Many people are skeptical, and believe this really is yet another marketing ploy to cause unwary consumers to purchase more unneeded goods and services. Other’s are shocked they have never learned about the hazards of radon gas in their home. The purpose of this article is to put a few facts on the table. It’s up to you to make an informed decision.

Radon Gas is the natural byproduct of the decay of uranium. It is clear and odorless so we can not detect it with our senses. Uranium occurs naturally in most rock and soil. Radioactive radon gas is being created all around us all the time. All this naturally occurring radiation is around us each and every day. The levels however, are very low and well below the danger level. In most areas, the levels of naturally occurring radiation is below the amount of radiation we can receive from a dentist’s x-ray. In low doses, the radiation from radon gas is harmless.

Radon becomes a problem when we are exposed to it at high levels over a long period of time. Radon gas must be inhaled to cause injury. Cell damage can be caused by inhaled radon gas. Cancer may be the result of this constant repetitive damage of the lungs cells. This link between Radon and Cancer, was first observed in underground mines. Researchers found that the miners in some mines had significantly higher rates of lung cancer. These mines were found to contain a high concentration of radon gas.

Without a doubt, radon induced lung cancer is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Over 20,000 deaths are attributed to radon exposure every year. To make matters worse, researchers have found that mixing smoking with radon exposure can dramatically increase your risk of the disease over exposure to either cigarette smoke or radon.

How does radon gas enter our homes? The naturally occurring gas can seep into our basements through cracks in the foundation, walls and floor. It can be created by building materials and even out gassing from water. A tightly sealed home with good insulation and poor insulation, can inadvertently cause the accumulation and build up of radon gas.

Correcting a radon gas problem is a relatively simple procedure. The first step is to purchase a self administered radon test kit These kits are placed in strategic places in your home and collect samples for 2 to 90 days. They are then sent to a test lab in a prepaid envelope.

The removal of radon gas is accomplished using several methods. New homes are often built with radon barriers below their floors and around the foundations. The most common method of mitigation in existing homes is radon sump ventilation . The cost of professionally installed radon ventilation equipment on average cost between £600 and £1200.

Radon is a known cause of lung cancer. There is, however, no need to panic. The danger is long term and if you act now to become informed and take action, you can ensure the safety of your family. There is no immediate danger, only danger from long term exposure. Check with your local municipality and find out if there is a known radon problem in your area. For a definitive answer, purchase a low cost self administered radon test kit. If you suspect a radon problem, consult with a radon mitigation specialist in your area and determine what the correct method for correcting the problem is.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death of smokers. Every year, thousands, possibly millions of people world wide from this terrible disease. There are a lot things you can do to prevent this. The best way is to stop smoking completely, but every smoker knows that is very difficult to do. So what can you do to help you quit smoking and prevent cancer? Try an alternative smoking device called the electronic cigarette.

The electronic cigarette looks and feels just like a regular tobacco cigarette. You use it the same way you use a regular cigarette . You inhale on it and a water vapor containing nicotine is inhaled. When you breathe it out , you exhale the vapor and it looks and taste like the cigarette smoke you exhale now. So how is this going to prevent cancer from developing?

The electronic cigarette does not have any of the cancer causing ingredients that typical cigarettes contain. The electric cigarette only contains water vapor and nicotine. When you puff on the electronic cigarette, the water vapor evaporates and is inhaled along with nicotine. That is it, you do not have any of the 4,000 + chemicals that a typical cigarette has!

An electronic cigarette tastes exactly the same as a regular smoke. If you prefer menthol or other different flavor cigarettes, there are cartridges that will give you the taste you are looking for. The nicotine cartridges comes in various strengths from strong, regular, mild, very mild to no nicotine. So you can slowly cut down on the amount of nicotine you use. This is what is holding you back from quitting altogether. The addiction to the nicotine is hard and and this is the best way to let go of that addiction. By slowly reducing the amount your body is accustomed to, your body will not get the withdrawal symptoms that all the smokers who quit cold turkey get.

You will over come the addiction the tobacco industry has on you and you will be able to stop smoking and you will effectively cut down the risk of getting cancer. You will also improve your over all health. Your lungs will feel much better, you will breather much easier and you will no longer have the cigarette smell on your clothes and hair. Your nails will no longer look yellow as well. If you want to a live case study and see the results, visit http://trysmokeassist.com/ right now.

