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

Secondhand smoking occurs when the non-smoker breathes in 'sidestream' smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and 'mainstream' smoke, which has been inhaled and then exhaled by the smoker. Non-smokers who breathe other people's tobacco smoke are exposed to the same 4,000 chemicals that a smoker inhales.

- Children exposed to secondhand smoke are twice as likely to get chest illnesses such as croup, pneumonia bronchitis and bronchiolitis
- Children exposed to secondhand smoke are also more likely to get ear infections, tonsillitis, wheezing and childhood asthma
- Children of smokers are more likely to smoke themselves
- Non-smokers exposed to secondhand smoke are put at risk of the same serious diseases as smokers
- Cigarette smoke is classified as a cause of cancer

Women who smoke have:

- Three times as much infertility: it is directly related to the number of cigarettes smoked.
- Poorer results with fertility treatments
- 50% Higher miscarriage rate
- Earlier onset of menopause (the age when monthly periods stop).
- Increased risk of heart disease by 30 times that of a non-smoker if smoking whilst taking the contraceptive pill.

Each cigarette smoked while pregnant will reduce the blood flow to the uterus for one hour, resulting in less oxygen for the baby. Women who smoke have a higher rate of babies who have growth restriction in the uterus, more birth abnormalities and a higher rate of infant death.

Men who smoke have:

- A reduced sperm count
- A higher risk of impotence (problems with erection)
- Increased birth defects and higher rate of childhood cancers in their children
- Increased asthma in their children.
