Smoking can
provide you pleasure for a limited time but in long run, it will kill you.
However, smoking doesn't kill you right away. It gives you disease upon disease
as it shortens your life. It makes your health horrible, and it also makes it
difficult for you to recover from illnesses and injuries. It also helps worsen
diseases you already have, making their progress quicker and their effects far
deadlier. Here is what to do if you have one of those diseases.
Lupus
Systemic
lupus erythematosus, or lupus for short, is a disorder where the body's own
immune system attacks normal tissue that belongs to the body instead of
attacking the real invaders that do not belong to the body. The symptoms of
lupus include inflammation and swelling. Lupus also involves damages to the
heart, the lungs, and the kidneys. Even the blood and the skin get damaged.
Smoking increases the damage to the organs, increasing the diseases that are
created by lupus. Smoking helps lupus wreak havoc. Smoking is to lupus-like
Robin is to Batman.
Lupus and Smoking
When lighted,
tobacco cigarettes create a combustion that contains loads of toxins. When you
inhale tobacco smoke, you inhale the toxins with it. These toxins enter your
airways, touching your lungs and getting into your bloodstream. Soon, they
reach your brain and the farthest ends of your body. Smoking damages your
organs destroys the systems of your body and messes up the functions of the
different parts of your body. This eventually leads to multiple diseases and a
shorter life. You have a higher possibility of dying from smoking than from
lupus. So just imagine how bad it can get when the two go together.
Quit With E-cigarettes
If you have
lupus and you are a smoker, you must quit smoking as soon as possible. The
fastest way to quit smoking tobacco is by switching to e-cigarettes.
E-cigarettes are electronic devices that produce heat and steam that look like
smoke. You do not have to light them up to use them, so they do not have the
combustion and the toxins that tobacco cigarettes have. Therefore, they are not
harmful. If you want to make them resemble real tobacco cigarettes, you can use
tobacco vape
juice. It can contain just the right amount of nicotine for your
needs, depending on your requests.
Quit Just By Quitting
If the pain
that lupus brings you has made you petrified of smoke, the best way to quit
smoking is by simply quitting smoking. You can simply stop and distract
yourself from your cravings by reading books, listening to music, or hanging
out with optimistic friends. It is the most difficult way to quit smoking, but
some smokers have used it in the past, and they succeeded. It will take some
time to get used to a life of no tobacco, but it will be awesome once you get
used to not smoking. You will be normal again, and your health will also be
normal again.
Avoid Secondhand Smoke
Dealing with
lupus by avoiding tobacco isn't just about quitting smoking. You must also
avoid secondhand smoke. There is no difference between direct smoke and
secondhand smoke, so successfully stopping smoking while living with
inconsiderate chainsmokers doesn't really work. You must move to a location
where smoking in public is forbidden, or kindly tell your friends to move
extremely far away from you when they smoke. Tell them to not smoke in your
car, in your bedroom, in your house, and all of the other rooms you use. They
will surely listen to a friend who has lupus.
