Thank
you for loving my blog “tips for healthy teeth and gums”. I
wanted to write something on Anti-tobacco Day as well. Tell me, how
much we love our father? And why not? He is our Idol. Is he really
our idol. Yes, we learn from our idols. But what if he is a chain
smoker? Isn't it disgusting?
My
friend, Jane was very disturbed by the smoking habit of her dad and
nearly every day there used to be a fight in their house lest I
suggested her some food that would lessen the craving for smoking.
Within a month after taking this food plan, my friend’s family was
a real happy family. I wanna share with you the list of
diseases and consequences that generates while smoking:-
- Bronchitis and Emphysema
- Impotence
- Lung Cancer
- Mouth Diseases
- Heart Disease
- Strokes
- Miscarriage
On
the Anti-tobacco Day, I would like to share some food items that will
help to quit smoking. And the best part is that it really works if
the diet is taken seriously and regularly. Tobacco contains nicotine.
You are right, the nicotine in tobacco is what people are addicted
to. Many people like Jane’s father can quit smoking, then why not
you or your loved ones. Impossible is nothing, it’s just about the
will power and the magic of the selected food.
