What do women smoke? Your girlfriend smokes - how to get her to quit? How smoking is harmful for women

Click the lighter, take a deep drag, and painful problems fly away in rings of smoke. A stylish pack of cigarettes, a glamorous lighter, and a souvenir ashtray have become attributes of a woman’s image and lifestyle. Women smoke on the street, in the park, in cafes, on the playground, in the office, in the cinema and on billboards.

At the same time, doctors and public organizations urge women to give up this habit, citing statistical data on female mortality and oncology. We know that smoking is dangerous, but the number of women smoking continues to rise.

Smoking, which was considered a purely male activity, with the flourishing of women's emancipation became widespread in Europe, America, Russia and, gradually, throughout the world. Tobacco manufacturers, who receive billions of dollars in profits from the sale of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, and accessories for their use, have developed and introduced into all layers of society a special subculture that creates the image of a successful, strong, sexy hero.

Once exclusively male, smoking has become female

Well informed but stubborn

IN last years Cigarette advertising campaigns are more targeted at women. Today, 30% of women in Russia smoke, many of them started smoking at the age of 12. Public organizations, frightened by statistics, conduct active propaganda healthy image life. Almost every woman who smokes is informed about the dangerous changes in the body that smoking tobacco causes. Doctors have proven that tobacco smoking is the cause of many diseases, such as cancer, asthma, disorders of the cardiovascular system, and a host of hereditary diseases. In 96.99% of cases of lung cancer, the cause of the disease is smoking, which is not surprising since tobacco smoke contains more than 40 substances that cause cancer. Every year, more than 500 thousand women die from the consequences of smoking in developed countries.

Only 35% of women quit smoking.

Unconscious motives and imposed stereotypes

Smoking changes a woman very quickly. The skin turns yellow and ages because its cells do not receive nutrients in sufficient quantity. Teeth, nails and hair deteriorate, and an unpleasant odor appears. Immunity is sharply reduced - acute respiratory infections, and influenza epidemics are no longer avoided. General health worsens - increased fatigue, shortness of breath, vegetative-vascular dystonia interfere with leading an active and fulfilling lifestyle. But according to the same statistics, only 35% of women quit smoking, and the remaining 65% continue to destroy themselves every day.

• Firstly, this is a woman’s unconscious desire to compete with a man, realized in the development of “masculine” attributes and habits.
• Secondly, this is the implementation of styles and images introduced by tobacco company advertising - a successful and sexy woman “from the cover”.
• Thirdly, this is compensation for a complex of self-doubt, and the desire to control one’s life - through violating “prohibitions”.
• Fourthly, it is a way of responding to stress formed in childhood (during early weaning breastfeeding, or pacifier abuse).

The decision to quit smoking is a step towards improving the quality of life

How to quit smoking? Take the first step

The decision to quit smoking is one of the most important in a woman’s life; by making it, we make a choice about the quality of life. The decision lies in the same plane as choosing a permanent life partner, having a child, or buying a house. In order to rise to a new level of quality of life, you need to go through several steps on the ladder of change.

1 First stage– study and acceptance of oneself. Here it is necessary to understand what exactly smoking tobacco does to the body and quality of life. It is important to realize how internal ideas about oneself are appearance, state of health, attitude of others correspond to the actual state of affairs. To start? - just take a sheet of paper and fold it in half. On the one hand, describe your idea of ​​yourself, for example: “I am completely healthy,” “My skin looks amazing,” “My teeth are yellow, of course, but they can be whitened,” and so on. Then, on the second side, you need to describe as honestly as possible how you look at yourself through someone else’s eyes. “My husband doesn’t like the fact that I smell bad”; “I often go on sick leave - my boss is dissatisfied with me”; “I can’t explain to my son why I cough in the morning”; “I smoke 40 cigarettes a day”; “My lungs are clogged with tar,” “I can’t get rid of excess weight,” and so on. Without an objective look at yourself, you cannot go further. You can use a mirror, run behind the bus, call honest girlfriends, friends and parents for a frank conversation. When the information has been collected, unfold the sheet and begin self-analysis. The first stage makes it possible to understand yourself – your capabilities and limitations. Here we look at the facts, causes and consequences of smoking and the impact of cigarettes on life.

