The Instant Repercussions Of Quitting Smoking

Filed Under Smoking 

We really have so many health concerns to worry about in this world that it can be overwhelming if you try to deal with them all at once. Smoking causes lung cancer. Genes can help cause breast cancer. Too many green beans can contribute to colon cancer. The list continues on forever. We just can’t stay away from everything that could eventually lead us down a path of poor health.

Many women actually quit smoking out of vanity rather than concerns over their health, and there certainly isn’t anything wrong with that. When you’re in your late teens or even your early twenties there is a common factor in picking up cigarette smoking. It’s a choice. Not one of us didn’t feel a terrible feeling in our chest and throat, which often led to coughing, the first time we lit up. And yet we went back and did it again, and again, and yet again.

Image had so much to do with why we started and for women, it can be exactly why we quit. That image became part of us. At least until we looked at the reflection in the mirror and wondered who that old looking lady was staring back at us. Most women in their thirties that started smoking in their early twenties will develop a crease wrinkle between their eyebrows first. Then crows’ feet and slight wrinkles around the mouth start to appear. Discolored facial skin and an unattractive texture come with the territory. When we consider the consequence of weight gain over the repercussion of wrinkles, quitting seems like a better choice.

When you consider the options, you can develop a daily routine and a diet that discourages and helps you recover from any initial weight gain. Try controlling wrinkles and age spots just because you’ve started walking the dog every day. It doesn’t work. When faced with these two options most women will choose to control the weight gain over the worsening condition of their face.

For your facial skin you’re going to want to attack the problem from both the inside and the outside. You can reverse some of the damage once you’re no longer puffing on a smoke. You want to improve your dry skin care to help with the texture and then apply skin care cream that is loaded with collagen, elastin, and antioxidants.

These three basic ingredients are the key elements to repairing the damage that the free radicals from smoking have caused. The chemicals in cigarette smoke stay locked in the blood and eventually turn into the free radicals that control and damage cell development. The natural production of any of these basic essentials is drastically reduced in a woman that smokes.

If you can’t quit wrap your mind around the idea that you might someday off in the future develop cancer or COPD from your behavior now, check your look in the mirror. You will find before your fortieth birthday that you have done enough damage to age your face five to ten years.
