The health risks after quitting are the things an ex-smoker has to be aware of once they are off the habit of smoking. The use of tobacco has put them at risk for diseases like cancer even if they have quit. If you have health care providers, you should let them know of your history of tobacco use so that they will know what preventive measures to offer you to ensure you stay healthy as much as possible. They can set aside a part of your health care which will cater to tobacco use related illnesses.

One way of having preventive maintenance measures is by regular check-ups with your doctor or dentist. Whenever you visit them, make sure they include checking your mouth, tongue and throat as changes on these areas may indicate certain diseases or even cancer. By taking note of the changes at these areas earlier, it can make treatment of tobacco related-illnesses still possible or find cancer at an earlier stage where it can still be treated.

The most common cancer to hit smokers and ex-smokers is lung cancer. Unfortunately, most people who acquire it do not feel any symptoms until the cancer has affected all other vital organs. At this stage it might be too late for treatment. It helps to remember some signs of lung cancer so that you can immediately inform your doctor about them and proper therapy can be administered as early as possible:

· Coughing of blood

· A new cough

· Chest pains

· Loss of appetite

· Trouble in breathing

· Feeling tired most of the time

· Sudden loss of weight

· Frequent headaches

· Bronchial and lung infections that never heal

Tobacco users usually have higher risk of lung cancer and other cancers as well. It is best that you equip yourself with information regarding these possible illnesses so that you'll know how to deal with them if ever they happen to you. Knowing the extra risks brought about by your history of tobacco use can make you well-prepared to battle any of them.

The risks after quitting smoking are all serious matters that an ex-smoker should face. Because of being once addicted to nicotine, you might pay the price of your once foolish habit. If ever you have concerns related to tobacco use, see your health care provider immediately. Always remember that the best way to stay healthy and to live longer is by completely halting your smoking habit. Don't ever make the mistake of going back to it as you'll only end up putting into waste everything that you have worked hard for to overcome your addiction.
