happen to anyone. also i have realized that when they say it is bad for your health yes that is very true but i have also found people who were in perfect health while they were smoking but got very very sick when they stopped. now some people would say they were already sick and it just was a coincidence that it happened when they stopped but others think that because they stopped they got sick. that is something that is hard to prove but that is my insight on this. what do you think?

Hellow, good day yeah it's true to hard to stopped when it becomes a habit. Even if you gonna say it again and again to stop smoking but your mind sometimes bring the burning want to smoke. Based on the research, that I've heard one of the alternative way to stop smoking gradually is to get a one glass of water place a straw inside and sip it when you have the urge to smoke. And other people eat candies but I'm not so sure if these all workout. Stopping immediately is not good as what study says because it will just complicate more. Just do it gradually as what they said " slowly but surely" But it depends on the people who is willing to do it. And not only to the smokers, a great possibility happen when a non smoker get exposed with the smoke. The reason why is that non smoker directly smell the smoke than smoker.

If you smoke for a long time, chances are that you are going to get lung cancer. If you live with someone who has smoked a long time, chances you will have lung damage, if not cancer because of second hand smoke. Smoking is dangerous to the health and can lead to cancer, emphasema, and many other complications.
