The concentrated relaxation techniques of hypnosis are said to work marvelously well for helping one quit smoking.

Have you ever thought how dangerous the smoking habit for your kids? Well, we are not talking merely from point of view of catching on the bad habit of smoking, but this is regarding the effects of passive smoking by your children and their health. You satiate your smoke craving at the cost of severe health problems of your kids. It is often evident that smokers are just not aware of the hazards they are impacting on those around. Let’s discuss the hazards in detail:

(1) The smoke particles in the second-hand smoke are tinier than the particles in the active smoking. Thus, your children run a risk of inhaling these smaller particles that can penetrate deeper into the lungs.

(2) If your child is suffering from frequent dizziness, eye irritation, sore throat, nausea, and headache, you should check whether it is due to second hand smoke that they are inhaling frequently.

(3) The non-smokers who come in day to day contact with smokers are exposed to 1% of the smoke from passive smoking. This in turn puts them at risk of dying from heart attack or lung cancer.

(4) It is evident that smokers’ kids are more likely to pick the habit of smoking during their teenage than non-smokers’ kids. This obviously is a risk factor, as those boys and girls who start smoking in teenage are less likely to wean off smoking quickly.

(5) The effects of passive smoking are very dangerous even in unborn developing fetus in the womb of the mother. The bad effects on the fetus are:

-    Premature birth
-    Low birth weight baby
-    Risk of miscarriage
-    A baby born with smaller and underdeveloped organs
-    Easy infections in new born kids
-    High incidence of cot deaths

Thus, presence of your children and grand children around should be a great motivating factor for you to quit smoking. We know it is not easy but every smoker needs a turning point that pressurizes him to quit smoking. Many smokers admit that the birth of their children was the turning point in their lives. May the offspring breathe in healthy and clean air devoid of smoke!
