For every patient with cardiovascular disease, the first sentence when discharged from the hospital is: quit smoking!
Most people can hear it, and with it say: try, try!
Everyone knows that smoking is not good, but it is indeed more difficult to quit smoking.
We often meet patients who say that the neighbor Zhang Brother had a heart attack a month after quitting smoking! Uncle Li quit smoking in the community for half a year and had lung cancer!
On this basis, they proved that quitting smoking is not beneficial, but harmful, and even blamed serious diseases such as myocardial infarction and lung cancer after quitting smoking on quitting. That is to say, they believe that quitting smoking has caused myocardial infarction or lung cancer.
This is really the most nonsensical statement.
Developed a heart attack or lung cancer after quitting smoking?
Smoking for more than ten years or even decades has damaged blood vessels early, damaged the lungs, and left the foundation of myocardial infarction and lung cancer long ago. If you don't quit smoking, you can also have myocardial infarction or lung cancer. It just happened after quitting smoking that the responsibility for myocardial infarction and lung cancer was all shifted to quitting. Quit smoking and want to say: I don't carry this black pot!
A large number of studies and a large amount of data tell us that smoking is harmful to health, and smokers have a 2-3 times higher risk of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction than non-smokers. It is explained that smoking is one of the causes of myocardial infarction, so there are no reports that quitting smoking leads to myocardial infarction, except for a very few wild theories.
Smoking is the main cause of respiratory diseases, especially lung cancer, because smoking will increase the risk of lung cancer, so we have been advised to stay away from tobacco, even the lung cancer screening guidelines, also recommend that people who smoke more than 400 cigarettes a year should do lung CT once a year to exclude lung cancer. The long-term large number of smokers have a 10 to 20 times higher risk of lung cancer than non-smokers, the longer the smoking time, the higher the risk of lung cancer, the younger the age of starting smoking, the higher the chance of lung cancer.
Don't be a frog at the bottom of the well, sit in the well and look at the heavens and the earth and say: After quitting smoking, who has a myocardial infarction and lung cancer, which is caused by quitting smoking.
So objectively speaking, after quitting smoking, there are indeed some people who feel uncomfortable, first of all, there is less in their hands and mouths, and they are not adapted from behavior.
Secondly, smoking itself will make people addicted, then after quitting smoking, many people will feel that smoking addiction is committed, that is, a withdrawal reaction. Different people behave differently, such as some people are not energetic, some people are panicked, some people are empty, and so on. There are also many people who find themselves fat after quitting smoking!
According to reports, when quitting smoking, between half a year and a year, the ex-smokers gained 9 pounds, and 13% of them gained at least 20 pounds a year.
Even if this part of the people are also controlled in diet, they are still fat, and we know that obesity itself increases the risk of metabolic diseases, increases the risk of three highs and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
So why do we get fat after quitting smoking?
Recently, the journal Nature published a study that found that intestinal metabolites can help smokers who are "anorexic" due to nicotine and increase the absorption of nutrients. But when quitting smoking, there is no nicotine, then the ex-smoker is relatively less anorexic, which will make the body absorb too much nutrients and become fat!
Scientists, first through animal experiments, proved that intestinal flora disorders promote weight gain, especially during the smoking cessation period, this promotion effect is more obvious. So after the animal quits smoking, the weight will increase.
Subsequently, the scientists did similar experiments on more than 90 volunteers, and found that the results were consistent with the results of the study in animal experiments, further verifying the relationship between the intestinal microbiota and its metabolites after weight gain after quitting smoking.
The study concluded that:
After people smoke, they will cause "anorexia" because of nicotine, and "anorexia" may have an impact on weight. However, after the human body smokes, the human body will be accompanied by intestinal flora disorders, as well as changes in related metabolites, and the disorder of this intestinal flora and the change of metabolites can promote energy absorption during smoking, thereby counteracting the impact of "anorexia" behavior caused by nicotine on weight.
After quitting smoking, there is no interference with nicotine, and the anorexia behavior of the ex-smokers is reduced, but the intestinal flora and related metabolites cannot be restored, and the intestinal flora and metabolites are still changed, so the body will absorb too much nutrients, which will eventually lead to weight gain after quitting smoking.
Quit smoking should not be refused because it will lead to weight gain:
Some people see here, they secretly secretly rejoice, thinking that quitting smoking will be obese, obesity will be three high and cardiovascular disease, then we don't quit smoking!
First of all, obesity after quitting smoking is caused by long-term smoking caused by flora disorders and metabolite changes, so obesity after quitting smoking is caused by previous smoking.
Second, although smoking and obesity are harmful, we should quit smoking first and control our weight at the same time. And you can't break the jar and break it, or secretly change the concept of smoking cessation, think that quitting smoking is not good, think that quitting smoking will lead to obesity or other diseases, this view is a fallacy. This view is nothing more than a bad excuse for smokers to smoke.
In short, smoking is harmful to quitting, this is certain!
Although there may be some problems such as withdrawal reactions or obesity on the road to quitting smoking, the disadvantages caused by smoking are significantly smaller, and it is wise to manage your weight after quitting smoking and control your weight!
