Most people are aware that smoking and heavy drinking are unhealthy habits, but not
many realise just how much harm they can cause.
Dr Stanley Chia, cardiologist at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals, explains the effects of smoking and drinking on
our health.
Growing up, many children may view drinking and smoking as privileges of adults and therefore ‘cool’
activities to engage in. Media portrayal of smoking and alcohol use has certainly helped to perpetuate the
appeal of these social habits. The importance of public awareness about the dangers of heavy smoking and
drinking has never been greater.
How to quit
Smokers who quit smoking with support are more likely to succeed than those who do it on their own.
Hence, it is helpful for those trying to stop to consult a health professional on engage a smoking cessation
programme.
For regular, very heavy drinkers, stopping alcohol consumption abruptly can be dangerous. They should
therefore consult their doctors to manage the withdrawal symptoms.
Always remember that our health is important to us and our families, and we should take care to safeguard
it.
