Benefits of Quitting Smoking

The Government of Canada has some valuable information and tools to help you live a smoke-free life. Check out the health benefits that begin soon after quitting.

Within:

20 minutes: your blood pressure drops to a level similar to what it was before your last cigarette
8 hours: the level of carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) in your blood drops to normal
24 hours: your risk of having a heart attack starts to drop
2 weeks to 3 months: the airways in your lungs relax and you can get more air into your lungs and breathe easier
1 to 9 months: you cough less and your lungs work even better
1 year: your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a person who smokes
5 years: you have the same chance of having a stroke as someone who has never smoked
10 years: your chance of dying from cancer is much lower
15 years: your risk of coronary heart disease is similar to that of someone who has never smoked

Even those who have developed smoking-related problems like heart disease or cancer can benefit from quitting. Compared to continuing to smoke, people who quit smoking after having a heart attack can reduce their chances of having another heart attack by as much as 50%.

Calgary Laserworks ~ Your Solution to Quit Smoking Struggles

Are you tired of the never-ending cycle of trying to quit smoking without success? We understand how challenging it can be. Quitting smoking is a personal journey, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach that works for everyone. Many individuals attempt to quit multiple times before achieving long-term success.

The key to quitting smoking lies in being mentally and emotionally prepared. You must genuinely want to quit for yourself, rather than feeling pressured by others. If you’re finding it difficult to quit smoking, it may be time to consider low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an effective solution.

At Calgary Laserworks, we offer a safe, easy, affordable, and highly effective laser therapy program. Unlike acupuncture, LLLT doesn’t involve needles. In fact, recent trials in Scotland have shown that it is ten times more effective than patches, gum, or hypnotherapy. Our focus is on addressing the three most common symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal:

Blocking the need for nicotine
Reducing stress and anxiety
Suppressing appetite

Our goal is to empower individuals like you to overcome nicotine addiction and succeed in quitting smoking. Take control of your life today and give us a call at 403-301-3750 to learn more about how Calgary Laserworks can support you on your journey towards a smoke-free future.

You’ve heard the expression, “If you don’t have your health, you have nothing.”

All it takes is one extended bout on the sidelines of life and you understand the truth in that expression. Studies have shown that any number of things can have a detrimental effect on your health.

Smoking is a HUGE factor in the state of your health. It has been proven to cause lung disease, cancer, emphysema and coronary breakdown, to name just a few.

Stress and worry can lead to immune system breakdown and heart-related issues. Studies show that being thankful and happy can reduce stress. Research also shows that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic, something you can’t effect very much, 10% is based on surroundings (job, money and family), and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through behaviour.

So how can Calgary Laserworks and Reflexology help with your health?

We can help you take deliberate actions! We’ll help you stop smoking, reduce stress and anxiety, and help you relax, all which can improve your immune system and much, much more.

Call 403-301-3730. You’ll be so grateful and proud of yourself for taking the steps to improve your health and well-being!

What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?

According to the Canadian Lung Association COPD is short for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. COPD is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness.

While COPD is a disease commonly caused by smoking, and there is currently no cure, you can slow the progression of COPD and improve your lung function by quitting smoking.

The best way to prevent COPD is to never smoke, but of course many people do. If you’re ready to end your addiction to nicotine, contact Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730. We are truly here to help you succeed.

Dangers of Secondhand Smoke

“Secondhand smoke is a mixture of two forms of smoke that come from burning tobacco: side-stream smoke (the smoke from the lighted end of a cigarette) and mainstream smoke (the smoke inhaled and exhaled by a smoker). Side-stream smoke is more toxic than mainstream smoke, as it has much higher concentrations of cancer-causing substances. There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke.” — Tobacco Stops with Me.com

Exposure to secondhand smoke continues to be a serious health problem. In fact, non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke absorb the same harmful chemicals as smokers. Studies show that even low levels of secondhand smoke exposure can be harmful causing numerous health problems including increasing your risk for lung disease, heart disease, heart attacks and strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis), and many life-threatening cancers.

Secondhand smoke effects everyone and everything around you — children, pregnant women, people with breathing issues, your family, your friends, your co-workers. If you’re a smoker, isn’t it time to let it go? It’s truly never too late.

Calgary Laserworks is here to help you succeed…FREEDOM…at last! Get in touch today at 403-301-3730.