Since the 60s, smoking women has continued to grow: the proportion of smokers rose from 10 to 22% in 40 years on the 15 million smokers in USA. The women smoke more and more and earlier. The first cigarette is usually taken between 14 and 16 years. Cigarette smoke passes from the lungs to the brain within 10 seconds, carrying so much faster than would intravenous injection of illicit drugs. Smoking cigarette send some 4 000 chemicals to the body.

Tobacco and gynecological disorders

Smoking decreases the secretion of estrogen. It may therefore be responsible for menstrual disorders with irregularities and pain. There is also often a change of tone of voice, which becomes hoarse, and an increase of hairs. Menopause occurs 1 to 2 years earlier than average among smokers. Hot flashes are more intense and the risk of osteoporosis is increased. Tobacco also promotes the development of precancerous lesions of the cervix.

Tobacco and skin

Due to a lack of oxygenation of the skin, smokers are more often dull complexion and “clouded”. The cellular exchanges have slowed and the waste is not eliminated. The skin loose his radiance and elasticity. Wrinkles appear prematurely, with 10 to 20 years ahead, especially at the lips. Smoking stimulates the production of free radicals that damage the elastin and collagen.

Tobacco and pill

35% of women aged 20 to 44 years who take contraceptive smoke, increasing from 4 to 10 times the risk of cardiovascular problems. Combining a contraceptive with cigarettes is a major health hazard, especially past 35 years. Indeed, nicotine promotes deposition of fat in the blood vessels and damages arteries. The blood thickens and the risk of thrombosis, stroke and cerebral vascular accident (stroke) is accentuated. These evils are aggravated by contraceptives.

Smoking and Pregnancy

cigarette smoking decreases by 50% female fertility: thickens the cervical mucus, preventing sperm progression, lack of estrogen reduces the quality of the uterine wall and restricts blood flow necessary for the implantation of the egg. Smoking increases by 3 the risk of miscarriage, and by 2 ectopic pregnancies and premature births. There is also stunted fetus that is not well oxygenated. Its weight is generally lower than 200 g at birth. In addition, smokers lactating produce 25% less milk than non-smokers.

Tobacco and weight

Smoking reduce the taste and smell. In addition, nicotine stimulates the nervous system that causes a cut-hunger, slows the storage of fat in adipocytes and artificially increases energy expenditure to 200 calories per day compared to non-smoker. The smokers have a weight lower than they would if they do not smoke (around 4 kg). So when you stop smoking, you just go back to your normal weight. No need to worry! However physical activity is still recommended to stabilize the weight. If you start to gain to much weight, try to eat better by cutting in the fat and salt.

It may be a good idea to consult a dietetist to help stabilize your weight while you stop smoking. Consulting a dietetist is a sure way to establish a healthy and balanced diet. Using dangerous product like laxative and purgative are dangerous and not the solution to long lasting weight loss!

Good luck!

Since 2006, the e-cig has attracted millions of people around the world who have switched from traditional cigarettes to the e-cigarette, also referred to as the “safe cigarette, the e-cigarette, and the smokeless cigarette“.

Electronic cigarettes share some aspects of there traditional counterparts, such as appearance, feel and taste of a normal cigarette. But the differences are substantial in that the “safe cigarette” gets it’s name because it produces none of the negative aspects of traditional smoking like tar, ignition (heat), up to 4000 types of chemical additives that often lead to respiratory and cardiac system diseases, nor the carcinogenic effects of traditional cigarettes. There are new mini electronic cigarettes that are consumers new favorite because they look and taste like a traditional cigarette. The most common smokeless cigarettes is none other than the original Smokeless Delite.

Ever since the Surgeon General
determined that cigarette smoking is hazardous to your health, cigarette companies have searched for ways to reduce tar and nicotine levels, in efforts to create a more safe smoking experience. Nothing, however, has ever come close to the electronic cigarette.

This revolutionary new smoking alternative, not only simulates cigarette smoke but also the temperature associated with dragging off a common cigarette (50-60 degrees Celsius), thus adding to the psychological habit without adding the hazardous substances which have proven to cause cancerous, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrocyanic acid, acrolein, arsenic, lead and hydragyrum.

Smokeless cigarettes were first viewed with trepidation but more and more have become embraced by the public as well as the Medical Association. E-Cigarettes are now manufactured by a number of different companies throughout the US and China and are readily available across the United States and Europe, even the some of the most ardent skeptics have become believers once they try the electronic cigarette.

