The costs of smoking, to your finances and to your health.

Smoking has more than 50 ways of making life a misery through illness and more than 20 ways of killing you. In general, smokers endure poorer health than non-smokers. It has been estimated that, in England , 364,000 patients are admitted to NHS hospitals each year due to diseases caused by smoking.

One in two long-term smokers will die prematurely as a result of smoking – half of these in middle age. The most recent estimates show that around 114,000 people in the UK are killed by smoking every year, accounting for one fifth of all UK deaths. Most die from one of the three main diseases associated with cigarette smoking: lung cancer, chronic obstructive lung disease (bronchitis and emphysema) and coronary heart disease.

The good news is, the risk of these can greatly be reduced by giving up smoking with Bioresonance therapy within 24 hours. The immediate health benefits are:

• after 8 hours carbon monoxide is eliminated from your body
• after 72 hours breathing becomes easier
• after 2 to 12 weeks circulation improves
• after 3-9 months your lung function is improved up to 10%
• after 5 years the risk of heart attack falls to half that of a smoker and after 10 years the risk of lung cancer falls to that of a non-smoker.
• your friends and family members are not exposed to passive smoking anymore

The financial costs of smoking is not just the money spent on cigarettes, but also increased health care costs. The table below indicates what a smoker will spend on cigarettes over a number of years, based on the cost of popular brands at approximately £5 per pack of 20.
