he/she thought he/she would have less trouble breathing after quitting smoking, but said he/she was still adjusting to the change. he/she said, ‘I thought that I would not have this problem of breathlessness but I am still feeling it. Inshallah, he/she will also be fine.

Shahrukh used to smoke hundreds of cigarettes a day, but do you know what effect smoking just one cigarette a day can have on your health? Let us know.

Disadvantages of smoking one cigarette a day

University College London Cancer Institute (ref) has studied what effect smoking just one cigarette a day can have on health. Researchers looked at data from 141 studies and expected that people who smoked just one cigarette a day would have a significantly lower risk of heart disease, but they were shocked to see the results.

risk of heart disease

The study found that men who smoked even just one cigarette a day had a 46% increased risk of heart disease and a 41% increased risk of stroke, compared to men who did not smoke. Women who smoked one cigarette a day had a 31% risk of heart disease and a 34% risk of stroke. These figures speak volumes: Reducing the number of cigarettes smoked a day does not make much of a difference to health, and does not help reduce the risk of heart disease as much as is believed.

lung damage

The harmful toxins and carcinogens present in cigarette smoke damage the lungs, even when consumed in small quantities. This increases the risk of diseases like chronic bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer in the long run.

Weak immunity and also risk of cancer

The chemicals in cigarettes weaken your immune system, which can cause the body to lose the ability to fight infections. Apart from this, the carcinogens present in cigarette smoke increase the risk of cancer, not only in the lungs but also in the mouth, throat, esophagus and other parts.

It also has many disadvantages

Smoking can reduce blood flow and prevent oxygen from reaching the skin, leading to premature wrinkles, dull skin and other signs of aging. Nicotine may temporarily improve mood, but in the long run it can increase anxiety and mood swings. Smoking even just one cigarette affects the brain and you are likely to become addicted to it.

how to quit smoking cigarettes

Since smoking is a highly addictive habit, it is difficult to quit without help. Researchers have given some suggestions to make this difficult path a little easier.
talk to your doctor
Smoking is not just a habit, but an addiction. After you start smoking, your body quickly begins to crave nicotine and you need help fighting this craving when you quit. Treatment medications can help you achieve success and get your health back.
make a plan
Because of the mental and social aspects of smoking, it is helpful to make a plan to quit the habit completely. Take help from your experts, doctor and family members to make your plan.
Identify your triggers
It is important to know the reason why you smoke cigarettes, such as a particular place, a particular time of the day, feeling bored or having some special friends. Instead of trying to completely remove smoking triggers from your life, it is better to replace them with new habits.
