			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Smoking of cigars mainly causes lung cancer and breathing trouble. Additionally there are many other chronic disorders are also caused by smoking. Smoking is the main threat factor for kidney failure and coronary heart disease along with cholesterol, increased blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. Smoking causes reduced oxygen flow to the heart and thus causes heavy damage to it. Both the heart rate and blood pressure gets increased and that is injurious to heart. Many of the hazardous substances are present in cigars like hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, tar and mainly nicotine. In reality, several other poisonous constituents of many levels of toxicity are also contained.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The arteries are affected in a major way when we get addicted to the Nicotine. Due to this Nicotine, the heart beat increases, hypertension take place and arteries become stiff. The carbon monoxide stops the oxygen that is to be supplied to the heart. Blood clotting and blockage is increased. When considering coronary artery, the carriage of oxygen-rich blood to the heart gets reduced to the narrowing of the arteries. This nervous tension leads to a chest pain or angina pectoris.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Leaving out the long-term bad effects, smoking of cigars will have an effect on the body as soon as you start smoking because of the hazardous components. Arsenic being a rat poison, methane being a fuel of rocket, ammonia being used for cleaning floors, cadmium being used in batteries, carbon monoxide being a part of car exhaust and hydrogen cyanide is a poison used in gas chambers. Every time you inhale the smoke from cigar, all these deadly components goes inside in small quantity. But, these small quantities are enough to spoil your well being.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Smoking habit makes a person smell bad, spoils the teeth, makes the skin to wrinkle and eventually induces bad breath. Cavities are present 3 times larger than in smokers compared to the non-smokers. Smoking reduces the hormone quantity. They easily get subjected to pneumonia and bronchitis. They fall ill very often. Every occasion they inhale smoke from cigar, several air sacks in the lungs gets damaged. This hinder activities like sports or singing where normal breathing is essential.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The hair like arrangement called cilia lining the lungs gets paralyzed due to smoking and thus making them not able to sweep out dust elements, smoke and pollens on the lungs. Because of which these elements gets stayed in the lungs everlasting and forms as a tar. Cigars are as worse as heroin or cocaine. The dangerous elements of nicotine make the smoker feel good while smoking. This raises the possibility of emphysema or lung cancer and finally making the body to be sick for a long, long time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fatty components get deposited on the blood and thus straining the heart, whenever you smoke the cigars. The threat of a heart disease and atherosclerosis gets increased cause of this. The disease that is caused due to the fatty components like cholesterol, cellular waste, calcium etc being settled on the lining of arteries of a human body is called as Atherosclerosis. Due to smoking LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol increases and decreases respectively. Increases in Triglycerides influence the cholesterol levels harmfully.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The disadvantages caused to health due to smoking are thoroughly documented, but latest results indicate that the dangers for pregnant women may be even more far dangerous than what was believed earlier. Scientists have said that the grandchildren of women who smoked when being pregnant may be up to double the danger of developing adolescence asthma compared to grandchildren of women whose pregnancies were smoke-free.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Frank D. Gilliland of the University of Southern   California led researches and analyzed information gathered as a part of the advancing USC Children&#8217;s Health Study. Parents of 908 school students were interviewed and found 338 school students had asthma at the age five.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If together the mother and grandmother smoked at the time pregnancy, the disaster added to 2.6 times that of accouchement of non-smokers. Best astonishing, similar back a mother had not smoke while she was profuse her juvenile had about bi fold the disaster of embryonic asthma as a juvenile from a smoke-free house if her mother had smoked at the time of pregnancy. This is the indigenous concept to actualization that if a lady smokes while she is with child, both her accouchement and grandchildren may be extra suitable to accept asthma as an effect</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Supplementary study is exposed to avow the commencement Tran generational findings, the scientists say. For now, Gilliland describes, he and his colleague’s come up with that the mishap that happens have an effect on the child&#8217;s endorsed pact and increases her defencelessness to asthma, which is anew anesthetized bottom ward to her child.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people are aware that smoking is addictive, meaning when someone attempts to quit smoking they experience physical withdrawal sensations that can be deeply unpleasant. However, it is not actually the smoke itself that is addictive, but rather a chemical contained within: namely, nicotine. It is nicotine that smokers are addicted to, and it is nicotine withdrawal that makes quitting smoking so unpleasant.</p>
