The harm of smoking and drinking for 20 years 1. Smoking can lead to blood clots and various heart diseases.
Inhaling carbon monoxide in cigarettes will reduce the ability of blood to absorb oxygen. Nicotine can make the heart beat faster, raise blood pressure, weaken cardiac endurance, cause coronary infarction due to myocardial hypoxia, promote the accumulation of atherosclerosis due to cardiac ischemia (or heartache), and many heart diseases begin to occur.
Between the ages of 30 and 49, smokers have a very high probability of heart disease, which is five times that of non-smokers. Quitters found that their chances of heart disease dropped by half after one year.
Second, the damage of smoking to the brain.
Smoking can cause various brain diseases, reduce oxygen and blood circulation in the brain, lead to cerebral vascular bleeding and occlusion, and lead to paralysis, mental decline and stroke. The cause of stroke is that smoking leads to cerebral vasospasm, which makes blood coagulation easier. Smokers are twice as likely to have a stroke as nonsmokers.
Third, the harm of smoking to the oral cavity.
Smoking can lead to oral cancer and laryngeal cancer. The heat of tar and smoke in cigarettes will inflame salivary glands, damage taste buds and greatly weaken the ability of taste and smell. Next, it is easy to cause oral cancer, and about 2/3 patients can still live a hard life after discovering oral cancer. At the same time, smoke can make the temperature in the throat drop from 37? C increased to 42? C, causing minor burns to the mucosa inside, causing chronic thermal trauma, and eventually leading to laryngeal cancer.
Fourth, the damage of smoking to the lungs.
Smoking can lead to short and irregular cilia of bronchial epithelial cells, dyskinesia, reduced local resistance and susceptibility to infection. Smoking can cause lung cancer. 90% of the total mortality rate is caused by smoking. The initial symptoms will not be found until the cancer cells spread to blood vessels and other organs. Smoking can also cause emphysema, and toxic substances accumulated in the bronchi of the lungs will hinder the normal exhalation of the air inhaled by the human body, make lung cells expand or rupture, and cause patients to have difficulty breathing.
Fifth, the damage of smoking to the stomach.
People with gastrointestinal diseases, smoking is enough to make gastrointestinal diseases worse. People with gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer will slow down the healing of ulcer and even become chronic diseases. Smoking can stimulate the nervous system, accelerate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, make the gastrointestinal tract often tense, and lead to the loss of appetite of smokers. In addition, nicotine can also contract gastrointestinal mucosal blood vessels and reduce appetite.
Six, smoking damages the whole body bones.
Nicotine constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow to new bones. The carbon monoxide inhaled during smoking also reduces the speed at which oxygen enters the body. Smoking can lead to osteitis and back pain, and most people with severe back pain are addicted to smoking. This is because smoking will reduce the blood flow of the articular disc, and the articular disc will degenerate early. Smoking can lead to arthritis. Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day will increase the prevalence rate by 50%. Smoking will lead to faster bone loss. Smoking can interfere with estrogen, which is an important hormone in bone development.
Seven, smoking damage to the liver.
Smoking will increase the burden on the liver. Regular smoking will affect the lipid metabolism of the liver, increase blood lipid, decrease benign cholesterol and increase malignant cholesterol. This has caused the burden of detoxification function of the liver to increase.
Eight, smoking damage to the intestine
Smoking can lead to colon cancer. The risk of this kind of cancer is directly proportional to the amount of smoking. Research shows that although quitting smoking can reduce the risk of other diseases such as heart disease and lung cancer, the risk of colon cancer is still high.
Nine, smoking damage to the reproductive system
Smoking inhibits the nerve center of the spinal cord, making men's sexual desire weak, and because smoking can make blood vessels contract and spasm, it causes peripheral blood circulation disorder. Smoking is the main cause of impotence. Australia and Canada have printed this information directly on cigarette packets. In addition, smoking affects sperm motility and increases abnormal sperm, and it will take three to six months to return to normal after quitting smoking. If you want a smart and healthy child, baby experts advocate that you must give up smoking for three to six months.
Ten, the harm of second-hand smoke
Smoke emitted during smoking can release more than 4,000 kinds of gases and particles, most of which are very strong irritants, and at least 40 of them can cause cancer in humans or animals. After smokers quit smoking, these particles can still stay in the air for several hours, can be inhaled by other non-smokers, and may be mixed with the decay products of radon gas, causing great harm to human health.
