You're a couple of weeks in... You're feeling good about your decision to quit ... But some thing's just not quite right... You feel "dizzy". Maybe not quite dizzy, but like you've had a beer or two. You're "off". You don't feel quite right. You can't concentrate. Reading is difficult and typing is damn near impossible.

Welcome to the fog ladies and gentlemen. I can tell you that it will pass. I can't tell you when. I can't tell you how foggy it will be... But...

Everyone has their own individual story to tell as to why they want to quit cannabis. My reason was because I had gotten into a rut of smoking it all day, every day. Late at night or early morning, utterly convinced I enjoyed it, I would sit, roll and smoke joint after joint. As the years rolled on cannabis seemed more like self-prescribed medication to keep me calm than the fun, recreational drug I once considered it to be. Knocking on my dealer’s door became a symbol of need and...

Across the globe there are people that smoke marijuana as if it were a religion. It is the most used illegal drug worldwide.

There is no drug like it, marijuana provides the most tranquil feeling I have ever experienced. But marijuana slowly took control of my life, it became a daily habit and my life changed for the worse. At the time, I didn't even notice.

Are the relaxing properties of marijuana worth all of this? I don't think so, not even close. I chose to...

There is strong medical evidence that smoking tobacco is related to more than two dozen diseases and conditions. It has negative effects on nearly every organ of the body and reduces overall health. Smoking tobacco remains the leading cause of preventable death and has negative health impacts on people of all ages: unborn babies, infants, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors.

Smoking leads people to develop health problems like cancer, emphysema (breakdown of lung...

Non smokers don’t understand why smokers don’t simply throw away their cigarettes and be done with it. Smokers do not do this because smoking tobacco isn’t simply a bad habit. It is incredibly addictive. Health professionals believe that it is just as addictive as any street drug, and because it is legal, people tend to believe that it is less harmful then it really is.

When the chemicals in cigarettes are inhaled, they reach the smoker’s bloodstream,...

For so many years now we have know that smoking while pregnant is not healthy, but smoking has been a part of our lives, regardless of whether we smoke or not. And for that it has been a detrimental factor in everybody's lives; sad to say, that includes the unborn babies.

Surveys show that many mothers are still smoking while pregnant. They contend that it does not affect their baby at all. In most instances, these are the mothers that do not care for their unborn child,...

Smoking cigarettes is a habit that is hard to get over with for most people. Just like any other form of addiction, smoking cigarettes causes your body to develop a dependency on a particular chemical, in this case nicotine. Nicotine patches can help you get rid of smoking cigarettes but it doesn't get rid of your dependency on nicotine and that's why it doesn't work for many people as it still essentially the same.

So what do you need to do? Easy! All you need to do is what...

The human brain, weighing over three pounds, influences everything a person does. Whether or not you may realize it, your brain is not the same brain as it was a month ago or even as it was yesterday. In fact, your brain is a constantly changing with new collection of cell. When you have any form of new experience, from learning new math topics to seeing a new TV show, new synapses form. Some of these synapses can get stronger, whereas some can disappear.

Your brain also enables...

I have never been a smoker and never want to be. I do, however, think that it should be mostly illegal. The fact that smoking kills thousands upon thousands upon thousands of smokers a year is really irrelevant because it's their own choice, no one is forcing them to do it. They knew that if they did this they stood a good chance of an early, most likely painful death. So, they have the right and the freedom to...
