Tobacco Use and Reproductive Outcomes if a woman Smokes

March 10th, 2010

Women who smoke have increased menstrual and reproductive risks. These risks are caused due to nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, cyanide, and several other chemicals, carcinogens present in the cigarette smoke. When a woman smokes, she exposes these chemicals to the fetus and this increases the chance of miscarriage, abortion.

Despite the harmful effects of smoking on reproductive health, about 22% women continue to smoke, putting themselves and their baby at risk. But the good news is that by stopping smoking before and during pregnancy, women can greatly reduce the health risks associated with cigarette smoking.

Tobacco Use and Reproductive Outcomes in Women
Here are consequences of smoking on reproductive health of women:

Delayed Conception/Infertility : A woman who smokes and plans a pregnancy has a risk of delayed conception when compared to a nonsmoking woman. Smoking decreases the probability of being pregnant to about one-third per cycle. Several studies have also showed that smoking women have infertility problems.

Low-birth weight of the baby : Babies of women who smoke have low-birth weight when compared to the babies of non-smoking women. Low birth weight is very dangerous for the baby as it can cause neonatal morbidity and mortality. A smoking woman’s baby’s deficit in birth weight is about 5% on an average.

Ectopic Pregnancy : Smoking increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy, in which the fertilized tissue is implanted outside the womb. Ectopic pregnancy puts the life of mother at risk and endangers subsequent fertility. The risk of ectopic pregnancy is double in woman who smokes when compared to nonsmoking woman.

Premature rupture of membranes : Smoking women are at risk of premature rupture of membranes i.e. Abruptio placentae (separation of placenta from uterus) and Placental previa (the placenta is abnormally located, which may result in hemorrhaging during delivery. Due to premature rupture of membranes, the woman has a risk of carrying the baby for shorter time period than the normal gestational period.

Placenta Previa: The risk of placenta Previa, a condition in which the placenta is prematurely separated from the uterus wall, is high in smoking women. This condition can result in stillbirth, or early infant death.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): Babies of women who smoke have a high risk of SIDS and this risk is higher if the infant is exposed to postnatal smoking. Along with this, smoking women have high risks of stillbirths, neonatal deaths and prenatal mortality.

All the above reproductive health risks are in addition to other health problems such as cancer, pulmonary disease, cardiovascular diseases etc. In view of the several health risks, it is very important for a woman to stop smoking. The good news is that when women stop smoking in the first trimester, the reproductive health risks are greatly reduced.

The fact that pregnancy is a strong motivator for quitting smoking should encourage women to take up quit smoking programs. According to studies, women who quit smoking during pregnancy do not smoke even one year after delivery.

Quitting smoking not only ensures the baby’s health, but it also improves the health and extends the life of women. Hence, women should put in their complete efforts to quit smoking for a better future and a healthy family.

Top 5 Reasons to Quit Smoking Tobacco Cigarettes

March 10th, 2010

Cancer

Smokers are much more likely to develop some form of cancer than non-smokers.  Ninety percent of lung cancer cases are caused by smoking.  Smoking tobacco cigarettes can cause all sorts of cancers including mouth, stomach, oesophageal, bladder, kidney and pancreas cancer.  At least half of smokers are eventually killed by their habit!

Lower Life Expectancy

Prepare to be shocked by this one.  Smokers have an average life expectancy 10 years lower than non-smokers.  10 years!  Life is short enough as it is.  If this doesn’t make you seriously think twice, thrice and ten times about quitting smoking, we need to talk!

Emphysema

Emphysema is a chronic irreversible lung disease, primarily caused by tobacco smoking, which gradually destroys the lungs and is one of the most common causes of death from respiratory disease.  In emphysema, the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs become over-stretched, destroying the elasticity of fibers that open and close the air sacs during breathing.  This results in the smoker having difficulty breathing normally, shortness of breath, difficulty exhaling and wheezing.


Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death and illness in the UK.  If you smoke, you have a higher risk of developing a blood clot leading to a heart attack.  In fact, the majority of people who have a heart attack before the age of 50 are smokers.  Smoking damages the lining of your arteries, leading to a build up of fatty material and a reduced blood flow.  The carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke reduces the amount of oxygen that the blood can carry to your heart and body.


