For sure smoking is harmful. I can tell you a long list of systemic dangers associated with smoking. However, whether it is easy to give up this bad habit or not, I can tell you that it is not easy to do so definitely.

I still remember one of our teaching staff in the medical school was giving us a lecture about smoking effects on health some 25 years a go, and then we found him smoking outdoor at the end of the day! Be sure that this is a stuff of addiction.

Thanks

No advantage.

It is just addiction and injurious to human health

smoking is very dangerous for our health, it is a risk factor for many diseases such as pneumonia,

Dear respected Khulood Obaid,

Smoking is not good for ones health and has a lot of health dangers and few benefits well known to those that smoke. Once you are addicted to smoking someone become slave under the substance. The substance has full control on such person.

Best regards

Kifilideen...

it helps in reducing eating then slimming, but combined with lot disease

Smoking is harmful for health. Still some people smoke. More awareness need to be created about its adverse impact.

No advantages whatsoever. Smoking is dangerous to human human health. Smokers are liable to die young......,

Dear Dr. Khulood Obaid, thank you so much for this important question where I agree with most of my colleagues, but I add:

On the one hand, according to studies conducted during the last century, smoking is harmful to health and may be a major cause of cancer, on the other hand, it is waste of money while there are many people who do not find what they eat but if every smoker stops smoking and offers this money to the poor, it will be much better.

In addition, one day, I have estimated how much money my grandfather spent on smoking in 40 years? It was surprising that he spent a very large sum, which is equivalent to the purchase of four cars at a price of 4000 euros.

But When Cigarette gives you Lung Diseases and Hypertension Also Lung Cancer Advantages do not matter at all. Regards

Dear respected Khulood Obaid,

Greetings

I do not smoke a cigarette.

I do not smoke a cigarette.

I smoked for years, and when i stopped I came alive again. i could smell, taste and run once more.

Smoking is short path to death

With respect to all smokers.

Some smokers believe that there is an added benefit to them when smoking.

Passive smoking is the smoke inhalation of cigarette smoking by others; some persons who own thing do not smoke, and often this type of smoking is associated with the same damage caused by the actual smoking, which increases a person's lung cancer and other diseases ratio

Without a doubt, It is harmful for your health. So, why mankind does wrong thing purposely?

Some teenagers and those who start smoking consider it the most important thing because they are men.

Therefore, I consider smoking to be one of the most dangerous practices that affect society and peoples.

People exposed to secondhand smoke face many risks and health risks, including: Lung cancer: Secondhand smoke kills a large number of people every year because of lung cancer caused by smoking. Living with a smoker increases the risk of the disease by about 20% to 30%.

Smoking is a major cause of several serious and harmful health conditions, especially for women and children.

That’s true Dear Dr. Dhyaa Allban , I agree with you.

Smoking is poisonous but it is taken full of will and the smoker has this will to leave it

Other types of cancer, passive smoking may lead to several types of cancer, such as: head and neck cancer, bladder cancer, and others

Heart disease and stroke, passive smoking causes heart disease that causes the death of a large number of non-smokers.

Lung disease, increased incidence of lung disease rate among people who are exposed to secondhand smoke, and these diseases: asthma, and pulmonary embolism.

Respiratory diseases People who are exposed to secondhand smoke have several respiratory diseases, and children are more likely to develop these diseases

Sudden death, passive smoking leads to the occurrence of sudden death in children exposed to him.

Abortion and low weight of children, the risk of miscarriage during pregnancy increases for women exposed to secondhand smoke, as well as low birth weight in infants and children

Impact on pregnancy health Smoking reduces the ability to conceive and reproduce. It reduces the fertility of both men and women. It affects men's sperm and reduces fertility. It increases the likelihood of birth defects in the child. If a woman is pregnant, On prenatal and postnatal health, as well as preterm delivery, miscarriage, low fetal weight at birth, dead fetal birth, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

Influence on the nervous system Tobacco contains a type of substance called nicotine, which reaches the brain within a few seconds to change the mood temporarily, and gives a sense of activity, but after the disappearance of the effect of nicotine, the person will sometimes feel tired, may have difficulty sleeping , Depression, anger, and low concentration, then a person cravings to smoke a cigarette again, leading to addiction, so people find it difficult to quit.

Pneumonia Smoking can significantly disrupt lung function, causing damage to the people, small air pockets, and many other lung diseases that may be very serious, such as lung cancer in the relatively long term, and if a person already suffers from diseases Pneumonia and asthma, smoking exacerbates those problems faster

Among the effects of smoking: Disrupts the distribution of oxygen-rich blood to parts of the body and increases the risk of peripheral vascular disease

Causes bad breath, discoloration of teeth, yellowing of nails, and wrinkling of the skin

Increases the risk of stomach ulcers

Cause poor concentration, lack of activity

Cancers of the mouth or tongue

The smoker acts to spoil the fresh air.

