@Young but Smoking


Smoking as a young person can have significant and long-lasting effects on your health, including:


💥Respiratory problems_: Smoking can lead to asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).


💥Lung cancer_: Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and is responsible for about 30% of all cancer deaths.


💥Cardiovascular disease_: Smoking can increase your risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.


💥Increased risk of infections_: Smoking can increase your risk of infections, such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.


💥Premature aging_: Smoking can cause premature aging, including wrinkles and age spots.


💥Infertility_: Smoking can decrease fertility in both men and women.


💥Gum disease and tooth loss_: Smoking can cause gum disease and tooth loss.


💥Eye problems_: Smoking can increase your risk of cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.


💥Weakened bones_: Smoking can weaken your bones and increase your risk of osteoporosis.


💥Increased risk of addiction_: Smoking can increase your risk of addiction to other substances.


Additionally, smoking can also impact your mental health, relationships, and daily life. Quitting smoking can greatly reduce your risk of developing these health problems and improve your overall well-being.


Quitting smoking as a young person can be challenging, but it's definitely possible if you follow this advice:


💥Set a quit date*: Choose a specific date to quit smoking and mark it on your calendar.


💥Get support: Share your decision with friends and family, and consider joining a support group or talking to a counselor.


💥Identify your triggers: Make a list of situations that make you want to smoke, and come up with alternative actions to take instead.


💥Stay active: Engage in physical activities like exercise, sports, or yoga to distract yourself from cravings.


💥Find healthy alternatives: Replace smoking with hobbies, creative pursuits, or spending time with non-smoking friends.


💥Reward yourself: Celebrate small milestones, like reaching a week without smoking, with non-smoking related rewards.


💥Be patient: Quitting smoking is a process, and it may take time to overcome the addiction.


💥Seek professional help: If you're finding it hard to quit, consider seeking help from a counselor, medical specialist or a smoking cessation program.


Remember, quitting smoking is a journey, and it's okay to take it one day at a time. You got this!

@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery Smiling is one of the simplest and most powerful actions we can take, yet it holds a surprising amount of magic and mystery. A genuine smile is more than just a facial expression—it’s a universal language that transcends culture, age, and even species. It’s a subtle gesture with profound effects on our emotions, relationships, and well-being. 📌The Science Behind a Smile A smile does more than communicate friendliness; it triggers a biological response. When you smile, your brain releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin—the chemicals responsible for happiness and relaxation.

@Thank You for Leaving Me Sometimes, the greatest blessings come disguised as heartbreak. It’s in the moments of loss and separation that we find clarity, growth, and transformation. To my ex, to my former friend, to my former colleague, to my former roommate, to my former coursemate, to my estranged relative, to my former pastor, to my former business partner, to my former confidant, the one who once held a space in my life, I want to say thank you—for leaving me.