When smoking harms smokers' own health, second-hand smoke will also affect non-smokers. In addition to irritating eyes, nose and throat, it will significantly increase the risk of lung cancer and heart disease in non-smokers. If children live with some smokers, their respiratory system will be more susceptible to infection. Other symptoms include increased cough, asthma, excessive phlegm, impaired lung function and slow lung development.
Men's Four Misunderstandings about the Harm of Smoking Some people think that smoking is very masculine, but in fact, smoking is not only harmful to their own health, sometimes family members around them are also smoking second-hand smoke with you! Moreover, some men's cognition of smoking is still incorrect, and some people mistakenly think that smoking is sometimes good for their health. Let's see what are the misunderstandings of male smoking!
According to statistics, the average life expectancy of men in the world is 77 years, of which 7 years will be spent in serious illness or chronic disease, and the probability of men getting cancer is 70% higher than that of women. Experts remind that health is bought with money when you are young, but people should pay more attention to health in middle age, so it is time to exchange money for health. In fact, even if it costs a lot of money? Buy? Health may be impossible. As long as necessary adjustments are made in eating habits, lifestyle and mental state, the physical condition of middle-aged men can still have the energy to adapt to the needs of new changes.
As we all know, smoking is harmful to health. Most addicts must pay attention to the occasion and time of smoking. Of course, for the sake of your health, it is best to give up smoking.
One of the misunderstandings: a cigarette after a meal is not as good as a living fairy.
This is a very harmful misleading to smokers. After a meal, the blood circulation increases, and nicotine is quickly absorbed into the blood, which makes people in a state of excitement and head high, just like? Smokers? What did you describe? Fairy? The same feeling. In fact, smoking one cigarette after a meal is more harmful than smoking ten cigarettes. Because the human body's heat is greatly increased after meals, smoking will inhibit the basic secretion of protein and bicarbonate, hinder food digestion and affect nutrient absorption. At the same time, it also causes direct damage to the stomach and duodenum, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction, increased bile secretion, and easy to cause abdominal pain and other symptoms. Moreover, while the body actively digests and absorbs food, the absorption capacity of cigarette smoke is also enhanced, and the inhaled harmful substances are also increased. So it can be said that smoking after meals is harmful.
Myth 2: A cigarette in the morning makes the day beautiful.
These are some? Heavy smoker? I feel that the first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is to light a cigarette. Smoking early to refresh yourself? . If you don't smoke a cigarette in the morning, you will be at a loss and even feel that you have done one less thing. Especially for heavy smokers, people often sit under the quilt before leaving the bed and can't wait to smoke. Yes, open your eyes, smoke a cigarette, and reduce the nicotine concentration in your blood after a night of metabolism? Make up? Come on, is this for those people? Heavy smoker? On the whole, is the spirit really okay? Be a support? . As everyone knows, after a night, the air in the room was not circulating and it was dirty. Smoke mixed with cigarettes was sucked back into the lungs. In addition, smoking on an empty stomach, smoke will stimulate bronchial secretion of fluid, which will lead to chronic bronchitis over time. There is a folk proverb:? Smoking in the morning and dying early? It sounded the alarm for people. Although it is exaggerated, it can also explain the harmfulness and seriousness of smoking in the morning to some extent.
Myth 3: Friends chat, drink and smoke.
Many people like to smoke while drinking. They think that friends' parties must have good wine and cigarettes, so as to have a good atmosphere. Both are indispensable. Drinking too much wine, lighting a cigarette and savoring it seems to be very fun. But you may not know that drinking alcohol and tobacco together is more harmful than drinking or smoking alone. Because alcohol will dissolve in tobacco tar, it will promote the transfer of carcinogens to cell membrane. Statistics show that 70% of oral cancer is related to smoking and drinking. The most serious thing is that tobacco and alcohol are carried out at the same time, so that the liver metabolic function can only take care of eliminating alcohol and it is difficult to take care of others, which leads to the toxic substances of tobacco staying in the human body for hours or even days, which aggravates the harm of tobacco to the body. Therefore, smoking while drinking is essentially a joke about health and life.
Myth 4: It is convenient to smoke in the toilet.
This is also a long-standing saying among the people, and it is precisely because of its popularity that it is more poisonous. Many people think that the toilet smells bad and smoking can dilute it. In fact, the ammonia concentration in the toilet is higher than that in other places, and the oxygen content is relatively low, while tobacco will produce more sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide in the case of low oxygen, which will be inhaled into the lungs in large quantities together with toxic gases and pathogenic bacteria in the toilet, which is extremely harmful to the human body. Smoking in toilets for patients with coronary heart disease or chronic bronchitis can lead to angina pectoris, myocardial infarction or acute attack of bronchitis.
