Effects of Smoking Cessation with developing Cancer
How much risk is reduced depends on the number of years a person smoked, the number of cigarettes smoked in one day, the age at which smoking began and the presence or absence of disease at the time of quitting. Research has shown that people who quit smoking before age 35 reduce their risk of developing a disease related to snuff by 90 percent. Even smokers who quit smoking before age 50 significantly reduced their risk of dying from a disease related to snuff.

Senate backs compromise on smoking
The chamber that represents Switzerland's cantons joined the House of Representatives in approving a compromise package on the smoking issue.
It permits smoking in small restaurants and bars with a surface area of less than 80 square metres, but there are strict conditions.
Rooms where smoking is allowed have to be well ventilated and clearly marked for the purpose, and restaurateurs will have to seek official permission for them.
Smokers may also be served food and drinks in such rooms, but this has to be written into the terms of employment of serving staff.
The smoking issue in Switzerland is complex because the country's 26 cantons have their own say too.
Only last Sunday cantons Zurich and Basel City voted in favour of legislation to permit smoking rooms in restaurants... but without service. A number of other cantons, including Fribourg, Valais and Vaud are also set to vote on the issue.

Stop Smoking Now

Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction.Once You Start, It's Hard to Stop
Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal.
People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all.
There are no physical reasons to start smoking. The body doesn't need tobacco the way it needs food, water, sleep, and exercise. In fact, many of the chemicals in cigarettes, like nicotine and cyanide, are actually poisons that can kill in high enough doses.
The body is smart. It goes on the defense when it's being poisoned. For this reason, many people find it takes several tries to get started smoking: First-time smokers often feel pain or burning in the throat and lungs, and some people feel sick or even throw up the first few times they try tobacco.
The consequences of this poisoning happen gradually. Over the long term, smoking leads people to develop health problems like cancer, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), organ damage, and heart disease. These diseases limit a person's ability to be normally active — and can be fatal. Each time a smoker lights up, that single cigarette takes about 5 to 20 minutes off the person's life.there are treatments such as zyban that help people brake the habbit in a healthy way
