Smoking Could Make You Deaf

Just when you reckoned you knew all the reasons why you should quit smoking another research project has come up with another one! A new survey done by the world famous Yale University in America shows that young people and teenagers who smoke or who are often exposed to passive smoke are more likely to have an issue with interpreting and focusing on particular sounds when background noise is present. This could mean that they have a problem in communicating and hearing people talking to them.

The researchers who looked at the volunteers by scanning their brains saw that there were clear changes in the part of the brain which is known to send messages. The researchers speculated that the nicotine drug could be responsible for changing the structure of brain matter. It is well known that smoking can clog up the arteries and therefore restrict blood flow to certain parts of the body. The brain like all human organs needs a healthy supply of blood and failure to get it can be catastrophic. People who smoke are more likely to suffer from strokes, cardio disease and circulation problems.
If you are having problems quitting you may find that reminding yourself of the terrible illnesses that smoking can cause can help you with your motivation. The list is endless and includes eye disease, dementia and even hair loss! It is extremely unlikely that you will make it to the finish of your life smoking without suffering or dying from some smoking related problem.
Everyone eventually regrets smoking no matter what they say at the present time and there will definitely be a time when they will rue the day that they ever lit up that first cigarette. Don’t wait to get sick! Take the bull by the horns and join the thousands of people every year who choose to take back their health into their own hands and quit smoking for good.

yeah, if "extremely unlikely" is defined to be .33 percent. Don't get me wrong, that's pretty big risk. But let's not use end-justifies-the-mean tactics with subconscious manipulation.