Bronchitis

Smoking causes Bronchitis.  Bronchitis is an inflammation, or irritation of the air passages in the lungs. These airways are called the bronchial tubes, or the bronchi. When these bronchial tubes are irritated by chemicals released from tobacco smoke, thick mucus is formed in them. The mucus clogs up the air passages and obstructs the passage of air into the lungs. This causes bronchitis and can lead to chronic bronchitis.  Symptoms of bronchitis include chronic coughing, breathlessness and tightness and pain in the chest.

Tips for Quitting Smoking Quit Smoking Tobacco

March 10th, 2010

Try to make a perfect plan for quitting smoking cigarettes and choose a quitting date. Do consult to your doctor before making one such plan, most doctors recommend you to take an antidepressants medicine for two weeks before quitting. Share your plan to everyone you know and try to tell them that you are going to quit and on what day. This action will make your will power stronger and also encourage you to keep your word. Therefore, it is recommended that, try to gather as much support as you can. Try to convince your spouse or partner or a friend to quit with you, by joining a support group online or find someone in your area.
Nobody smokes because they think it’s good for them. Starting this is not a decision made at a rational level. It’s a decision made at an emotional level. However, maintaining a habit is more often than not a subconscious process. For this very reason quitting smoking is a process which is most easily achieved by using hypnosis a method that accesses the subconscious directly. Like many hypnotists I’ve been helping people quit this for years. Personally I smoked 30 a day until I quit, so I know exactly what it’s about. I also know a few other things.
Many smokers realize the need to quit smoking. However, they often stop at one question. How to do it? There are many right ways, which help to stop from this. It needs proper planning and right attitude on the part of smoker, who wishes to stop this. You should keep in mind some basic things before they start this treatment. The treatment may take very long time if smokers do not implement right strategies. The key challenges include making a firm decision about quitting this habit, setting a fixed date, following a plan, dealing with withdrawal symptoms, and staying smoke free.
Firstly, it’s pointless replacing cigarette smoking with a gum, patch or other source of nicotine. An addiction is an addiction, regardless of the source. If you are going to deal with the addiction you have to take it with courage and deal with it head on. While some addictions are best handled with a weaning process, cigarettes are not in this category.
Secondly, ending this habit is more likely to be successful when you put everything possible in place to succeed. This means a high protein diet, a full breakfast and an exercise regime that is simple, with achievable goals that can be maintained for at least two weeks after smoking ceases. If it happens to be maintained longer, even better.
Visualizing yourself living tobacco free, seeing yourself without that first cigarette of the day, and seeing yourself enjoying a quiet drink on your deck, free of any tobacco products, is a positive and affirming process. Establishing an expectation of success, and establishing control over all possible conditions that can help achieve your goal bring you closer.
Finally, hypnosis to assure a motivated approach to end this habit, and remove the original triggers of this habit. This is key, as stopping yourself restarting’ smoking is the final challenge, and the one most people struggle most with.

Electronic Cigarette Versus Regular Tobacco Cigarettes Part 3 – How Cheap?

March 10th, 2010

How Cheap are electronic cigarettes?

Smoking cigarettes isn’t cheap and because they are deemed and indeed proven to be harmful to health, cigarettes are an obvious target for price increases and over the last few years the cost for a smoker has risen dramatically. What about the new electronic cigarette that everyone is talking about? How do they hold in terms of price, against standard cigarettes?

Pretty well it would seem! Manufacturers and especially some distributors claim that smoking electronic cigarettes is significantly more afforadable than smoking tobacco cigarettes.  Some estimate that it could be as much as 80% cheaper to be an e cig smoker. There is no doubt about it, if that is true, then it is a massive saving and leaves the tobacco industry more than a little embarrassed.

One such online electronic cigarette distributor has an e cig price comparison graph that works out how much it would cost to smoke regular cigarettes as opposted to their product. They calculate that if you are a smoker who smokes forty a day, then you could save as much three and a half thousand pounds by switching to the e cigarette.

If any of these statisitics are to be believed then once more the electronic cigarette claims a significant victory over the tobacco industry. Regardless of the swirl of media coverage and controversy that plagues any new product, in an isolated one on one battle with regular cigarettes the case is becoming compelling. Score? Electronic Cigarette, three – Tobacco Cigarette, Zero.

Smokeless Cigarettes Vs Tobacco, Where’s the Savings?