Smoking is considered wasteful and wasteful and God forbade it.

Smoking damage to women: irregular menstrual cycle, and can often lead to disruptions. Increases the risk of cancer, specifically uterine cancer. Women are more likely to have psoriasis. Dry skin, cracking heavily..

The advantages of smoking are getting cancer, sleepless nights, stomach ulcer and degrade from your name.

Smoking causes illness and death, among other disadvantages. It is the most preventable lifestyle factor affecting human health. Smoking harms every organ in your body. Your heart, blood vessels, lungs and fertility are all negatively affected by smoking and the chemicals in cigarettes.

No doubt smoking is dangerous,...but now a days it become fasshion...

Thanks dear Dr. Dnyaneshwar Namdev Jagtap for you response.

Thanks a lot dear Dr. Mohanad Hazim for your good views about this problem.

Scientifically speaking, NO, smoking is not good for health. It causes cancer. But, if you ask a very depressed man who is exhausted by the weight of his/her own existence would won't find smoking bad at all.

Moreover, some people smoke because they are addicted to it, even if they wish to quit it, they cannot!

As far as the second part of the question is concerned, NO, I don't smoke!

Smoking Kills!

Bets regards,

Ever since I stopped smoking, I could ride my bike as much as I wanted, not just as much as I could. Since then, I traveled by bike tens of thousands of kilometers in Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Italy. If I smoked, I could only dream about it. I am almost fifty years old and I constantly travel a long distance visiting many interesting places. The bike gives freedom and strength, cigarettes - enslavement and weakness. In addition, cycling oxygenates the brain, which works better. This is also very important.

Dear Khulood Obaid ,

Thank you very much for this important and social question that associate with a big problem social habits.

And I am the answer is there are NO advantages of smoking except the accumulate of many diseases in future as well as to some smoker says they are feel at ease during smoking and these are a pseudo-psychological feeling.

Regards,

Naseer Almukhtar

I do not smoke and I cannot recommend anyone to smoke even if there is any advantage. Its harmful effects would surely out weight the advantage, if any.

Dear Khulood Obaid ,

I am sorry I forget to say I have been never smoking absolutely.

Smoking negatively affects the body in different ways & shortens the average lifespan by several years. Smoking accelerates the ageing process, weakens the immune system cause lung cancer and increases risk of heart disease, stroke and eye disease.

Best regards.

Kifilideen.

People smoke to fight cold. But at the end of the day, smoking kills! Thus, even if it seems to have a certain merit which I think is temporary or instant, it's demerits have far reaching and sour consequences. Thus, it is very very unwise to smoke!

Thanks a lot dears colleagues;

I haven't read or observed a single advantage to smoking.

"Radical" non-smoker!

The advantage of smoking is harm to public health

I do not smoke

Greetings to you doctor

Dear dr. Khulood

Thank you for provoking this stimulating discussion There is no advantage in smoking. Its bad and dangerous effects are well mentioned and clarified by RG colleagues.

regards

That people who smoke secondhand smoke suffer from the same diseases that affect the smoker to suffer diseases such as breathlessness, bronchitis, asthma and otitis media.

Well the utmost reason people smoke is because they feel a sense of calmness from it or we can say they get a certain level of peace which in most cases helps to reduce stress.

Also Studies show that smoking can reduce weight i.e decrease obesity, but its better to work out than to smoke though.

Recent studies also showing that smoking reduces chances of parkinson's disease, though more extensive studies are under way.

Still, disadvantages of smoking far outweigh the advantages.

Although it is a long time since I smoked, I find anyone smoking near me unbearable, my eyes stream and I cough continuously.

The distaff side to stopping smoking? When my sense of taste returned I couldn't stop eating and put on considerable weight-which affected my health. Over time, I took it off. But it took years.

Smoking is exceptionally addictive as with all psychotropic drugs, especially medical ones. I used the technique of accepting one month for every year of smoking before symptoms and craving lifted. Although people sometimes smoke to quell nerves or anxiety, nicotine actually creates such feelings and you end up smoking more. If you see my papers on psychotropic drugs of all kinds, this appears the process where more and more of a drug is required as addiction kicks in and certain aligned symptoms gain expression. Psychological and physiological dependency becomes an issue that escalates the longer a person smokes. Tasks become difficult unless accompanied by smoking.

Other disadvantages: staining of teeth, fingers may occur-even slightly.

The smell of tobacco lingers.
