The nutrition value :

All diseases you may imagine with a fatal effect , and what's more !? .

What are the diseases which struck the smokers more than others

Its clear on the illustration that smoking affects all organs and limbs of the human body, with different levels of affection,  some of these diseases  are:

1-      Lung cancer.

2-      Emphysema, and bronchitis.   

3-      Heart diseases.

4-   Mouth and teeth diseases

There are so many studies , which proved that the probability of  smokers struck by diseases increases from one to ten folds than the non-smoking persons , due to the affection kind , see the table :

• The running way

 We do already know that quitting smoking is not easy , because smoking causes organic and psychic addiction , but so many people could quit because they do have the real will to do , also so many people are afraid of quitting suddenly .

In fact no harm should be expected of a sudden quitting of smoking , as on the contrary many do suddenly quit motivated by their strong determination .

In this way .

To help those afraid from the sudden quitting , we  advise the following program :

1-      Take decision to give up smoking on a certain day ( Target day ) which will be  in about  3 - 4 weeks since start thinking quit smoking .

2-      Talking to relatives about the will , and determination to quit smoking , to enable them help , and consider the circumstances one would pass .

3-      During a period of 3 – 4  weeks , one should not smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day

4-      Follow some instructions to resist the desire to smoke :

·        Delay : When one would need to smoke a cigarette , he should convince himself to wait more , for half an hour  , or an hour before smoking it , this delay often reduces the desire gradually , and helps one to get over it .

·        Quitting : One should stop going to the places which urge him to smoke , also not being in certain situations , which evoke the desire of smoking , such as cafes , and clubs where he used to meet other smokers , this behavior may temporarily last for about a month , which is enough to help one endure and quit .

·        Escape : which means to avoid any kind of situation , that may impel the strong desire to smoke , further more one should escape these situations whenever they occur , and also escape the places where one just feels like to smoke , all to help oneself to get over it .

·        Have substitutions : One should participate in activities , and perform hoppies , in order to keep oneself from even thinking of tobacco , such as sport performance for some time , and not to miss opportunities such as this international marathon , on the other hand one should strengthen his social relations and intense his visits to relatives , as those substitutions will help very much forget about smoking .

And economically : the description is unlimited , as you would reduce the obligations of your family in order to buy the harmful and fatal blight to yourself as well as to them , thus you may become sunk in debts for such a disgraceful enjoyment , while if you thought of buying a useful thing on credit , or make a donation for charity , you will feel the difference deep in yourself , regarding that those disgraces are other than the expanses of the clinics you would visit , and the medicines , which you will take in vain , as long as you are a smoker . So what do you think of this way ?

As the smoker may had passed so many failures to quit , but one got not to surrender to despair , but should try again and again , using the advantages of past failures . We assure you that your experience with us , to quit smoking will offer you the advantage of group work , especially when you show others the way , and urge them to follow up , the task which would occupy your mind thinking about the way to convince them quit this bad habit , hence it will make you feel how mean the tobacco you smoke is , and how great is what you are doing for your society’s health and environment cleanliness .
