The American researchers result data that about 45 % of smokers try to give up smoking every year. Thus attempts and remain attempts. Scientists indefatigably search for a way to help smokers to get rid of a bad habit.
One of last ways suggests to try to give up smoking by means of a computer game which is constructed by a principle of the training apparatus, helping to train skills of disposal of a bad habit.
Game has been tested during experiment in which have involved 91 smokers with the experience. Experiment of 12 weeks lasted. The first group of smoking people in number of 46 persons was engaged in that on the computer screen extinguished virtual cigarettes a virtual hand. The second group (accordingly 45 persons) on the computer screen was engaged in catching of balls. Experiment results are very indicative: in the first group by the end of experiment 15 % have refused cigarettes, in the second group their quantity equaled only 2 %.
In half a year after experiment has been finished, in the first group the quantity given up smoking has reached 39 %, and in 20 % second only. Scientists predict success of this method, hoping that disks with antinicotinic game will appear on free sale.
Let's remind that, according to the American scientists, transition of the smoker to more light cigarettes containing less of pitches and nicotine, conducts to that will give up smoking to it much more difficult. One more research has proved that light cigarettes practically do not differ from usual on degree of influence on an organism of the smoker.

To smokers. Do not throw stubs of cigarettes from a balcony
The stub which has been thrown out from a balcony, has fallen to back glass parked Audi, was went in a crack that without ceremony could become a cause of the fire.
If the smoking stub was noticed by passers-by and in time have not put out, not cheap car would turn to a torch.
In my house ladder marches are separated from lifts to get on a ladder, it is necessary to pass through a survey balcony. These survey balconies with decorative six-coal apertures settle down just over an entrance porch. Apparently, these balconies have very much attracted to fans of cigarettes. Very much, whether know, "pleasantly" happens, expensive smokers when you go out of doors, and absolutely near to you the burning stub falls!

Some disadvantages of natural wood, such as knots, dark spots, holes, cracks, humidors detracts from the appearance, and only the best looking specimens humidors are selected for an elite product.

Smoking may be useful?
Tobacco was brought to Europe from South America in the 16 century. Despite the existing ban on smoking in those days of the churches and governments, tobacco smoking has become a widespread habit among the population of European countries.
It goes well the structure of tobacco smoke. There have identified about 500 substances in it. But the main pharmacologically active substances were nicotine (acute effects) and resin (chronic action).
Known about the small number of diseases that develop in smokers less likely than non-smokers!
These include: toxaemia of pregnancy, postoperative pulmonary embolism (blood vessel occlusion - a dangerous complication), Parkinson's disease, ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer's disease (for smokers never develop!). In addition, the frequency of endometrial cancer slightly lower in female smokers than nonsmokers. Yet it must be emphasized that these minor beneficial effects can not be compared with the risk caused by the constant smoking! Everyone knows that smoking causes severe forms of many diseases.

Smoking and hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer
Smoking hundreds of cigarettes significantly increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
At the next stage of research, scientists are going to find out what impact the development of breast cancer has a number of smoked cigarettes.
The team of scientists from the Mayo Clinic (USA) compared the risk factors in 1 225 women, breast cancer patients, and the 6 872 patients whose disease is not diagnosed. The results showed 10% of the subjects smoked at the time of the experiment, 9% separated from the pernicious habit some time ago, while 81% had never been had. In women who had smoked in total during the life of a hundred or more cigarettes, the risk of the disease was much higher than the others.
However, the probability of occurrence of malignant tumors in the breast is markedly reduced, as only a woman stop smoking.
It was also found that oral contraceptives for 11 years or more increases the risk of developing breast cancer by 200%. In women who received postmenopausal hormone therapy, the risk increased by 81%. In addition, each year the life of the likelihood of cancer increases by 2%. A hysterectomy (removal of uterus), by contrast, reduces the risk by 35%.
At the next stage of research, scientists are going to find out what impact the development of breast cancer have a smoking in pre-and postmenopausal period, the number of cigarettes smoked and passive smoking.
Recall also that smoking cessation rapidly reduces the risk of heart disease. Within a few weeks after the rejection of cigarettes among women reduced the level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and two other related substances. In addition, the content decreases in blood C-reactive protein (CRP), whose presence indicates inflammation in the body, and interleukin-6, also participates in the immune response and inflammatory reaction.

Filter of cigarette
The filter cigarette was a specialty item until 1954, when manufact
urers introduced it broadly following a spate of speculative announcements from doctors and researchers concerning a possible link between lung diseases and smoking. Reacting to smokers' voiced fears and sudden reduced cigarette consumption, cigarette companies, by altering the filter's structure and materials, began making competing claims about how low their brands' tar and nicotine levels were. Some cigarettes today boast the inclusion of a "charcoal filter" in addition to the more common dense, synthetic fiber filters seen in almost all filter cigarettes. Manufacturers claim that charcoal filters, which contain bits of charcoal embedded within the fiber filters, reduce certain toxins in the smoke. But no evidence exists that these cigarettes are significantly less dangerous for the user. Most filter cigarettes also bear ventilation holes punched around the circumference of the filter tip. (Regular cigarettes might feature one ring of ventilation holes, while light and ultra-light cigarettes of the same brand might have two or more rings.) These tiny holes, which you can see by holding the unrolled paper up to a bright light, can allow enough fresh air into the smoke that such cigarettes can test quite low in tar and nicotine levels when smoked by machines, which do not cover the holes. However, smokers' fingers or lips often cover some of these holes as they puff, giving them much higher doses of tar and nicotine than advertised. According to critics of the tobacco industry, the holes create a flexible dosing system that allows addicted smokers to maintain the tar and nicotine levels they crave while believing they are receiving lower, safer doses.
