Help young people to stop smoking

I was listening to Radio Norfolk yesterday about an initiative to help young people to stop smoking. Young people are not interested in the risks of smoking unfortunately because we probably all have felt invincible at times. It's only when we get older we start to worry about the effects of any damaging things we have done to ourselves. What concerned me most though was there seemed to be conflicting advice about what GPs are telling patients. Some said if pregnant women felt anxious about stopping smoking they should continue. This advice seemed to be ridiculous. What doctor in their [...]

E-cigarettes lead to chronic lung conditions

Just in case you think that electronic cigarettes are better for you than tobacco, there is now evidence that e-cigarettes lead to chronic lung conditions and also affecting the cells in the body. See this article I have seen quite a few clients who have begun to have panic attacks and general anxiety. It would appear that the anxiety began when smoking electronic cigarettes. Perhaps it would be better to stop all forms of smoking, whether it is habitual or psychological. If you'd like to stop smoking now, call me on 01603 712704 or visit my website www.joygower.co.uk

Smoking – stop and stay stopped for good

No Smoking Day

No smoking day I just noticed that yesterday was No Smoking Day. Are you getting anti smoking fatigue? If so ... We all know the dangers of smoking, well there probably are a few people who don't, but I wonder if we deny what is really going on inside our body, and just hope we won't be one of those people who succumb to smoking related diseases. In the 1960s there was a documentary on TV about the effects of smoking and they showed a diseased lung. Many of us smoked at that time and we all panicked about seeing [...]

Stopping smoking reduces stress

Stopping smoking reduces stress (Daily Mail) Stopping smoking does reduce stress. Smoking causes depression and anxiety. The vicious circle though is when you try to stop smoking, you become anxious because you are addicted to smoking. The news is that smoking can cause breast cancer. Have we become immune to all these scares? You mig be saying that you will take your chances on life. That's an option, but if you do want to live longer and not have a smoking related disease which are nasty to say the least, then you will want to stop smoking as easily as [...]
