Cigarette Content

"Stop smoking Harmful chemical"- it a good slogan but I think it is too long. Although most people already knew that nicotine is the prime substance in a cigarette, few people only realize that nicotine is just a part of something really huge variety of harmful substance specially when a cigarettes are burned and smoked. Usually a smoking person does not even bother what they are into (from my own experience, I didn't care at first) or what they are inhaling. But in an age of internet domination every information is available to anyone. how about checking my dear friend google, as you would guess there are almost infinite information on this. Others are even hilarious in writing about cigarettes stuff (that's cool!), although quit smoking issue is a serious one, it never hurts to give it some humor maybe it will reach some people.

In a cigarettes it contains a dried tobacco, which is then mixed with a variety of chemical and ingredients. according to wikipedia it contains an unimaginable 4,000 chemicals (whey!) and that is enormously many and the best news it that some of that are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. Of course the content of this chemicals vary on the flavor and the brand of a cigarette.



I found this illustration for the purpose of easy viewing of the substance/chemical of a single cigarette, I decided to put this image on this blog for a reminder. If we quit smoking, we reduce chances that it will never enter our body that may cause health complication in the future.

Smoking video with scary narrator

Good day! I found this simple video on cigarette smoking, in which an experiment is done to show what could have gotten to our lungs after a single puff of smoke. The experiment uses a table napkin to view a possible outcome. Watching this kind of videos really makes you have a second thought on smoking.

The narrator of the video even spoke electronically, I think he damage his throat. I bet he is a heavy smoker who was force to quit smoking cigarette because of his severe condition. He warns every cigarette smoker to stop smoking. Just watch it! Hope this come through to all of our senses, and make the best decision before it it too late!



Quit Smoking -

Cigarette Smoking Instant Cure

Are you looking for an instant stop smoking scheme, I found one (LOL!).
Last night I saw an old film titled Constantine, it starred Keanu Reeves as a Paranormal psychic or whatever they call it. Anyway in this film he perform exorcism to people with devils inside them.

Aside from being a some sort of psychic, he is also a heavy smoker in this film and that he is in really bad shape because his doctors told him that he will die anytime soon because of the severed lung problem he got from smoking cigarettes (nothing's new!), but that did not urge him to quit smoking he even continue to smoke in front of the doctor (some bad ass!).
The main plot of the story is that Constantine is buying or hoping for consideration for his way to heaven by sending demons to hell, cause he is doomed to be in hell and that Lucifer itself will be the one to claim him once he died which will be sooner because of his cigarette smoking.



What makes me fond of this story is that Constantine did recover from his lung problem, Lucifer cured the wrist slashes and took off that dirt-like (some kind of a muddy oil) from his chest in an attempt to make him live (cause at that scenario he was about to go to heaven - self sacrifice made the heaven change their minds), He did it so that Constantine have to prove he's worthy of
going to heaven and also there is a chance that he will go to hell, where Lucifer wants to.



I like the end scene where you thought that he is about to light a cigarette but he chewed a gum instead, he has to die before he realize to take care of his health, fortunately he did stop smoking. Well, it is a good movie that might get you a second thought on cigarette smoking but I don't think that there will be a divine intervention when you're about to die in real life due to
cigarette smoking and it is late to realize. Our only chance is to think positive and stop smoking as soon as possible.

Smoking during Pregnancy

The scene of looking at a pregnant smoker is a nuisance to me, it gives a very wrong impression to other people (young and adults) of being careless and selfish (not that they doesn't share their cigarettes but their sharing it the wrong way). Well I'm not sure, but I think having that kind of situation (being pregnant) gives some, if not, enough motivation to stop smoking (life is at stake!), or at least for the pregnancy period (I don't know if that is possible).

Considering it gives health problem to adults what more to an unborn baby. I'm not a doctor but it is pretty obvious that the unborn child will likely to get oxygen, blood and other nutrients from his mother's intake and with cigarette smoking, you'll also pass the harmful chemicals such as nicotine and etc., that eventually you'll also deal later (who else!). For pregnant smokers kindly give it a thought and some consideration, to protect the health of your baby and you. Don't take the risk!

I've took some notes on some harmful effect that smoking cigarette during pregnancy can incur:

• Miscarriage
• Harmful chemical pass to unborn baby is cancerous
• Congenital defects in the baby - such as cleft palate
• The born baby has a high possibility of having health and development problem (both physical and mental)
• The risk of Stillbirth or death within the first week of life
  

Hope this helps/warns pregnant smoker on making up their mind. Quit Smoking!

To our Great Mothers

Last Sunday was a celebrated day to all mothers, it is a great way to recognize them. It is called Mother's Day. We all may have different mothers but one thing for sure they really do care a lot to all their sons and daughters, in all their different ways. I don't live with my parents, I do have a family now and we celebrate it (my wife and son) by going out. We strolled on a Mall, while greeting our parents on the celebrated day through our cellphone. Good thing there's a cellphone they have become a necessary device rather than just a necessity. I've refrain smoking on the mall cause it is not allowed and I was busy sight-seeing, these are the times when I get to limit my nicotine intake (good for me!).

I remember the first time my Mother saw me smoking a cigarette, although I did smoke some during college days but it was when I am already working that she get to formally saw me ( it was intentional, see MoM I'm a grown up, LOL!). My mother was not infuriated by that, I think because my father also smoke cigarettes-once a chain smoker but already quit, age and health almost caught up on him, but she's kinda disappointed, she just made a tiger look on Dad as if saying "it must be your fault". But you know mothers they can really get to your skin, every time we met (that is on occasions only), there would be a non-stop motherly advice on quitting to smoke, and some scary stories that she would always brought up related to cigarette smoking, you know what they say "Mother's knows best!".

Listening to our mothers is not always a nag, I remember my father saying that you'll fully understand when you grow up. Yes, I understand now, the need of a mother that we normally take for granted, they are the person that will really come running when we are in trouble on whatever age you are, I really Love my Mother. I did make her proud, I graduated from college and now working and living on my own. I think I would make her prouder if I could just show her that I've stop smoking, that would really put a smile on my Family and to my MOM.
