Lung failure is faster.
Professor Wang Chen, president of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and deputy director of Beijing Institute of Respiratory Diseases, said that relapse is very harmful, even more harmful to human body than before quitting smoking. One of the most important hazards is that smoking cessation and relapse lead to lung failure faster. Because people who smoke again after quitting smoking are more "thirsty" and addicted, they inhale more cigarettes after smoking again, and each cigarette inhales more deeply, which is self-evident.
Tobacco smoke contains at least three dangerous chemicals, including tar and nicotine. Symptoms such as hypoxia, rapid heartbeat, asthma, impotence, infertility and oral diseases will be aggravated after recurrence. Therefore, once smokers quit smoking, they must resolutely resist the temptation of cigarettes and quit smoking completely.
Make up your mind not to look back
To prevent recurrence, we should pay attention to the following points:
Control the persistent desire to smoke. When people around you smoke, feel stressed, nervous, restless, and have more urge to smoke after drinking, please try to avoid these situations. When you have the urge to smoke, taking a few slow deep breaths or engaging in other activities is a good way to divert your attention.
Create an environment to help smokers quit smoking. Tell your spouse, family, friends, colleagues and other close contacts that they have quit smoking, ask them to supervise themselves, and ask smokers around you not to smoke in front of them as much as possible. Before you start to quit smoking, you must throw away all tobacco products, lighters, ashtrays and other smoking tools. Put warning signs in places and occasions where you used to smoke, such as "Don't smoke after getting up" and "Don't smoke after meals". Choose some substitutes such as chewing gum, toothpicks, pencils, spoons, etc. Hands and mouth that help overcome repeated smoking many times a day. Review the past experience of quitting smoking and draw lessons.
Don't be afraid of "withdrawal symptoms"
You can choose to adopt "gradual reduction method" or "sudden stop method". Although there will be a series of discomfort symptoms in the first two weeks of quitting smoking, the discomfort symptoms will be obviously alleviated due to the use of smoking cessation drugs. The "gradual reduction method" is often difficult to adhere to because of its long duration, and some selected smokers are actually making excuses for not wanting to quit smoking, so it is suggested to adopt the "sudden stop method".
Once quitting smoking is effective, you should give yourself appropriate rewards. After quitting smoking, the concentration of nicotine in the blood decreases, and psychological and behavioral reasons can lead to symptoms such as smoking addiction, dizziness, stomach discomfort, constipation, nervousness, inattention, depression, insomnia, etc., which is called withdrawal syndrome group in medicine. These symptoms can disappear quickly 2-3 weeks after quitting smoking, and you will feel more relaxed and energetic than before quitting smoking.
