As we have already said there are many,many benefits of quitting cigarettes and all of them are for the benefit of our health. Two very good reasons, that are sort of linked, are quitting cigarettes while pregnant to prevent harming babies health. The most damaging effects of cigarette smoke during pregnancy happen in the months four to nine, so if you quit cigarettes during the first three months then babies weight is likely to be normal.  Calendar to show how baby’s development should be at different stages of the pregnancy.

Quit cigarettes now.

Other health risks for baby are:-

1. Slower growth rate

2. Higher chance of cot death

3. Damage to airways which could lead to breathing problems or even asthma.

The second reason is for the potential dads amongst you who hope one day to father healthy offspring. Tobacco smoke affects fertility levels and can increase the risk of impotence, it is estimated that over 100,000 men in their 30’s to 40’s are impotent as a direct result of their tobacco addiction. Now for those of you that are hoping to start a family in the near future there are two good incentives to help you to quit cigarettes, and I do believe that one of the best ways to break the addiction is to have an incentive or a goal to aim for, there is no easy way to give up tobacco craving.

One of the biggest things to spur you on to kick the habit for good is to be told that your symptoms are directly as a result of cigarette smoke, something I have personally experienced, and from that day on I have not touched another cigarette ,but unfortunately this will not do anything to improve my condition as it is irreversible and the damage to the arteries in my legs cannot be undone. I actually didn’t believe what I was told at first because Doctors never miss the chance to tell you cigarette are bad.

On my way home I kept thinking about what the doctor had told me and started to wonder if should do something about it. I actually went back to my GP and asked him if he was serious when he said that if I carried on with my 20 a day that I was getting through I would eventually loose one if not both my legs due to gangrene, that was in 2004 and I quit there and then, and haven’t touched a cigarette since.

Most health services provide support to those trying to give up cigarettes, both moral support and also medical support by prescribing either Zyban or Champix (Varenicline) to get over initial cravings. There are a number of  products to give you help  in giving up cigarettes:-

1. Nicotine gum

2. Nicotine patches

3. Micro tabs

4. Lozenges

5. Inhalator’s

6. Nasal sprays

There are even some Alternative Medicine methods such as, Hypnosis, and Acupuncture that have varying degrees of success.

To conclude then, even with all the support and incentives in the world for you to quit cigarettes. The way to give up the habit is for you to want it badly enough to get you through the tough times at the beginning and the resolve to stay smoke free. This is somewhat easier than it used to be because of all the new restrictions on where cigarettes can be smoked that are  now in force, but you will Always need The Will Power to succeed.
