The Relationship between Smoking and Snoring

Since smokers who have been puffing on the "cancer sticks" for many years have difficulty going for a light jog or making it through an intense workout, it only makes sense that they might also have trouble breathing correctly while asleep. When you are asleep your muscles relax and can restrict airflow, which is not a good thing if you are already damaging your tissue and muscle with cigarette smoke.

Studies are now showing that there is a link between excessive snoring and habitual smoking. Over time cigarette smoke can negatively affect all tissues and muscles of the body, especially those in the throat, lungs, and mouth. It just so happens that these are the same areas where air becomes restricted and snoring is produced!

Anyone concerned about their snoring should make every effort to stay away from cigarette smoking whenever possible. This means both not smoking yourself and trying to stay away from others who are smoking. Second hand smoke is proving to be just as damaging over time as firsthand smoke, so don't assume that you are safe just because you aren't the one taking the puffs.

If you have been smoking for some time you can't expect to stop snoring immediately after you give up the cigarette habit. The damage took some time to occur and it will take some time to undo as well. In the meantime, you might consider using the Adkins Snoring Aid system to get instant relief from your snoring.

It is also always worth checking with a doctor to make sure that you that you don’t have sleep apnoea, which is a serious condition.
