First, what is good for smoking?
1. Vitamin additive

Foods rich in vitamin e include soybean oil and oil extracted from other plant seeds; Foods rich in vitamin E include: various oilseeds and vegetable oils, such as wheat germ oil, corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, beans and coarse grains, which are all important sources of vitamin E. Some cereals, nuts and green leafy vegetables also contain a certain amount of vitamin E.
3. Drink more tea often
Because some compounds contained in smoke can cause intima thickening of arteries, gastric acid secretion is obviously reduced, and blood sugar is increased, and catechin peculiar to tea can effectively prevent cholesterol from depositing on blood vessel walls, increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, and reduce blood sugar and urine sugar. Smokers should always drink more tea to reduce the onset of these diseases caused by smoking; At the same time, tea can induce diuresis and detoxify, and some toxic substances in smoke can be excreted with urine, thus reducing its stay time in the body.
4. Alkaline food rich in β -carotene
It is more beneficial to smokers, and alkaline food rich in β -carotene can effectively inhibit smokers' addiction and play a certain role in reducing smoking and quitting smoking. It is found that carotene mainly comes from dark green or red and yellow vegetables and fruits, such as carrots, broccoli, spinach, spinach, sweet potatoes, mangoes, cantaloupes, apricots and melons. Generally speaking, the stronger the color, the richer the β -carotene is. In addition, sunflower seeds also contain β-carotene, which can prevent the necrosis of human skin cells and make hair soft and beautiful; Cauliflower and asparagus are also rich in β-carotene, which is a good antioxidant, can prevent the damage of free radicals in the body to cells and has certain anti-cancer effect; Sweet potato is rich in β-carotene, potassium, iron and vitamin B6. The heat output of sweet potato per 100g is one third lower than that of rice, and the content of vitamin B 1 Vitamin B2 is 6 times and 3 times higher than rice, respectively.
5. Foods rich in selenium
Regular smoking can easily lead to low selenium content in human blood, and selenium is an indispensable trace element for cancer prevention. Therefore, smokers should always eat more foods rich in selenium. Eggs include eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs and quail eggs. Meat foods include pig kidney, cow kidney, sheep kidney, pork, mutton, donkey meat, duck liver, chicken liver and so on.

Fruit foods include mulberry, longan, apple, peach, begonia, apricot and so on.
6. Foods that reduce or inhibit cholesterol synthesis
Because smoking will increase the deposition of cholesterol and fat in blood vessels, reduce the blood supply to the brain, easily lead to brain atrophy and accelerate brain aging. Therefore, smokers should eat less fat containing saturated fatty acids in their diet, and should add some foods that can reduce or inhibit cholesterol synthesis, such as milk, fish, bean products and some high-fiber foods, such as Chili powder, cinnamon and fruits and vegetables. Many people like to eat big fish and meat to keep out the cold, and eat more food in summer to reduce or inhibit cholesterol synthesis.
Second, the harm of smoking to the body
1, smoking causes blood clots and causes 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.
2. The brain damage caused by smoking
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.
3. 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 raise the temperature in the throat from 37℃ to 42℃, causing slight burns to the mucosa inside, leading to chronic thermal trauma and eventually laryngeal cancer.
4, smoking damage 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.
5. The harm 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.
