There is a saying that goes something like this: "You can smoke your life away." Or also: "Smoking is a daily deadly habit." I should rather say: "Smoke and you will see no sweet yoke!" Smoky! But so true: That's now a fact that the effect of both active smoking and second-hand smoking is on the rise in the risk of breast cancer. 

Tobacco smoke is much more potent in causing breast cancer than it is in causing either lung cancer or heart disease. The majority of all breast cancers are caused by tobacco smoke, a forty percent through active smoking and half of it due to second-hand smoking. But in all cases the importance of knowing the numbers is not enough. People keep smoking their lives away even knowing about the hazard and ugly effects it may cause to their health and of their family's health, for as much as someone in their family doesn't touch a cigarette, they breath the same poisoned air and may be contaminated as well; and that's what we call the passive smokers. 

An air polluted by carbon monoxide doesn't harm as much as the nicotine/cotinine combination does. And yet pollution in the big city is considered one of the major problems that causes heart and lung diseases. We cannot avoid but fear the serious effect of passive smoking on coronary heart disease. But clearly enough tobacco-smoke poisons are number one in reference to women's breasts. And worst of all, mothers are poisoning their own children when babies who breast-feed from women who are active or second-hand smokers swallow the harmful chemicals. I am afraid that even knowing about all that, women still insist on grabbing the next cigarette they find in their purse, even learning about how important tobacco smoke is in causing breast cancer. 

Thanks to the nicotine, smoking can become more than an addiction, haunting women with a vicious like a gargantuan monster that takes them earlier to the grave. For I am sure it needs more than having a very good reason to stop smoking either actively or at second-hand. Instead of taking the next tube of suicide bomb, women should touch their breast first to not only verify if there is no tumor, if their breasts are not a hairbreadth of being extirpated, but also to remember of their responsibility towards the feeding of a humanity free from hazardous acts. Also it is important to find a health activity that will keep women away from the thought of smoking, for a cigarette not only makes one believe that it maintains a slim figure (go figure out how) it also gives the illusionary image of making oneself more comfortable and relaxed. 

So all activities concerning the mind and body will be of some benefit to all. From bicycling, taking a walk to energize and purify mind and breath, to just sit still and meditate will improve the hearts and lungs health. Any active measure of staying away from tobacco is indeed a blessing cause. Women should think first of their own health and, by giving just a small step to recover their own self-image, by a simple act of taking care of themselves, they can in the long run bring together the whole world for a healthier life style. 

By doing so those of childbearing age will be protecting themselves from breast cancer and will be lowering the amount of tobacco-smoke poisons babies are taking in through breast-feeding. Mothers must be encouraged to take the positive step of avoiding active and second-hand smoking for the sake of their infants and of humanity and the future of civilization. That's why I recommend exercises for your body, mind and soul. There is no better way of loosing weight, of keeping that glow on the skin (not due to sweating, to be clear) and feeling invigorated than dancing all day!
