Consequences of Smoking
After my many years in practice, I have seen and heard just about everything that can happen, health-wise, to smokers and have listened to them as they would describe their symptoms to me.
The human body can protect itself and eventually recover from many severe and emotional problems relating to smoking.
However, after about 20 years, the body begins to lose the ability to do this and to defend itself against the dangerous chemicals that suppress the immune system.
The immune system is the first line of defence against these terrible infections and diseases, and without this ability to defend itself, the consequences of smoking is open for very catastrophic illnesses.
Below is a table of what can happen to the body over 20 years
| Number of years smoking | Impact on you |
| 0 | Bad breath Clothes smell Stained fingers Stained teeth |
| 5 | Smokers cough Lack of energy Poor circulation Numbness |
| 10 | Sinus problems Raspy voice Headaches Sleep problems |
| 15 | Constant cough Allergies Advanced ageing of the skin Diminished libido |
| 20 | Diminished concentration High blood pressure Severe circulation problems Heart attack Sexual dysfunction Emphysema Confusion Loss of memory Cancers: Oral Tongue Oesophagus Lungs Stomach Intestinal Spleen Liver Colon Depression Osteoporosis Alzheimer's disease Stroke |
| Finally | DEATH |
STOP NOW WHILE YOU HAVE TIME.
