Kick it before it kills you- All girls must read it once.

 

It is disheartening to observe that some college and school-aged girls are addicted to cigarettes. The question arises as to why they are fostering this harmful conduct and from whom they are learning. In any case, they are endangering their own health as well as that of their future generation. Both men and women should not smoke cigarettes, but women should avoid them even more. Yes, women are lovely creatures of God, and God has given them more responsibility for this creation. Family members as well as patients also are delighted to see the lovely and smiling face of a girl; nevertheless, consider the implications for the family or society if that girl resembles a patient following the use of a cigarette or any other harmful substance.

Though smoking cigarettes is hazardous to both men and women, this is a small attempt to inform our young girls, who may be our sisters, daughters, or even any married women, about the harmful effects of smoking cigarettes to their health and the health of future generations.

Why Cigarettes are a Woman's Worst Enemy?

1. Cigarette Go to the Heart: Women who smoke are two to six times more likely to experience a heart attack than nonsmokers, according to the National Institutes of Health. One to four cigarettes a day can double your risk of heart disease, according to the ACOG. According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, women who smoke have twice the risk of having a heart attack after the age of 65.

2. Smoking Makes You Older : Smoking causes premature wrinkles compared to nonsmokers. Smoking accelerates menopause by one to two years, which is something that is frequently overlooked.  It believes that smoking cigarettes can also cause early osteoporosis because  multiple studies have shown that smoking significantly reduces bone mineral density.

3. Smoking Increases the Risk of Cervical and Rectal Cancer: Smoking Increases the risk of Cervical and Rectal Cancer. It causes a variety of cancers in both men and women but it puts women at higher risk of cervical cancer, some studies also reveals that premenopausal women who smoke are six times more likely to develop rectal cancer than those who do not.

4. Smoking Makes Monthly Period Worse: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) reports that women who smoke have 50% more cramps that last two or more days and more severe premenstrual symptoms.

5. Smoking Damages Fertility: Smoking impacts almost every aspect of conception. Smokers have a larger risk of not ovulating, and it is less possible that a fertilized egg would implant in the uterus. Smokers who obtain in vitro fertilization are less likely to be successful. It is shown that nicotine interferes with the function of the fallopian tube and can impede an egg from migrating normally to the uterus, which can lead to an ectopic or tubal pregnancy - potentially life-threatening disorders.

6. Smoking Hurts Your Unborn Baby: When mother smoke during pregnancy, she harm the foetus. Carbon monoxide has a stronger affinity for foetal tissue than for adult tissue, and when nicotine crosses the placenta, it speeds up the [baby's] heart rate.

7. Risk of miscarrying: Smoking increases a pregnant woman's risk of miscarrying by 39 percent and heightens the chances of other serious complications, including placental abruption (when the placenta separates from the uterine wall), placenta previa (when the placenta covers the opening of the uterus) and stillbirth.

8. Cause of baby's low birth weight: The breast milk of smokers can convey nicotine to a newborn baby. In a Journal of Paediatrics reported that children exposed to tobacco smoke are approximately three times more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome.

 Keep in mind that what you do sets an example for your daughter, sister, spouse, or any other girl in your life. Girls in high school and college now smoke at rates that are similar to those of boys. "Our mothers and grandmothers did not envision this type of equality for women."
