As the number of cigarettes and duration of smoking increases, addiction increases, and its harmful effects become apparent over time. 35 percent of cancer deaths in men and 15 percent in women are caused by smoking,” was said.
Turkey Cancer Doctor said: “With smoking, the body is almost unaffected by organs and tissues as if there is no. It can cause damage to all organs, including the lips, mouth, tongue, larynx, lungs, heart and circulatory system, which are the way of smoking. 35% of all cancer deaths in men and 15% in women are caused by smoking.

INCREASES THE RISK OF HEART ATTACK BY 10 TIMES
A doctor who says smoking is the cause of COPD in the lungs “It increases the risk of heart attack by 10 times. It causes hardening of the vessels, blocking the vessels of the brain, significantly increasing the risk of stroke (stroke). So why do people who have had COPD because of smoking, even people whose quality of life has fallen considerably, still continue to smoke when the harm is so obvious? Here are some nicotine withdrawal symptoms that occur when you quit smoking (restlessness, irritability, difficulty concentrating, dry mouth, etc.) enter. Stress at the stage of quitting smoking should not be perceived as a personality structure or lack of willpower. It is necessary to accept this condition as a disease that needs to be treated,” he said.
The Turkish doctors can provide the person with appropriate nicotine replacement therapy, some medical medications taken by mouth, and psychological support if necessary.
Advice to those who want to quit smoking, “It can help a person determine a special day to quit smoking. After quitting smoking, you should stay away from reminder items (lighters, ashtrays) and environments. Consuming plenty of fluids, exercise and hiking will be beneficial. Deferred pursuits or hobbies can be resumed or new hobbies can be acquired. Support can be obtained from the family and the environment. For sudden smoking crises that occur from time to time, deep breathing exercises, raw vegetable and fruit consumption, shower intake can be applied. An increase in appetite and weight gain that will occur with quitting smoking should not scare a person. Instead of flour and high-calorie foods and drinks, lighter ones should be preferred. Even a single cigarette should not be tried, saying that I no longer start again when smoking is stopped. Stability can be increased by thinking about the positive effects that will occur in the body when you quit smoking during the stress phase, and this gives the person strength. Electronic cigarettes or heated tobacco products are not a smoking cessation method. Because they also contain nicotine, the addiction continues. In addition, it contains large number of harmful substances, such as heavy metals, nitrosamine, polycyclic hydrocarbons in human lungs.”
