Recent data from the UK reveals that 12.9% of the population are current smokers, while 9.1% use e-cigarettes or vaping products, with 37% of these individuals also being smokers.
Smoking is identified as the leading cause of preventable diseases in the UK, resulting in an average reduction of 10 years in life expectancy for smokers. Each year of smoking beyond the age of 40 diminishes life expectancy by three months, with smoking closely linked to serious health conditions such as cancer, lung, and heart disease.
Despite being aware of the health risks, why do we still find it so hard to quit?
Contrary to popular belief, smoking does not alleviate stress but can actually contribute to feelings of anxiety and stress by depleting feel-good chemicals, potentially leading to severe depression and anxiety in the future.
While nicotine is often perceived as a significant physical addiction, if this were so how are smokers able to sleep through the night without getting up for a cigarette or go on a long-haul flight Research suggests that less than 10% of the addiction is actually physical, with the remainder being an automatic habit controlled by the subconscious mind.
Quitting smoking is the single biggest thing you can do to improve your overall health. Within just 20 minutes your heart rate will return to normal, within 48 hours all carbon monoxide will be flushed out of your body and after 72 hours your breathing will start to feel easier.