2 Second stage makes a choice - how to live further? At the second stage, an important decision is made - a healthy, fulfilling life, or a lifelong sacrifice of oneself to the spirit of the tobacco leaf. If you have done a good job at the first stage, and the difference between what you want and what is actually there is obvious, the choice is obvious: “I’m quitting smoking!”

3 Third stage cleanses the body and thoughts. First of all, cigarettes, a lighter, an ashtray are solemnly thrown into the trash can, in front of the whole family. Once the decision has been made, it makes no sense to quit smoking by gradually reducing the number of cigarettes. Cleansing herbal preparations, a bath, and vitamins will help you get rid of physical dependence. As a last resort, treatment prescribed by a toxicologist, a nicotine patch or chewing gum. Psychotherapy sessions, hypnosis, meditation, and new healthy habits will help you get rid of psychological addiction. At this stage it is important to immediately engage active look sports - running, cycling, skiing, tennis. Exercising will very quickly get your body in shape, cleanse your lungs and train your heart. Regular activity is best combined with a contrast shower - it will restore the immune system, improve skin condition and vascular tone.

4 Fourth stage- improving the quality of life. Quitting smoking has already brought a lot of opportunities - free money and time. The body feels much better - lightness has appeared, attacks of weakness and dizziness have passed, shortness of breath and morning cough are no longer bothersome. Taste and smell became more acute, and men began to compliment her. This stage offers new opportunities – hobbies that you couldn’t afford before. For example, diving, skydiving, cycling, mountaineering. The desire to smoke will still arise - in moments of stress, sadness, or when there is nothing to do with yourself. Yoga and Qi Gong will help you cope with stress and bring your body and soul into a harmonious state. Instead of a cigarette - breathing exercises, herbal tea, walking the dog, and tennis with friends.

5 Fifth stage– a review of the past and an open look into the future. The ladder of change led to the goal - life has already become different. At the last stage - even if you try to take a drag out of curiosity - the cigarette becomes a source of unpleasant sensations. Acrid smoke, an unpleasant lingering odor from the fingers, an aftertaste and nausea - this is what actually does to healthy body cigarette. The fifth stage gives you the opportunity to highly appreciate yourself and your capabilities. An opportunity to feel strong and free. He is the one who controls himself and his life.

It is no longer inappropriate to call modern women the weaker sex. They are successfully engaged in business and rise to leadership positions in large companies, are rapidly conquering career heights. After centuries of male domination, new opportunities are finally opening up for women, but they also face dangers. Many women are disappointed that they cannot take full advantage of this freedom and independence. And the reason for this is smoking.

Is a cigarette a girl’s enemy or friend?

Why do girls smoke cigarettes? After all, it’s no longer a secret to anyone that smoking has an extremely negative effect on one’s appearance. Therefore, it is very surprising why girls start smoking? Well-groomed and attractive, they go for a run or do yoga every morning, and on weekends they go to spa centers. They try Thai massage, mud masks and other procedures, without thinking that problems with appearance are primarily associated with smoking.

Why can't girls smoke? Aging skin, wrinkles, unhealthy complexion, ugly teeth, bad breath and bad smell from clothes - this is far from full list problems faced by smokers. Why do women smoke if they know all this? And not only your image and appearance suffer, but also your health!

Why do girls need cigarettes? For some it is an addition to their morning cup of coffee, for others it is a way to relieve nervous stress, for others it is a special image, an image. For the latter, as a rule, the ideal is the image of Audrey Hepburn in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, which is associated with wealth and luxury.

