Stress = reaction of your body & mind to threatening or challenging events in your life

Positive Stress = Eustress promotes growth and accomplishment.

Negative Stress = Distress when not dealt with effectively can cause problems:-injury (mind is distracted)- illness (lowered immune system), - high blood pressure- ulcers

You receive a promotion at work. Your car has a flat tire. Your dog gets sick. Your new bedroom set is being delivered. Your best friend and his wife come to stay at your

house for a week. You get a bad case of hay fever.

If you are used to thinking that stress is something that makes you worry, you have the wrong idea of stress. Stress is many different kinds of things: happy things, sad things, allergic things, physical things. Many people carry enormous stress loads and they do not even realize it!

JUST A EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT CAN DO……………

Smoking is one of the worst things kids or adults can do to their bodies. Yet every single day about 4,000 kids between the ages 12 and 17 start smoking. Most middle school students don't smoke — only about 1 in 10 does. And most high school students don't smoke either — about 1 in 4 does (that means 3 out of 4 don't).

Reasons People Smoke

Reasons People Don’t Smoke

Yellow fingers Yellow teeth Bad skin (pale, wrinkles) Bad skin. Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and

nutrients from getting to the skin Bad breath. Cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent

bad breath. Bad-smelling clothes and hair. Reduced athletic performance. (like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and

shortness of breath) Greater risk of injury and slower healing time. Smoking affects the body's ability

to produce collagen, so common sports injuries, such as damage to tendons and ligaments, will heal more slowly in smokers than nonsmokers.

Increased risk of illness. more colds, flu, bronchitis, and pneumonia fertility problems and can impact sexual health in both men and women. Girls who

are on the pill or other hormone-based methods of birth control (like the patch or the ring) increase their risk of serious health problems, such as heart attacks, if they smoke.

Cancer (mouth, lungs) Stroke Deandened taste buds

Why is cigarette smoking bad for me? Everyone knows that smoking can cause cancer when you

3. On your quit date, butt out completely. Don’t smoke, not even a little. Toss out your cigarettes, other tobacco, and ashtrays. Avoid people and situations where you will be tempted to smoke.
