Smoking is called "the fifth biggest threat" by the World Health Organization (WHO) (the top four are war, famine, plague and pollution). It is reported that at present, more than 2,000 people die from smoking every day in China, and it is expected that the number will increase to 8,000 by 2050. Among the deaths related to smoking, chronic lung diseases account for 45%, lung cancer accounts for 15%, and esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, stroke, heart disease and tuberculosis account for 40%. If the current smoking pattern continues, one third of young people will die of tobacco, more than half of them will die prematurely, and their deaths will occur between the ages of 35 and 69. The World Health Organization found that smokers who have smoked 10 years or more and smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day are already in a state of deep smoking poisoning: sore throat, chest pain, chest tightness, constant cough, nausea and bad breath ... Medical confirmation shows that each cigarette will release more than 4,000 chemicals and billions of particles when burning, including 69 carcinogens such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar, ammonia and benzene. These harmful substances are inhaled into the human body and attached to the tracheal wall and alveoli, which can easily lead to tracheitis, emphysema and even lung cancer; Carbon monoxide can obviously reduce the oxygen content in blood and cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and heart disease. Nicotine makes the brain nerve dependent, which makes smokers depressed and sexual function decline. Anatomical confirmation: smokers who have smoked for more than ten years have obviously black lungs! Medical scientists have done such an experiment: smokers who have smoked for more than 10 years have smoked 20 cigarettes continuously, and the experimenter feels chest tightness, headache and limb weakness; After smoking 60 cigarettes in a row, the experimenter had difficulty breathing and entered a toxic coma! A cigarette's "human journey" How did tobacco invade our bodies? We only focus on cursing the hateful nicotine, but we don't understand that there are hundreds of "biochemical weapons" in tobacco besides nicotine, plotting to subvert the peaceful evolution of health. The "shadow lung" in the X-ray film is easily reminiscent of the range hood that has not been cleaned for a long time. In a few seconds from inhalation to exhalation, not only the organs it passes through, but also a series of seemingly unrelated health indicators are polluted and harmed. Smoke first pollutes the smoker's mouth, teeth, throat and trachea. Due to long-term exposure to smoke, the necessary organs of these cigarettes are like the blackened roofs and stoves in old movies, which is the most intuitive harm to the body caused by smoking.

Due to long-term exposure to smoke, the necessary organs of these cigarettes are like the blackened roofs and stoves in old movies, which is the most intuitive harm to the body caused by smoking. In addition, the harm of smoke to the body is largely achieved through blood pollution. Smoke inhaled into the body enters the blood circulation through capillaries in the lungs. Carbon monoxide is one of hundreds of toxins. Once it enters the blood, it begins to compete with red blood cells for oxygen. Once blood is deprived of oxygen, it means a series of malignant reactions. First of all, lack of oxygen will put pressure on the heart, so the heart has to beat twice to ensure adequate oxygen supply. Moreover, fresh blood will thicken because of the long-term mixing of toxins, so it is more likely to cause cardiovascular diseases. Not only that, "halo smoke" is also a disaster caused by lack of oxygen. Carbon monoxide in tobacco is cleverly traded with fresh oxygen in the brain. The more you smoke, the more fresh oxygen will be replaced by dirty carbon monoxide, and the more dizzy you will feel. In addition, the harm of smoke to the skin is also related to hypoxia. Toxic foreign bodies entering the blood destroyed the original balance, and countless healthy white blood cells were sacrificed in this man-made health defense war. Toxins in tobacco can also reduce the formation of collagen in skin, leading to skin hypoxia and water loss, thus accelerating skin relaxation and wrinkles. Experts have found that the skin of women who smoke generally ages 5 years earlier than that of non-smokers. Finally, smoking addiction is the original sin of nicotine. After nicotine enters the blood circulation, it stimulates the central nervous system to some extent and produces "nicotine receptors" in smokers' brains. This is like a vacancy in the brain, which needs to be filled at any time. Once nicotine is insufficient, the brain will immediately inform the body to make up for it by smoking. If it is not supplemented in time, smokers will have symptoms of anxiety and irritability. This is how nicotine makes smokers addicted. Why do you want to quit smoking? Smoking is harmful to health.
Health is usually the first reason why people give up smoking. Almost everyone knows that smoking can cause many diseases.
Women over the age of 35 who use contraceptives and smoke have a high probability of heart disease, stroke and leg thrombosis. They are also more likely to miscarry or give birth to deformed babies.
For more than ten years, the World Health Organization has been reminding everyone of the dangers of smoking. Quitting smoking is good for smokers of all ages. Moreover, it is not only beneficial to healthy people, but also beneficial to people who may already have diseases related to smoking. Quitting smoking will make you live longer.
After quitting smoking 15 years, the mortality rate of smokers is the same as that of never smokers.
Quitting smoking can reduce the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, chronic lung disease and tracheal disease. Quitting smoking can save you money.
It is not difficult to calculate the money you spend on cigarettes. Multiply the number of cigarettes smoked every day (be honest) by the price of each pack and then multiply it by 365 days. This is the money you spend on cigarettes every year. This number may surprise you. Now multiply this number by the number of years you have smoked, and this number will make you more afraid.
Multiply the money you spend a year by ten, which is the cost of smoking in the next ten years. Then please think about it, do you want to continue smoking and burn money for unhealthy health, or would you rather spend your money on other purposes? Quitting smoking makes society accept you.
Compared with before, smokers are becoming less and less popular. Smoking is prohibited in most public places. Many companies want to hire non-smokers. Your friends may ask you not to smoke in their house or car. Whether you like it or not, finding a place where you can smoke is not that simple. Smoking affects the health of others.
Smoking is not only harmful to your own health, but also harmful to the health of people around you. If someone around you smokes (also known as passive smoking, or secondhand smoke), you not only inhale the smoke that comes out, but also inhale the smoke produced by burning cigarettes. This kind of second-hand smoke often makes non-smokers get lung cancer. Secondhand smoke is also associated with infant abuse syndrome and low birth weight. Children and babies who smoke at home are more likely to suffer from ear infections, colds, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases than children and babies who don't smoke at home. Secondhand smoke can also irritate eyes, leading to headache, nausea and dizziness.
