Smoking and Osteoporosis

Cigarette smoking was first identified as a risk factor for osteoporosis more than 20 years ago. Recent studies have shown a direct relationship between tobacco use and decreased bone density. Analyzing the impact of cigarette smoking on bone health is complicated. It is hard to determine whether a decrease in bone density is due to smoking itself or to other risk factors common among smokers. For example, in many cases smokers are thinner than nonsmokers, tend to drink more alcohol, may be less physically active, and have poor diets. Women who smoke also tend to have an earlier menopause than nonsmokers. These factors place many smokers at an increased risk for osteoporosis apart from their tobacco use.

    * The longer you smoke and the more cigarettes you consume, the greater your risk of fracture in old age.
    * Smokers who fracture may take longer to heal than nonsmokers and may experience more complications during the healing process.
    * Significant bone loss has been found in older women and men who smoke.
    * At least one study suggests that exposure to second-hand smoke during youth and early adulthood may increase the risk of developing low bone mass.
    * Women who smoke often produce less estrogen (a sex hormone) and tend to experience menopause earlier than nonsmokers, which may lead to increased bone loss.
    * Quitting smoking appears to reduce the risk of low bone mass and fractures. However, it may take several years to lower a former smoker's risk.

Why Stop Smoking?

Each time you puff on a cigarette, you introduce not only nicotine (a drug) into your body, but also hundreds of other toxic chemicals and carcinogens (some that can kill insects on contact, others that are used to embalm dead bodies). You probably know that cigarette smoking is harmful to your health, increasing your risk for heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke, but did you know that cigarette smoking is one of the main killers in the world?According to the Center for Disease Control, cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death, accounting for approximately 1 of every 5 deaths (440,000 people).

Eliminate your nicotine craving

An innovative way to stop smoking

Zero Nico is safe and easy to use. Each patch contains a dose of the most effective herbal ingredients, formulated to alleviate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal while cleansing the system of all smoking-related toxins. To break free from smoking, you need to break free from nicotine. Unlike other stop smoking patches, Zero Nico's all-natural formula eliminates, rather than replenishes, the level of nicotine in your body, helping you break the habit.

Zero Nico Patch fights the three major factors that inhibit smoking cessation efforts:

1. Nicotine addiction
2. Withdrawal symptoms
3. Nicotine intoxication

The proprietary herbal formulation in Zero Nico Patch contains ingredients that act as natural substitutes for nicotine; thereby satisfying the body's craving for this substance, without all the negative side effects of patches containing the actual drug, nicotine. The all-natural ingredients will make you crave fewer cigarettes each day. This gradual process allows you to quit with no withdrawal symptoms and requires less willpower and effort on your part.

After analyzing many applicable studies and products currently sold on the market, we have developed a revolutionary formula, found in Zero Nico Patch, which guarantees smoking cessation in a very short period. Withdrawal symptoms will be milder due to the all-natural nicotine substitute, which helps you shake the nicotine habit gradually, with less physical and emotional stress. Furthermore, to help you through the process, Zero Nico's herbal formulation helps decrease the anxiety and depression that affect most people who are trying to quit smoking.

The nicotine content in your system will gradually decrease as you continue to wear the patch. To help you speed up this important process, Zero Nico contains ingredients with distinctive antioxidant properties, to detoxify your body and eliminate the nicotine stored in your cells. Most of the harmful effects of smoking will start to disappear once you stop smoking completely.

The patch application method allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin and reach the bloodstream faster and more conveniently than any other method. Other methods, such as pills or lozenges, must be taken several times per day, since they lose many of their active ingredients as they are processed by stomach acid, minimizing their effectiveness. The revolutionary patch system eliminates the need to remember to take pills. Simply apply a new Zero Nico Patch every three days. It's that easy!
