Fellow smokers,
I've been trying for years to quit, and sometimes quit for a few months,
or even for a year once, but I always return. Then it occured to me. maybe
there's ways to at least reduce the dangers while I conyinue to smoke.
I once heard cetain vitamins are important for smokers, and somewhere else
I heard that 2 or 3 minutes of forced coughing every morning clears the
lungs of built up toxins.
I once posted a question on Web M.D , and a few other health websites,
asking what steps can be taken to reduce the dangers, but I kept getting the
same " just quit". I guess it would be politically incorrect for any doctor
to give advice to smokers that might encourage them to continue smoking. But
lets be realistic,some people will smoke regardless, or find it impossible
to quit. So they might as well take steps to improve their overall health
and minimize the risks to thier health.
Does anyone know of somewhere to find a whole list of things to do that
counteract the bad effects of smoking? Or perhaps everyone can just add some
tips that they know, and we can make our own list.
Personally, if I can learn of about ten different things to do each day to
help prevent possible cancer, emphazeme, etc, then I'm definately going to
do it, I don't care if it take 3o minutes everyday. I want to smoke but also
fear health problems.