According to observations in the field of psychology, women are more likely than men to reach for a cigarette at moments of strong emotions. For men, smoking is a remedy for boredom, and women reach for a cigarette in an attempt to get rid of stress, that is, in moments of sadness, anger, and resentment. And in recent years, the life of a modern business woman has become more stressful and full of stressful situations. To this should be added the birth of children, household chores, organization family life and even rivalry with her husband. Therefore, we can safely say that girls who smoke cigarettes have their own reasons for developing nicotine addiction.

Why did women start smoking a lot?

Consolation, a source of energy, reward - this is how the fair sex perceives cigarettes. For them, this is not just tobacco neatly wrapped in paper.

Why do women smoke? Because cigarettes are not just smoke saturated with nicotine, they are a friend and comrade, a confidant. And he comes in moments of loneliness, it’s so nice to share a bottle of good wine with him. For example, after breaking up with a loved one or in other life situations when there is no one to expect consolation from.

This attractive picture, because of which a girl starts and continues to smoke a lot, is in fact an illusion that has been created by advertising and marketing for many years.

Sooner or later, any woman who smokes a lot thinks about quitting...

What should a girl do when this “soap bubble” bursts?

At some point, a cigarette stops bringing relief. But even in this situation, it is difficult to understand why women smoke a lot and continue to do so. After all, a cigarette no longer relaxes, it burdens and brings discomfort in every sense. Fortunately, at this moment many girls come to the conclusion that it’s time to start fighting this “bad habit” and are looking for methods.

For more than 30 years, Allen Carr Centers around the world have provided treatment for nicotine addiction. Carr's method belongs to the category of psychotherapy, but at the same time it has striking differences from others. It does not involve the use of willpower, but eliminates the very desire to smoke.

Why do so many women still smoke? Because they use the wrong methods. Electronic cigarettes, nicotine patches, pills, nicotine replacement therapy or hypnosis do not provide the desired effect. They can even worsen the situation with nicotine addiction.

Why did women start smoking and can't stop? As Allen Carr himself says, the problem is not in the body, it is hidden in the head. Why do people smoke? Because they still believe that a cigarette gave them something valuable in both bad and bad times. Good times, despite all the negative aspects of smoking.

Smoker calculator

How many years have you been smoking?

How many cigarettes do you smoke per day?

How much does your favorite pack of cigarettes cost?

1. Bad breath. Very unpleasant. It is enough to approach a smoking woman less than 1 meter and start talking to her. It always stinks. Even when she brushed her teeth. Even when I chewed gum. Even when I rinsed my mouth. Lungs are dirty, hygiene oral cavity there's no way around it.

2. Problems with appearance. First of all, these are skin, hair and nails. A woman who smokes has to wear a lot of makeup to look attractive. But the skin turns gray, the pores expand, the hair fades, the nails break. This is the sad truth.

3. Smoky voice, rough and hoarse. Yes, smoking negatively affects the vocal cords. Therefore, it is unlikely that a woman who smokes will have a high and clear voice. But the hoarse bass ala pirate boatswain - yes. It will always seem to you that there is a man in a skirt next to you.

4. Women who smoke are bad housewives. For a woman who pollutes her body with smoke and tar will also be irresponsible about the order in her apartment. If someone doesn’t care about dust and a pile of dirty laundry in the bathroom, then fine. But any well-mannered and clean man should not give a damn.

5. Women who smoke are poor cooks. Also a purely chemical reason. Nicotine dulls taste buds. Therefore, when tasting food while cooking, a smoking woman does not feel its taste well. And it turns out to be shit in the pan. In addition, a woman who smokes eats less. This means you will eat less. And what you eat will be shit.

6. If a woman smokes, it means she drinks. Absolutely true folk wisdom. There are, of course, exceptions that confirm general rule. But there is also a rule. A smoking woman does not drink like a horse, of course. But how much does a woman need? A drunk woman, again, as a rule, the creature is unpleasant and disgusting.

7. Unpleasant taste in the mouth. Are you going to kiss? You will. So get ready to spit a lot. The taste of a smoking woman's saliva is somewhat specific and pungent. Also constant. Even when she chews gum, the taste of menthol will be interrupted by the nasty taste of tobacco saliva.

