Plastic surgery - is it really necessary?

      Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best-known kind of plastic surgery, most plastic surgery is not cosmetic. Plastic surgery includes many types of reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns. For my opinion, plastic surgery is not really necessary as it give us negative side effects, it is costly and it can lead to negative emotional effect.

      Though thousands of people undergo cosmetic and plastic surgery every year, there are some side effects to the procedures. This varies depending on the exact operation. Some patients have experienced headaches, nausea and prolonged pain. Another common side effect reported is inflammation surrounding the area of the body where the procedure was done. These side effects generally dissipate over time but can be bad in the beginning. Individuals may also experience bruising in areas of their body.

      When people decide to undergo cosmetic surgery, they often consult a professional who gives them an estimate as to the cost. This estimate isn't a binding contract, but a guess as to how much the procedure will cost. The actual cost can rise dramatically over this estimate, leading patients to suffer pressure to pay the entire amount even if they cannot afford it. When the cost is spread out over a payment plan, it can cause more stress.

      The emotional effects on patients' well-being are one of the negative effects of cosmetic surgery. While they go under the knife to fix a problem they see on the outside, this sometimes only serves as a bandage on the larger problem. After the surgery they continue to suffer from a body image distortion. A small number of patients continue to go back to the surgeon to fix other problems they see instead of trying to find a real solution to the problem.  

        Cosmetic surgery was designed to make the human body look better. Thousands of people have these operations done every year to change their face and body. What many of these people don't realize is that there are negative effects to the surgery, ranging from emotional issues to cost and the risks they take when they lie on the table. That is why I said plastic surgery is not really necessary.

Smoking should be banned.

      Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. The most common method of smoking today is through cigarettes, primarily industrially manufactured but also hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper. Today we are more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking should be banned or restricted in almost all public places because it has been shown to be dangerous to health, it can reduced athletic performance and it can lead to bad skin, bad breath and bad-smelling clothes and hair.

      The arguments against smoking are well known. Smoking has been shown to be dangerous to health. Heart disease, bronchitis and lung cancer have all been linked. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of dying from heart attack or stroke. In itself, this is a good reason to leave your cigarettes in the packet. As we know, smoking also act as the pivotal cause of chronic bronchitis. Smokers inhale tobacco smoke into their lungs, which irritates the air passages. This finally produces mucus, subsequently developing into chronic bronchitis. Due to the fact, more smoke you breathe, the more it damages your lungs but it can be more hazardous to a passive smoker who inhales the smoke being in close vicinity of the active smoker.

      Besides that, smoking can reduced athletic performance. People who smoke usually can't compete with nonsmoking peers because the physical effects of smoking like rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath impair sports performance. One of the main impacts of smoking on athletic performance is a decrease in lung function. For athletes, this means a decrease in stamina and performance, as muscles that get inadequate oxygen become fatigued more quickly. Smokers also tend to suffer from shortness of breath more often than nonsmokers, as their muscles and heart demand more oxygen than their lungs are able to supply.
      Last but not least is smoking can lead to bad skin, bad breath and bad-smelling clothes and hair. Because smoking restricts blood vessels, it can prevent oxygen and nutrients from getting to the skin which is why smokers often appear pale and unhealthy. Cigarettes leave smokers with a condition called halitosis, or persistent bad breath. The smell of stale smoke tends to linger, not just on people's clothing, but on their hair, furniture, and cars. And it is often hard to get the smell of smoke out.
      The only thing that really helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. This is not always easy, especially if everyone around you is smoking and offering you cigarettes. To avoid these evils of smoking and ensure a healthy platform for the youth it is not only our duty but need of the day to condemn such practices if not completely then atleast socially. In general, I think the world would be a better place without cigarettes and that is why smoking should be banned. However, the decision as to whether to smoke or not should be for each individual to make.
