1, induce lung cancer.
One of the hazards of secondhand smoke is that it can induce lung cancer. The smoke of second-hand smoke contains tar, nicotine and other harmful substances, which will inhibit the ciliary activity of human respiratory tract and affect the function of macrophages, thus causing edema and congestion of bronchial mucosa, leading to various respiratory diseases, and may induce lung cancer after a long time.
2, leading to cardiovascular disease.
The harm of secondhand smoke also includes causing various cardiovascular diseases. Secondhand smoke contains a lot of carbon monoxide. If people wait for a long time in the second-hand smoke environment, they will inevitably inhale a lot of carbon monoxide, leading to hypoxia. In addition, nicotine in second-hand smoke can cause vascular abnormalities. Long-term hypoxia and vascular abnormalities will greatly increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and even induce myocardial infarction in severe cases.
3, lead to hearing impairment
Secondhand smoke can also cause hearing loss. Second-hand smoke contains many toxic and harmful substances, which often have adverse effects on the blood activities of small blood vessels in the ears, thus making organs lack oxygen, accumulating a large number of toxic substances, and ultimately damaging hearing.
4. Increase the risk of diabetes.
Regular secondhand smoke can also increase the risk of diabetes. Second-hand smoke will affect the human body's tolerance to glucose, increase blood sugar and greatly increase the risk of diabetes.
5, leading to female cervical cancer
Secondhand smoke contains polycyclic aromatic compounds. Once these compounds enter the human body, they will cause cervical lesions and, in severe cases, cervical cancer, posing a threat to women's life and health. In addition, a variety of harmful substances in second-hand smoke will affect women's reproductive health, leading to irregular menstruation and early menopause, and even lead to infertility.
Second, how to discourage smoking cessation?
1. It is more effective to communicate with smokers and persuade them to quit smoking.
Smokers and people who try to stop smoking are like tug-of-war. If smokers are persuaded, they will succeed in quitting smoking, otherwise, they will fail. To persuade smokers to quit smoking, we must understand the difficulty of quitting smoking after smokers become addicted. If the persuader fails to help from the standpoint of smokers, just playing chess, using authoritative orders or threatening attitude, it is ineffective communication, and the chances of successfully quitting smoking are slim.
It is suggested that persuaders should start with the competitive psychology of "knowing ourselves and knowing ourselves". As long as a smoker smokes a cigarette, nicotine will stay in his brain for several months, and he will be allergic to nicotine, which will increase his motivation to smoke by three or four times. Even though he has given up smoking for a long time, this feeling still exists. Because the body of a heavy smoker is highly dependent on nicotine, to quit smoking successfully, his companion needs to become a smoker and think from his standpoint. What are the key factors that can improve his motivation to quit smoking and make him willing to quit smoking and stick to it?
2. Improve the success rate of quitting smoking in the big situation.
Through the analysis of the data of successful smokers, it is found that people in the following four situations are more likely to quit smoking. The relationship between smokers and persuaders should be very friendly, and persuaders should release the greatest goodwill to effectively improve the chances of quitting smoking.
(1) Physical condition: When you are sick, you will have the idea of quitting smoking because of physical and mental pain. Persuaders can take the opportunity to persuade: "for your health, you should quit smoking;" You have a bad cough. Quit smoking! " With sufficient motivation to quit smoking, the success rate of quitting smoking will increase. Therefore, when smokers get sick, or see their relatives and friends seriously ill and worry that their illness will bring trouble to their families in the future, it is a good time to persuade them to quit smoking when their health awareness is improved.
(2) Be a good example: everyone has a sense of honor. If you have the opportunity to be a role model, you will often have the idea of quitting smoking. For example, men are often the masters of earning money to support their families and should be respected by their families. However, he was scolded by his family for smoking and became a "bad guy" called by everyone. For the sake of family health and to be a good example for children to learn, they will consider quitting smoking.
(3) Smoking troubles: When the smell of smoking arouses protests from neighbors and colleagues, in order to avoid these accusations, it is necessary to smoke outside. All kinds of inconveniences are quite troublesome for smokers, and it is easy to have the motivation to quit smoking.
(4) More and more money: Many people regard smoking as a leisure activity, but it is the poor who have no money for leisure. On the one hand, you can't save money by buying fireworks, on the other hand, your health is getting worse and worse, and you can't make money. Once you find that money is not enough, you will have the idea of quitting smoking.