<p>To try and combat the difficulties of nicotine withdrawal, smokers are now offered a choice of nicotine replacement therapies. These therapies &#8211; referred to as NRTs, for &#8216;nicotine replacement therapy&#8217; &#8211; are designed to give smokers a more realistic chance of quitting the habit, by replacing their nicotine &#8216;fix&#8217; usually found in a cigarette with a less harmful way of ingesting nicotine. This can come in the form of slow-release patches that are applied to the skin, from inhaling nasal sprays or from chewing gum.</p>
<p>The theory is that if a smoker attempts to quit nicotine &#8216;cold turkey&#8217; &#8211; i.e. ceasing to ingest it completely &#8211; they are less likely to succeed in their attempts to stop smoking. As the withdrawal from nicotine can be unpleasant, the idea is that by gradually reducing the amount of nicotine someone ingests rather than stopping it altogether allows people to gradually wean themselves off their reliance on this addictive chemical.</p>
<p>It would seem that it is effective. Studies have shown that smokers are up to three times more likely to quit if they use a form of NRT in the weeks after they stop smoking, so give it due consideration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years, smokers groups have complained about one thing in their singular voice: the continued raid on cigarette duty by successive governments, which has almost doubled the cost of a packet of cigarettes over the past 20 years. With every new budget that is announced, a few cents or pennies are customarily added on to the already well-burdened smoker, and the smokers rights groups protest again.</p>
<p>In reality, governments have nothing to fear from taxing cigarettes at astronomically high levels. Smoking is bad for health; the health of smokers, through direct contact, and for non-smokers who may become victims of passive smoking. Therefore, if a government adds extra taxation on to cigarette duty, they can claim it is in the public interest &#8211; that by making cigarettes more expensive, smokers may be more likely to quit. It&#8217;s one tax that no one can argue with on the grounds of health and protecting the public as a whole; smokers rights don&#8217;t come in to it.</p>
<p>It is therefore pointless to argue. If you, like many smokers, feel trepidation at the announcement of a new budget and have steadily watched the cost of smoking increase several-fold over your lifetime &#8211; accept it. You really have no other option. In the United Kingdom, tobacco taxation brings the government treasury nearly £9 billion per year &#8211; and they&#8217;re not going to stop now. With the health argument on their side, no government is going to be the ones to make it easier and cheaper to smoke; so if you want to carry on smoking, accept that higher and higher taxation is a certainty you cannot avoid.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the cycle of a smoker&#8217;s life, they will usually have more than one attempt at quitting. Only a small percentage &#8211; sometimes given as low as 15% &#8211; of smokers actually manage to kick the habit on their first attempt, and the norm is three to five attempts before finally managing to banish the demon cigarettes.</p>
<p>To some, knowing the difficulty involved in quitting smoking, there is the natural conclusion that to prepare yourself you should cut down on the number of cigarettes you consume. So let&#8217;s be clear: cutting back on cigarettes does not work, does not have any particular health benefits and could actually decrease your chances of quitting altogether in the future. Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>- You&#8217;re battling for little reward.</p>
<p>When you cut back, you will experience some of the withdrawal symptoms involved in quitting smoking. If you&#8217;re going to be going through withdrawal, what&#8217;s the point of stringing the process out? Quit altogether first, and you only have to go through it once, rather than twice; when you &#8216;cut back&#8217; and when you stop altogether.</p>
<p>- If you find cutting back unpleasant because of the withdrawal, you&#8217;re less likely to be willing to quit altogether.</p>
<p>Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. If you know how unpleasant withdrawal can feel, you&#8217;re going to be less likely to quit altogether and go through that withdrawal all over again.</p>
<p>- You&#8217;re not improving your health.</p>