March 10th, 2010

Tobacco cigarette prices are on the rise and many feel the crunch of this recession, it’s no wonder so many smokers are turning to smokeless cigarettes. A cost-effective option for many reasons and even though many opponents are trying to discredit its effectiveness, we will look at some facts and let you the smoker form your own opinion and decide on what is cheaper. It’s seems obvious that these electronic cigarettes are a much safer and healthier solution but it may premature to make it official.

Before we start, let’s look into some of the information and rumors. There are a number of spurious claims boasted by industry insiders about the unknowns, but experts who are not clamming to the big daddy cigarette industry agree that the risk posed by small traces of chemicals in smokeless cigarette vapor is small, and is much likely less than that of consuming many FDA approved products. Even with the same products containing the exact chemicals the FDA will make it painful for the smokeless cigarette industry to gain credit without first paying its dues.

Ok so let’s take a look to see if this is really an economical choice, we think the proof is there, but smokeless cigarettes are also crafty in the technology presented. Nicotine patches and gums (also more expensive than smokeless cigarettes) are considered nicotine delivery devices but in ways that don’t recreate the same habitual act associated with smoking. People who buy these aids sometimes miss the routines of smoking more than the nicotine. Smokeless cigarettes, which visually resemble a standard cigarette, deliver nicotine through a vapor which is inhaled much like smoke but without many of the drawbacks or the negative effects or smell of standard cigarettes. Additionally, the smokeless electronic cigarette has the hand to mouth effect that smokes are so used to in their habits. This leads to our conclusion that smokeless cigarettes can be an economical choice as well as a mentally sound and socially approved choice.

But the money saved with smokeless cigarettes can be considerable so let’s take a look at some of the cost details. As of August 2009 the average price of a pack of cigarettes was $7.82 up from $2.92 just ten years ago. The average smoker smokes by low estimates smokes 15 cigarettes per day which amounts to $2138.90 per year. Wow, big tobacco is BIG…On average a smokeless cigarette filter is equivalent to 10 cigarettes so that would be 1.5 filters per day on average at a price of $1.59 per filter x 1.5 equals $2.38 which equals $870.00 per year. The doesn’t count in to effect that the average smokeless cigarette will last approximately six months so we will need to add another $59.00 x 2 for a total of $988.00. Now, this does not take into effect that the concept behind the smokeless cigarette is to lean off of smoking and vaporizing all together so there must be some kind of factor there but lets not dig that far just yet.

So there it is, we have given you some facts for you to use in making some sense out of the questions leading you to ponder if it is really right for you…As a fifteen year former smoker who has had great success with the smokeless cigarette and is off of tobacco cigarettes all together, I can say that it has been the right choice for me and the only options of the many I have attempted through the years. Give it a shot, if you are currently a tobacco smoker what is the worst that can happen by trying the smokeless cigarettes when you are removing tar, carcinogens, and hundreds of chemicals from your body?

Electronic Cigarette Versus Regular Tobacco Cigarettes Part Two – Cartridges

March 9th, 2010

The Nicotine Factor

An electronic cigarette has a cartridge based operation system. When you buy an electronic cigarette, you have to decide which cartridges you would like to use. The cartridge is where the nicotine is stored and comes in variable strengths, including strong, light and if you wish, zero nicotine.

Sure, you can buy tobacco cigarettes in varying strengths but you are still getting all the toxins from the tobacco itself. An e cig contains no tobacco, so when you are choosing your cartridge strength, it really is a matter of just the nicotine.

So, theoretically, a smoker could use the varying strengths in the nicotine cartridges to gradually reduce the amount of nicotine intake. This may offer a great oppurtunity to actually have a go at quitting smoking altogether whilst continuing with the physical, habitual motions of the addiction. Is it possible, that this may be a much less stressful way of trying to quit?

Some smokers, just want to be able to continue the physical habits of smoking, such as holding a cigarette and the oral fixation of having a cigarette in the mouth. All this is possible with the e cig and as we have seen above, it could be a much healthier alternative to smoking regular cigarettes.

Thanks to the electronic cigarette cartridges, it appears the that e cig has just won another round over its tobacco conterpart, although there are several rounds remaining for a fightback! The score so far? Electronic Cigarette, two – Tobacco Cigarette, zero. Tune in for the next episode soon!
