Smoking. This can be argued, because doing what you want is a vice. I have noticed that many people are prone to this vice. I hope that the inhabitants of all the beautiful cities will come to their senses and abandon this vice.
Therefore, I recommend smokers to read the article.
To smoke or not to smoke?
Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health. He knows, but he’s blowing the smoke away.
Hardly anyone has heard that a drop of nicotine kills a horse. However, a person is not a horse, and the concept of “harm” is often perceived by people as something hypothetical and distant.
The thought is already simple, I personally will not be touched by that evil. After all, one cigarette won’t hurt.
Where there is one, there is the other, an unstoppable and predictable outcome.
In addition, a huge number of people smoke around, and everyone somehow lives and probably does not suffer. It is only at first glance.
In fact, such judgments are fundamentally wrong.The dangers of smoking are much closer than you might think.
Smoke and kill yourself slowly.
To be sure, it is enough to go to the nearest oncology department.
The shock will be ensured if you get acquainted with the gloomy statistics. If you think the consequences of smoking will be later. Well, about fifty, then you are wrong about that too.
If you doubt it, there are some facts that will definitely make you reconsider your views on this bad habit. It may help you to decide whether you need to stop smoking.
How many people die from smoking a year – the facts are shocking.
If you look at the statistics for tuberculosis, malaria or even HIV, the number of deaths from these diseases per year is simply staggering.
HOWEVER, many more people fall victim to the smoking habit. This is more than all the above diseases combined.
Moreover, this number does not stand still.The number of smoking-related deaths is increasing every year.
If in the XX century the total number of deaths was 100 million, then in the XXI century it can reach 1 billion people.
It should also be borne in mind that smokers tolerate other diseases much worse. They have a much higher risk of dying from any disease.
Do you know your chance of dying from smoking?
About 50/50, as every second smoker in the world dies from smoking-related diseases.
In addition, smoking leads to less obvious illnesses such as depression and even schizophrenia.
Tobacco kills passive smokers every year.
Often, when one person in the family smokes, the others become passive smokers.
It may seem that there is nothing wrong, for example, that smoke from the balcony is “drawn” into the apartment.
Yes, you guessed it, a light tobacco aroma will waft through the rooms. This is bad and dangerous!
Even in people who do not smoke themselves, secondhand smoke can cause cardiovascular disease. Up to coronary heart disease, and can also get lung cancer.
It is even more dangerous for pregnant women, as it can lead to the risk of sudden death of the newborn child.
In addition, various complications are possible during pregnancy itself.
Is there an easy way to quit smoking?
Forget about the cigarette!
Many smokers think they have willpower. Will want and quit. However, only a few manage to get rid of this deadly habit.
According to statistics, most smokers are aware of the dangers of smoking and dream of getting rid of the addiction.
Medical advice and prescriptions help, but not always. Not everyone can pay for specialist services. Moreover, such specialists are not available in all cities.
So it is always easier not to start than to quit painfully afterwards.
Hopefully, the above facts gave you some food for thought. If you don’t smoke yourself, be sure to let your friends and family who smoke read this article.
For smokers, you know
Unbelievable, but a great health hazard for smokers has been proven!
Dutch researchers have found that the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables increases the risk of cancer in smokers.
To be specific, health professionals from the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment have proven this with numerous tests surveying patients.
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables has been shown to increase the risk of colon cancer in smokers.
Bad news for smokers!
According to the authors of the study, it was previously believed that the preponderance of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet, among other things, is an effective way to prevent bowel cancer.
People who eat 600 grams or more of vegetables and fruits per day have a 20-25 percent lower risk of developing colon cancer.
Than those whose daily diet contains less than 220 grams of these products.
But it turned out that in reality these recommendations are valid only for those who are not addicted to this harmful vice.
Researchers surveyed about half a million people from ten European countries about their diet and smoking and then followed the respondents for 8.5 years.
Based on the results of the observations, the authors came to the conclusion that the substances in vegetables and fruits strengthen thecarcinogenic effects of abaca.
As a result, the probability of developing intestinal cancer in pipis with a “herbivore” diet only increases.
At the same time, for those who quit smoking, herbal products have the same preventive effect as non-smokers.
Commenting on the findings, Hans Verhagen of the Netherlands’ National Institute for Public Health and the Environment said:
“The results of the study should be a reason for smokers to quit smoking, not to give up fruits and vegetables.”
FYI pipers.
It’s time to get rid of this bad habit! Let’s see what is tobacco smoke? Tobacco smoke contains nitrogen, hydrogen, argon, methane and hydrogen cyanide.
At the same time, do not forget that smoke affects not only active, but also passive smokers.
It is estimated that every cigarette smoked shortens a person’s life by 5.5 minutes.
By the way, the average life expectancy of a smoker is 15 years less than that of non-smokers.
About 25% of regular (filtered) cigarette smokers will die prematurely from smoking. The percentage is higher for those who use cigars.
Have a nice day without cigarettes!