Adding to the safety benefits, the electronic cigarette has also been proven as a way for smokers to quit the habit, as the level of nicotine can be carefully monitored, thus giving the smoker the option of gradually lowering the level until he/she can quit without fear of withdrawals. Most electronic cigarette refill cartridges are available in full, medium, light and none, and while electronic cigarettes are not yet approved as smoking cessation
devices, the potential for the devices to be used as such is somewhat obvious.

It’s recommended that people who have demonstrated a sensitivity or allergy to nicotine, pregnant or breastfeeding, or who have unstable heart conditions should discuss the use of an electronic cigarette device with a doctor before using one. Additionally, electronic cigarettes may not be used by anyone under the legal smoking age in your state.

Many consumer are turning smokeless and loving the benefits they receive from it. You can find more valuale iformaition and a great video at smokelessdelite.com.

I know there are negative effects from smoking, ya, but are there any inherent traits of cigarette smoke that will affect results from lifting weights?

Well, we know that nicotine is terrible for circulation (it narrows blood vessels and damages blood cells) and smoking is terrible for respiration (damages the lungs and makes it harder to get oxygen out of the air you breathe). Together this puts strain on all your muscles which needs both systems to bring healthy oxygen rich blood to your muscular system in order to repair it (and, of course, grow muscle) and keep it healthy. Therefore, logic dictates that if you smoke it is harder for a smoker’s body to maintain a healthy muscular system, compared with a nonsmoker. Not to mention you’re putting an enormous strain on your most important muscle, your heart.

Alright, so i don’t want any lectures because they’re pointless and i wont listen. Anyway, so i heard somewhere that being used to cigarette smoking, which i am, makes smoking weed easier because you will be used to inhaling smoke already. Is it true?
i don’t want to know about addiction, just a simple question: will i cough any less?

Yes, learning to inhale cigarette smoke will make it easier to inhale pot smoke. However, one should not begin smoking cigarettes as practice for weed. Definitely not worth it.

I’m not pregnant and smoking and evil, just curious.
Thanks.
Not what I asked.

Good question – most people these days don’t allow their babies to experiment with smoking to find out if they have a predisposition to it or not. In the old days, though, some babies did experiment with it: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=J30RMM%2Fgx6SJb%2FAMgGXGAw%3D%3D

All kidding aside, exposure to nicotine gives you a tolerance to it, even years later. So, kids who were exposed to nicotine in the womb probably have a slightly easier time getting used to the nicotine when they try smoking. But tolerance to the drug varies widely among people, so it would be hard to tell if it were from prenatal exposure.

Acne is a short battle, sometimes long drawn out. Smoking is a long drawn battle, sometimes the never-ending battle!

But with the combo of these two, you are only waging a permanent battle against your own self. You are fighting a war of self-destruction.

Well, acne is a bad condition for the skin. It is the eruption of the inner impurities. It is the expulsion of the unwanted stuff by the body mechanism. When body is already making sincere efforts to throw out the unwanted stuff with in, you are continuing with your damaging exercise by pumping in more nicotine-based impurities into your system.

Not surprisingly, acne and smoking have many common conditions due to which they arrive and thrive.

Now the question arises, is smoking directly responsible for acne conditions? The answer is in the affirmative.

With smoking you introduce certain chemicals into the body. These chemicals have a direct bearing on the blood circulation to skin cells. The skin’s ability to heal and regenerate is blocked. The toxins released in cigarette smoke results in pores getting clogged, and this promotes bacterial growth in the pores. All these negative factors contribute to growth of skin eruptions in the form of acne, zits and pimples.

In post pubescent breakouts of acne, stress is considered as one of the major factors. Herein knowing this proven fact, you can say that stress, headache, acne and smoking make a musical chair of diseases. All these diseases are so closely interrelated after all.

Think over. You smoke because you wish to come out of the situation of stress. Does smoking relieve the stress permanently? Does it even do it temporarily? No. Rather it adds one more layer to the load of your stress. And you may even experience severe headache.

When you face a stressful situation the brain alerts the central nervous system which on its part, sends signals to all parts of the body. As part of this fight response, hormonal release from the adrenal glands results. Sebaceous glands release fatty secretions. These two conditions cause clogging of the pores that can contribute acne outbreaks.

Understand this. Acne is a bad condition of your skin and that of your health. Smoking in such a condition, is just like adding fuel to the fire. It will create further stressful conditions and extend a cordial invitation to the headache. All in all, you need to give up smoking when you have the outbreak of acne.