<p>Smoking at all is damaging to health, so for as long as you continue to smoke on a daily basis, your health is going to suffer &#8211; no matter how many cigarettes you smoke.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Giving advice to smokers on how best to smoke is something of an odd proposition, but it&#8217;s advice that could save lives. We all know the health and financial implications of smoking as a habit, and most non-smokers would prefer to see the habit removed from existence altogether, but the fact remains: people smoke. Therefore it is only sensible to offer advice to smokers in the hope that, while they are smoking, they are doing as little damage as possible to their health.</p>
<p>The absolute key issue of so-called &#8217;safe smoking&#8217; (a juxtaposition in itself) is filters. In America, filters tend to be white to match the color of the cigarette tube itself &#8211; while in the UK and European, filters are usually orange. These sponge-like bits of kit are used to inhale tobacco through, and are essential to minimizing the already considerable risk of a smoking related illness.</p>
<p>Filters help to cut out the levels of the toxic chemicals that are contained in cigarette smoke. They can&#8217;t remove them entirely, but an effective filter can at least lessen the impact.</p>
<p>This becomes an issue if you prefer to self-roll your cigarettes. It is possible to buy filters, which you can insert in to a cigarette paper as you roll it, but these usually make cigarette rolling machines difficult to use. It may be more time consuming, but in terms of your health it is best to hand-roll cigarette papers and tobacco so you can insert a filter in to device yourself. In the long run, ignoring filters altogether will cost you more than a few extra minutes per cigarette.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The vast majority of smokers are well aware of the possible health implications of their habit. That might be difficult to understand &#8211; why would someone knowingly cause harm to themselves? &#8211; but it&#8217;s fairly difficult to be blind to the health risks of smoking. With anti-smoking messages now appearing on cigarette packaging and a continued drive by governments and states to cut down the number of smokers, being unaware is unlikely.</p>
<p>However, one issue that tends to get ignored is that of passive smoking. There is an unfortunate truth in that smoking not only affects the smoker themselves, but anyone they may be near when they smoke. Even if you are a non-smoker, if you live or regularly socialize with a smoker who smokes in your presence, then you could be at risk of smoking-related illnesses as well. As the smoke is expelled from the cigarette and smoker, if a non-smoker is nearby they cannot help but also inhale some of the substance.</p>
<p>No one is entirely sure of the effects of passive smoking, as many cigarette-related illnesses can manifest for a variety of reasons &#8211; there is no &#8220;you only get this if you smoke&#8221; illness. However, the statistics indicate that passive smoking is a very real threat, with non-smokers who regularly spend time around cigarette smoke up to 50% more likely to get a smoking-related illnesses than a non-smoker who does not socialize with smokers.</p>
<p>If you live with someone who smokes, to avoid this it is best to try and ask them to smoke outside. If that isn&#8217;t possible, compromise on them smoking near a window, and ventilate the house often by opening all windows.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For nearly a decade now, various states across America as well as numerous European countries have introduced what is referred to as a &#8220;smoking ban&#8221;. Here&#8217;s everything you need to know about these bans:</p>
<p>- What is a smoking ban? Are people just not allowed to smoke at all?</p>
<p>That&#8217;s not quite the case. A proper name for these bans would be &#8220;smoking in public places ban&#8221; &#8211; but that&#8217;s a little wordy! Most of the bans in American states and various countries around the world prevent smoking in public places. A public place is usually defined as somewhere like a bar, restaurant or office workspace. If a ban is in place in a particular area, smoking inside these buildings is prohibited.</p>
<p>- Is it any type of smoking?</p>
<p>Yes, all smoking &#8211; filter cigarettes, pipes, rolled cigarettes &#8211; is banned.</p>
<p>- Why do these bans exist?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a health concern, primarily the concern raised about passive smoking. The theory is that non-smokers can still suffer from smoking-related illnesses, such as cancer, if they regularly breathe second-hand smoke in. The ban is to protect the public health.</p>
<p>- Does these bans infringe on a smokers civil liberties?</p>
<p>This is still a question of debate, but there has been no significant legal challenge on a human rights level to provide a precedent. If such a case were winnable, smokers rights groups would probably have challenged the bans in court by now.</p>
<p>- What happens if I smoke inside a building where a ban is in place?</p>
<p>It depends on the state or country you are in. Penalties range from an on-the-spot fine right through to arrest, and the establishment you smoke in will also be punished.</p>
