So... its July 1st and the English smoking ban has started! If ever there's a reason to try and give up then surely this is it? I mean ,..who wants to be stood out side your favourite wine bar during the summer in the rain..in your slingbacks and your favourite sunnies, and lets face it... it's bound to be raining, just to have a cigarette!The link between smoking and specific eye diseases is well known. The most common is
Age-related Macula Degeneration or AMD. Which is more related to smoking than lung cancer. Cigarette smoke enhances oxidants, which are the chemical byproducts in the body that can damage cells, including those in the eyes. Smoking also affects blood flow which is closely linked to vision and therefore indirectly associated with several eye diseases including Glaucoma and Cataracts.
So to maintain healthy vision, good teeth, fabulous skin and to avoid hair frizz and wind burn this summer... why not try giving up?...Go Smoke Free!
