Tobacco use and healing...

  Did you know that tobacco use is a major factor in affecting how your body heals, no matter what type you use?  Tobacco contains nicotine, which is a vaso-constrictor.  It causes your blood vessels to narrow, resulting in less room for oxygen and nutrients to flow through.  Many people have poor circulation without smoking.  When your body's organs can't get the oxygen and nutrients they need, cells die and organs don't work as well.
  Tobacco use is typically a long time habit, and stopping is no easy task.  However, consider your overall health and the benefits of healing when tobacco is removed from the picture.  If you need help stopping, consult with your physician.
