Smoking Effects

 


  Smoking, the habit of inhaling and exhaling the fumes of burning plant material. This habit is not strange to us in our ears. Smoking is commonly associated with tobacco as smoked in a cigarette, cigar, or pipe. Did you know, tobacco can cause more than 7 million death and 1.2 million death are among non-smokers. Which is smoking could lead people to die faster. Well, for further explanation here is a few details of why this habit could kill us. 

  Inhaling any smoke is harmful. Smoking can impact the lung in several ways. One of the most common smoking-related lung conditions is Emphysema. Emphysema can reduce the number of alveoli and break down the wall between them. This makes it difficult to breathe, a person may need an oxygen mask over time. 

  Addiction. Funny but true most smokers want to stop because they know about their health risks. But many of them are keep smoking. That proven people are already addicted to nicotine which is one of the industrial strategies. The nicotine in tobacco gets rapidly into their brain and creates a need to continue to smoke. The falling level of nicotine creates the urge to smoke. Controlling these urges is the key to being able to trigger the habit. 

  Smoking increases the cancer risk. This is the worst case of a smoking habit. Tobacco smoke contains around 7000 chemicals, of which at least 69 can cause cancer. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. Not only lung cancer, but almost all bodies can also increase the cancer risk such as mouth, larynx or voice box and pharynx or throat. Cigars, pipes, cigarettes, and other forms of tobacco all cause cancer and other health problems. 

  Giving up smoking is difficult for many people, but the number of former smokers is increasing all the time. If some of you want to quit smoking there are a lot of efforts to do and once it succeeded, it could reduce many risks especially cancer. Hopefully, this article makes you aware of smoking and as always, have a nice day 😀.

Leader Vs Boss

    Some people might use the terms "boss" and "leader" interchangeably, but that's not entirely accurate. The truth is, some bosses are simply a boss. They have attained a position in the management section of the corporate pyramid. Those positions alone don't make them leaders. They are just pushing their employers while "sitting down". However, bosses can become leaders, and doing so should become a priority for those who want to effectively lead in the workplace. So, what is the difference between a leader and a boss?   A boss refers to an individual who is in charge of the employee or an organisation. He exercises control over employees, assigns tasks, and duties to them, and is entitled to take decisions on some matters. There is no formal title like "boss" in the organisational chart, but the term indicates a person who is the owner or appointed as head of the organisation, department, or division.   On the other hand, the term lea

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart

Early Birds and Night Owls

  In this world, there are two kinds of people in this world, people who love to hear birds chirping in the morning, and people who wish the birds had a mute button somewhere. Someone likes the sun going up, someone likes the sun drowning to keep the night up. In other words, early birds and night owls. So, which one are you?    Early birds or morning people. They are awake in the morning and love to welcome the new day. Early birds tend to go to bed early, wake up early, and feel their best as the day begins. As a general rule, early birds find a society more accommodating than night owls do. Early birds generally have an easier time adjusting to standard daytime schedules.    On the other hand, night owls or night people tend to stay up late, enjoy sleeping in, have more energy at night, and feel tired after waking up early. Night owls do have a few downsides. They might have a harder time holding a traditional job. Young night owls might have trouble making a fixed school or univers
