Don't think it's okay not to smoke indoors. Beware of the hazards of third-hand smoke and fourth-hand smoke.
According to Yahoo! Japan reported that in order to prevent third-hand smoke, Katsumi City, Nara Prefecture, Japan issued a regulation that from April 1 day, officials in this city should not take the elevator within 45 minutes after smoking, so as to prevent others from inhaling harmful substances from smokers and affecting their health. It's not just Shengju City in Nara Prefecture that has introduced new tobacco control regulations. In fact, the * * * policy of no smoking in the building has been implemented throughout Tokyo, and all employees are not allowed to smoke in the building during breaks.

Why should we prevent and control tobacco? According to the information provided by China Quit Smoking Network of the Dongshi Foundation, according to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 person dies of smoking every five seconds in the world. And 90% smokers will start smoking before 2 1 year old. Usually, the average smoking age is 20-30 years old, and then according to medical research reports, the life span of these addicts is about 20-25 years shorter than that of non-smokers.

Moreover, many research reports point out that "smoking" is the number one enemy affecting health today. The top ten causes of human death include cancer, cerebrovascular disease, heart disease and respiratory diseases, among which smoking is a risk factor. This kind of influence is not only for smokers themselves, but also directly affects everyone around them, which has a great influence. Don't sacrifice the health of yourself and your family for temporary comfort.

Know the harm of first-hand tobacco to fourth-hand tobacco: direct smokers will inhale 7000 chemicals produced by cigarette burning into the lungs, resulting in many toxins hidden in the body. At present, it is known that there are at least 70 carcinogens, which will cause oxidative stress in the body and easily consume antioxidants such as vitamin C in the body, so smokers are aging.

Second-hand tobacco: involuntary smoking and environmental tobacco smoke are passive or involuntary inhalation of environmental tobacco smoke, which is the most extensive mixture of mainstream tobacco smoke (smoke exhaled by smokers after inhaling lungs) and sidestream tobacco smoke (smoke that directly escapes into the air due to incomplete combustion of smoldering tobacco). According to research, women who inhale second-hand smoke because their spouses smoke are twice as likely to develop lung adenocarcinoma as women whose spouses don't smoke; Growing children are particularly sensitive to carcinogens in cigarettes, which increases the possibility of their addiction to cigarettes.

Third-hand smoke: refers to the pollutants left in the environment after cigarettes are extinguished. Refers to the potentially toxic compounds released by cigarette burning, which will attach to hair, carpets, curtains, clothes, food, furniture and so on. If you contact or inhale these pollutants for a long time, it will also increase the risk of cancer. The research report "The Impact of Third-hand Smoke on Health and Family Belief in Smoking Prohibition" published by American Academy of Pediatrics shows that there are at least 1 1 kinds of highly carcinogenic particles in the environment of cigarettes, which will cause cognitive impairment in children and increase the probability of infants suffering from respiratory diseases, such as asthma.

Four-handed smoker: I want to smoke when I see others smoking. Seeing friends, colleagues, relatives or favorite idols smoking will make people feel that smoking is a cool thing, especially in places with high smoking density, people will normalize smoking. In particular, many boys start smoking because all their friends are smoking, so they start to try, or when they encounter low tide in life, they will use smoking to relieve stress; Girls may join the smokers, because smoking can help them lose weight.
