Seven More Reasons To Quit Smoking

Seven More Reasons To Quit Smoking


The younger generations, think of smoking as part of being cool. While some believe that smoking adds appeal to a man's rogue effect, women who smoke are regarded as sophisticated. Not all can have the same opinion to these, yet one thing is quite agreeable, that smoking can be very bad for the body's physical features. Smoking can robe a person's good looks and youth. Smoking may cause the following:


Dry and fragile skin: Smoking reduces the water content of the skin’s outer layer.



Wrinkles around the nose and mouth: Chemicals is cigarette such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar and lead reduce blood flow to the skin, reducing circulating of oxygen and break down the skin’s collagen and elastin.



Risk of Psoriasis: Psoriasis is a disease that causes red scaly patches to appear on the skin. It can be usually seen in the skin of the elbows and knees, but can also affect any area including the scalp and genitals. Studies reveal that the risk of psoriasis was 37% higher among past smokers and 78% higher among current smokers.



Skin cancer: Smokers are more than three times more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma of the skin than non-smokers. Smoking induces skin cancer by holding back the immune system. And patients with suppressed immune systems are more susceptible to squamous cell carcinoma in many locations, including the skin.



Hair loss: Hair is able to grow because of hair follicles. The dermal papilla, which are near the bottom of hair follicles, are responsible for creating new cells. The new cells shove themselves upward, moving the old cells upward. When the cells reach the middle of the hair follicle, they die out and become hard. They become the central core of the hair follicle and afterward, become the new hair shaft. Smoking prevents dermal papilla from growing. This hinders the hair from growing.



Yellow teeth: Nicotine and tar leaves a sticky residue on the teeth. Even with one inhalation of cigarette smoke, stains are left behind. There are brands of cigarettes that contain more nicotine and tar than the others. The higher the ratio of nicotine and tar, the more the teeth will be stained by the cigarette.



Yellow nails: Tar and nicotine are also the components of cigarette that cause yellow fingernails. These two stain the fingernails and the skin surrounding the fingers that hold the cigarette.

There is nothing cool about smoking. It can definitely rob one's youth and beauty.

Bosnian Pyramid of The Sun - European Pyramid

Bosnian Pyramid of The Sun - European Pyramid


The newly discovered Bosnian Pyramid of The Sun is belongs to Bosnia, it is become the First European pyramids. Numerous layers of evidence and recent international verification have proven that the mound Visocica represents an ancient colossal structure with a readily recognizable pyramid shape.

Former Pljesevica hill represents typical step-pyramid named the Bosnian Pramid of the Moon. Initial digging uncovered the foundation, terraces, plateau on the top of the pyramid, vertical wall and rectangular structure under one meter thick layer of soil. Four sides of the pyramid align with the cardinal sides (North-South, East-West). Thermal inertia analysis shows much quicker heat-loss than surrounding natural hills. Sandstone plates and blocks are exclusive building material used by the pyramid builders. During last 100 years locals have used those plates as a "quarry". Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon, together with Sun and Dragon pyramids form a perfect triangle with 60 degrees inner angles.

Initial research and local legends suggest that the whole net of underground tunnels exist under the Bosnian Pyramid Valley. Working hypothesis is that these tunnels connect all pyramids and other sites of importance. Researched area of one of the tunnel sections show intersections at 90 degrees, man-made ceilings and chambers and ventilation shafts. Several man-made sandstone monoliths have been found with symbols that might represent first European writings.