8. If a woman drinks, that means the woman is... But here’s a bummer. If she also smokes, then f... she's pretty shitty. You don't have to be a chemist to understand that nicotine blocks the release of specific female hormones. Therefore, a woman who smokes has very mediocre sex. And if you also take into account the smell of your mouth and the taste of saliva...

9. A woman who smokes spends less time with you. Simple math: part of the time that she could devote to you is spent by a smoking woman on smoking breaks. Of course, you can start smoking yourself to get this dubious pleasure together, but is it worth it?

10. There is absolutely no chance of giving birth to a healthy child. Of course, there are no completely healthy children. But the child of a smoking woman will be 100% endowed with a bunch of congenital diseases. This is perhaps the most important reason, even though I put it last. Because the latter is best remembered.

In this article, I will tell you how men (in particular high-ranking ones) relate to women who smoke.

In many ways, young girls (12-20 years old) believe that smoking is fashionable, cool, modern, beautiful, sexy, this is how the girl feels like an adult, and besides, many of her friends do the same, and encourage (incite) her too to start, besides, many young padawans (boys) do this, and the girl thinks that they will like her this way, “will be in the know with them, communicate, walk, have fun,” well, in general, etc. and so on. Only these young girls don’t understand what stupidity they are doing.

Yes, if the opposite sex likes it = absolutely normal. This natural process, embedded in the genes of absolutely every person. But, smoking is not normal.

Now I’ll tell you how things really are (for men) with girls who smoke.

Remember: smoking woman = easily accessible low-ranking whore.

If you, a man, fuck or, even worse, date (build a relationship) with such a creature, then you are the same low-ranking spineless sucker. You mean nothing and she means nothing...

Here, as I like to say, there is a pair for each creature, and they receive what they are.

High-ranking men, really worthy guys, wealthy, with money, smart, developing, with ambitions, with goals, with comprehensive success in life = they don’t even pay attention to this smoking husk. Pay attention only low-mid rank and for the most part, to stick it to a girl. Fuck her, because they simply cannot get a worthy high-ranking woman)).

That's why they have to pick up scraps by eating low-ranking smoking carrion. And honey, even in this case, all these low-mid rankers treat you like a whore for one or more times. Do you understand, no? You're just being used. You will just walk from hand to hand.

Not a single normal man would consider a smoking girl (woman) for a long-term relationship, not one, because smoking has a lot of consequences. The meaning (goal) of the relationship (as such) = the birth of a child, the birth of children, prolongation of the family line (offspring). Understand?

So, you, dear (if you smoke) = you won’t be able to give birth healthy child. A bunch of various serious pathologies, e-mae, mentally retarded, stillborn, disabled, etc. and so on. and all of them are related to your smoking. Listen, I'm not even talking about how you harm yourself with your smoking:

• Infertility
• Cardiovascular diseases
• Gangrene
• Visual impairment (tobacco amblyopia)
• Chronic bronchitis, emphysema.
• Peptic ulcers
• Lung damage and dysfunction
• Development of infectious respiratory tract(respiratory organs)

Although, probably, this doesn’t mean anything to you and doesn’t bother you at all, because on the packs they directly write “SMOKING KILLS” and you don’t give a damn. It's just that)) I'm not even talking about the fact that your mouth stinks, your teeth become yellow, rotten, etc. I’m just keeping quiet about it... although for me, even this is a quiet horror)).

Men (even mid-ranking ones) will not consider you for the long term. For a couple of times. For some time. Yes. But, considered as a mother and wife = no. You are not profitable. Dot. There may be a low-ranking spineless drug addict next to you. But, something more worthy = no.

When a girl (woman) smokes, she thereby shows that she is easily accessible. Who is easily accessible? This is bullshit, to put it simply. This is low ranking. This is a bright SIGNAL for men. Who is easier to photograph, a smoking whore or a truly beautiful woman, well-groomed, bright, beautiful, smart, etc. ?

