What do you prefer: lung cancer or joint pain?
In today's society, smoking has become a main cause of lung cancer deaths and many other painful diseases. There's no doubt of the negative effect that tobacco has on the human body. However, many people still aren't conscious of its killing force.
There are no families that do not have at least two members that died because of lung cancer or high blood pressure or other cancer type. Smoking always acts slowly, but fatally. There's no doubt that smoking kills: not now when you had ten cigarettes a day for the first time and you don't care whether you'll dye or not because of it; it will put an end to your life when you will have kids to bring back from school or high school or nephews to play with.
What makes smoking so dramatically is that most of the smokers thing that they can easily give up to this habit, but they're wrong. Quitting smoking it isn't easy, but still possible.
A more mild effect that smoking is believed to have is to cause rheumatoid arthritis. Usually, a person that is diagnosed to have this autoimmune disease have the following symptoms: joint pain, tissue inflammation around the joints, and stiffness. These rheumatoid arthritis symptoms are known to be progressive and destroy the body's functionality, mobility.
Doctors did not found an exact cause of the rheumatoid arthritis, it might be inherited or caused of bacteria, but they all agree that smoking tobacco will always increase the risks of having rheumatoid arthritis.
Very slowly like in the case of rheumatoid arthritis or faster like in the case of lunge cancer, smoking does nothing but destroying the organism. Studies show that one in two lifetime smokers will die because of it and most probably at middle age.
The results of researches made by prestigious doctors showed at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Scientific Meeting in 2000 pointed out that smokers are two times in higher risks to get rheumatoid arthritis than non-smokers. While non-smoker men are three times less probable to have rheumatoid arthritis, men that smoke are in comparison to non-smoking women two times more probable to be positive to this disease.
Smoking is a very serious problem that needs to be taken into consideration because its effects are sometimes irreparable and wanting to fix this problem after you have been diagnosed with lung cancer or rheumatoid arthritis will probably be too late. The arthritis joint pain or the pain caused by lung cancer won't compare to the pain you will feel in your heart because of the regrets that you could have avoid all this pain by quitting smoking. Smoking kills- that's not a myth.
