Perhaps it’s more harmful physically to women because our lungs are smaller. Certainly if you have any other issues like artery disease, diabetes, etc., it’s more serious. If you are taking the birth control pill, it raises your blood pressure. Ease of quitting may depend on several factors: how many years you have smoked, how much you smoke, and how badly you want to quit. (Yes, you have to want to or it’s not going to happen just because you know you should.) I smoked 30 years and kept having chest colds, and bronchitis, and feared every winter. My doctor told me if I didn’t quit, I would probably end up with emphysema or cancer.
I quit cold turkey when I had a respiratory infection with asthma that lasted 6 weeks. I decided that if that little cigarette was causing all that misery I would stop before I ended up in a wheel chair or worse.
I never smoked another cigarette again. But, most people need medication to help them quit, and there are some good ones now, including the patch. I would ask your doctor to write a prescription if you are serious about it. I also went to the gym 3 times per week because I was nervous, and it kept me from gaining weight (for some reason you crave sweets). Good luck; it’s worth it. Not only will you live longer, but healthier.
havent heard that ..same i geuss..
I think it is equal. You may just know more men who smoke then women.
things faster and their liver may detox the cigarette faster so they are less addicted.