The answer is obvious. As a result, low- and mid-ranking males flock to this signal like flies to shit.

But not a high-ranking man. He cannot (ever in his life) fall for this. On the contrary, it repels him. Instant rejection occurs. He can’t even just fuck (let alone build some kind of relationship: D) a LOW-RANKING (on the topic, a smoker), because she will lower his self-esteem, and, as a result, self-confidence. In general, lower his status.

A high-ranking man would never do such a thing, because he internal state he will not be allowed to do this. The vast majority of men will not understand this. What an internal state. Why won't he allow it? Because the absolute majority are LOW-RANK and MIDDLE-RANKED! When (if) you upgrade yourself to a high rank level, you will understand what I said...

It is not even pleasant for a high-ranking person to be next to a smoking woman. Disgusting. High-ranking people love, value and respect themselves very much. And they surround themselves with the same people. Let's not scum.

Besides, it makes no sense for a high-ranking man to fuck low-ranking and mid-ranking men. For what?

Next to a high-ranking man = high-ranking women (worthy, bright, beautiful, smart, well-groomed, classy young ladies). Why fuck average people or even carrion when there are worthy ones? 🙂

Remember: for a high-ranking man, a girl (woman) who smokes = not a girl (not a woman) at all. A high-ranking man does not perceive such people at all (he won’t even look, even at fucking). To him, she is an easily accessible low-ranking whore. That's it. Goodbye.

Therefore, only low-ranking and mid-ranking males look at and stare at smokers. They are the ones who pick up all these scraps. Trash. Damn. Smoking. Because they don’t care about fucking anyone, they just want to stick you in. Fuck you. Do you understand? And then, remember: this is for a while, for a long time urgently - no.

Therefore, draw your own conclusions. I told you how it is. Hard? Yes, tough. But it's true. If you want a high-ranking male, become a high-ranking female yourself. And vice versa. And so, as I said earlier, each creature has a pair and they get what they are...

Concluding, for girls (women):

• 1) If you smoke = you are a low-ranking whore. Trash. Ugh.
• 2) There will never be a worthy high-ranking man next to you, there won’t even be a middle-ranking one next to you, only the very rabble, low-ranking suckers.
• 3) Serious relationship Hardly anyone will build with you, you will walk from hand to hand.
• 4) In the end, if they ask you to marry, it will be those same low-ranking suckers.
• 5) By smoking, you are killing your health. Your femininity. Beauty. Your strength in this world.
• 5) Quit smoking - develop yourself comprehensively and upgrade to a high-ranking level! And your life will change.

In conclusion, for men:

• 1) Fucking a smoking whore = you are the same low-ranking, spineless damage.
• 2) If you yourself smoke = you are low-ranking, and accordingly, you will never see a high-ranking woman in your life. So you will spend all the time mediocre or even carrion.
• 3) Develop comprehensively and upgrade to a high-ranking level! And your life will change.

P.s. I specifically wrote the article in such a tough style, without political correctness, etc., because very often, for good reason, it doesn’t reach the absolute majority. Change people. Work on yourself. Develop yourself. Get better. Etc. and so on. At least follow my section:

PPs. Homo sapiens is a reasonable person (although, I would say, not completely reasonable), because we have an emotional instinctive component (which can overcome reason). I’m telling this so that the comments (explosion of farts) under this article = will show us all who is who :)

Best regards, administrator.

That's right, today's article will talk about girls, cigarettes and smoking. I think you could have repeatedly seen a girl with a cigarette in her mouth on the street or in a club. Some are against this, because girls are expectant mothers, but there are also those who approve of girls smoking. IN modern society the opinion has developed that a girl who smokes achieves everything more easily by attracting attention to herself.

Today, young girls want to look liberated and independent. Many of them believe that smoking cigarettes is a fashionable addition to their modern image. Not everyone has enough common sense and basic medical knowledge to understand the harm they cause to their health by picking up a cigarette.

