By Charlotte Webster-
Smoking is bad for concentration from a medical view point. In fact, it makes it worse. Withdrawal symptoms often begin after a smoker has had their last cigarette, making them feel restlessness until they are able to have their next cigarette.
In fact, smoking makes concentration more difficult. Another cigarette may temporarily bring relief to the symptoms caused by the original cigarette, but the relief caused is only temporary.
smoking actually makes concentration progressively more challenging because the more one smokes, the more smoking is necessary to keep up with the last crave. With any drug, you eventually need more and more of it to produce the same effect.
MEDICAL
smoking causes clogged arteries, therefore starving the brain of oxygen and limiting our ability to concentrate. This means that smokers who concentrate relatively well, would most likely even concentrate a lot better if they did not smoke
Cigarettes is known to cause Carbon monoxide- a deadly poison- to the human system. Despite this fact many of my friends and associates enjoy smoking. Dictating to others how they should live is never a recommendation, however, there is no harm in furnishing people with enough information to help them reconsider their position.
DELIBERATE
Giving up cigarettes or any habit is not easy. It must begin with a deliberate determination to want to give up, and a conscious vision of a lifestyle without smoking. Most smokers will need a substitute for smoking; in other words, something to look forward to. Going to the gym may help, although there are many who unwisely combine gym with smoking.
All Time Low
NHS statistics suggest that smoking is at an all-time low, showing that the number of smokers in the UK have drastically fallen. Perhaps contemplating the dangers of smoking, and pondering on a much healthier lifestyle without it, is the bright way forward.