They have no idea that in a few years only memories will remain of their beauty.

Just five cigarettes a day are enough, and the smoker’s skin, due to constant oxygen deprivation, will become gray and dull, and circles under the eyes will appear much faster than those of non-smoking girlfriends. Hair will become dull, teeth will turn yellow, and nails will begin to break off and peel. All of the above concerns only female beauty, needless to say about the risks of being left without children.

Smoking and pregnancy

According to statistics, women who smoke about ten cigarettes a day are twice as likely to remain infertile as non-smokers. The egg accumulates all the harmful substances that tobacco smoke introduces into the body, and the ability to fertilize is lost.

There is nothing worse than a woman trying to kill her child. But this is exactly what all pregnant women who smoke do. Fortunately, most pregnant ladies try to quit this bad habit during pregnancy. But almost always the child manages to receive a dose of poison, because not everyone succeeds in quitting smoking, even temporarily.

Why do girls smoke

First of all, it must be said that the reasons for the development of smoking addiction in absolutely everyone who smokes, whether boys or girls, are hidden in the upbringing and environment of such a person in childhood. Influence environment and lack of education are the main factors in a teenager's decision to start smoking.

If the mother smokes, the daughter will also start smoking, because children tend to imitate adults. Girls follow fashion in everything, and the media today impose on society the idea that young people, especially girls, look more attractive with a cigarette in their mouth. The same glossies and various fashion magazines print photos of celebrities with cigarettes, and the child, seeing this and not realizing that it is harmful, tries to imitate his idols.

To assert yourself through a good education and high intelligence, you need to study for a long time and read a lot. It’s not a fact that you will be noticed in society even after this. It’s much easier to pick up a cigarette, slowly bring it to the lighter, showing off your impeccable manicure at the same time, and blow a ring of smoke from your brightly painted lips.

All these gestures attract the attention of men, and it is beneficial for girls to consider smoking as a norm of behavior. Alas, the thought that this is the beginning of a chain, the first link of which is a cigarette, and the last link is lung cancer and the collapse of all hopes, does not flash in their minds.

It's no secret that smoking has become a part of our everyday life. Scientists express the opinion that this bad habit has become one of the types social behavior of people.

How to try to stop a girl from smoking

I can’t say that at least one of these tips will help your loved one leave this bad habit, and yet, if you care about your girlfriend, I’m sure you will try to do everything possible and impossible for this.

If the habit of smoking has become a necessity for a girl, it will not be possible to forcibly wean her off it. Any pressure leads to confrontation. First of all, you need to show patience and care. It is advisable to develop an action plan. Let your girlfriend, daughter or granddaughter know that her smoking habit is making you suffer.

If a girl really loves you, sooner or later she will think about how to solve this problem. In order for her to quickly understand how harmful smoking affects her health, try to discreetly give her specialized literature to read, and unobtrusively give examples of the negative impact of an addiction.

If a girl who smokes cannot realize that with her habit she creates discomfort for the people who surround her and who love her, she will have to resort to another method, a more radical one.

I warn you right away that after using it there may be Negative consequences. And the method itself is to give an ultimatum - either smoking, or something that the girl incredibly values: love for you, favorite food, business, person, restriction of freedom, etc. And the negative consequences lie in the fact that there is a possibility that something from the list given earlier will prevail. Therefore, you need to be very careful with this method.

A girl can quit smoking only when she realizes that she needs it. No matter how many books by Alan Carr she read, no matter how much advice she listened to, everything will be useless until she herself wants it.

When a girl agrees to give up her smoking habit, help her with your advice. It is important! You must always be on hand and, in case of “danger,” stop the hand reaching for a cigarette.

You should not quit smoking immediately, but gradually, during this period you should drink more water, and also do breathing exercises every day.

Be that as it may, remember: when a girl smokes, she gradually kills not only herself, but also all those children she could give birth to. Smoking is a harmful habit, and you should get rid of it if only in order to raise healthy and happy children.
