As a man, if you don't smoke or drink, you always feel that there is no fun, as if you have come to the world for nothing.
How can you have a banquet without wine? How can you make friends without wine? How can you relieve all kinds of melancholy without wine?
How can we see the world through the smoke without smoke? How can we relieve loneliness without smoke?
My children always advised me to quit smoking and drinking, but I was very repulsed by this. The only hobby left in my life is to be deprived by them.
But they always say that people should still focus on health when they are old, smoking and drinking is a loss of their health and lifespan, they persuaded more, and the doctor said more times, and I gradually believed it, but recently I saw the health of two acquaintances around me, which made me confused, and I now have doubts about this statement.
My name is Wang Jun, 62 years old this year, I am a retired enterprise employee, with a retirement salary of more than 4,000, my wife passed away a few years ago, and now I live alone, and my children occasionally come back to see me.
I don't have to worry about food and clothing now, I don't have any major health problems, and I am very content with my current life.
I usually get together with friends occasionally, drink a little wine, reminisce about the past, and talk about the present, and I always feel less melancholy when I have a cigarette when I am lonely.
In fact, when I was young, I didn't drink a drip, and my wife married me because she didn't smoke, didn't drink, and was loyal and honest.
But life is always unsatisfactory, my wife had a serious illness soon after getting married, and the family had no savings at that time, so I had to borrow money from everywhere to make up for the surgery.
At that time, my heart was too afraid of losing my wife, and I was very anxious, on the one hand, I was afraid that it would not be cured, and on the other hand, I was afraid that it would be empty, in order to relieve the pressure, I learned to smoke, and this smoking is most of my life, and I have not quit yet, although I don't smoke too much, only two boxes a day.
And I was able to learn to drink, also because I followed others to learn to speculate in stocks when I was young, and the tens of thousands of dollars I had worked hard to save were trapped, at that time I could only use alcohol to numb myself, and I was drunk every night, but fortunately, I survived that dark moment, and it was also wine that accompanied me through that unbearable past.
Now, I love the feeling of dizziness that wine gives me, and sometimes it makes me forget my worries.
It was because of my dedication to tobacco and alcohol that I couldn't make up my mind to quit because of the doctor's admonition and the persuasion of my children, but just when I made up my mind to embark on the so-called healthy life, I was really confused when I saw the health status of my two relatives.
Wang Cheng is my classmate, we have been classmates from elementary school to high school, and he finally became the husband of my sister-in-law.
Because of these two relationships, we are very familiar and understand each other.
Wang Cheng is a junior high school teacher, he always teaches children not to smoke and drink, and he always sets an example for children not to smoke or drink.
I often joked to him, "What's the point of living in this life, is it just to save money?"
But Wang Cheng said disdainfully, "Smoking and drinking is wasting your life, joking with your life, the cigarettes you smoke and the wine you drink will hurt your body when you don't know it." ”
He also always advised me to pay attention to my health, and when I get old, I should quit these bad Xi, but his words of comfort still lingered in my ears, and he was admitted to the hospital for lung cancer last month.
At that time, I was very surprised, and very strange, thinking that the hospital had made a mistake, how could a person who had never smoked get lung cancer.
But the final result is often devastating, that is, lung cancer, and it is advanced, I don't know what Wang Cheng thinks in his heart, I always feel that fate is so ironic, I, an old smoker, don't have any major health problems, although there is a bit of bronchitis, but he has collapsed.
When I went to attend my colleague's father's 90th birthday last month, I started to get confused again.
Although I am now retired, I still have contact with my colleagues who used to work, and Li Baotian is one of them, because he is my drinking friend, and we often get together.
His father's 90th birthday, in order to let the old man have a lively birthday, he invited relatives, friends and colleagues who got along well to the house to celebrate the old man's birthday.
The 90-year-old man was deaf and blind, and he frequently toasted us at the wine table to thank us, and from time to time he would light himself a cigarette.
I was so surprised to see the old man who was so free and easy to live.
I secretly asked Li Baotian, "Your father still smokes and drinks?"
Li Baotian laughed, "Of course, my father has to drink one or two drinks every day, he has 70 years of smoking experience, I can learn to smoke and drink, all because of his edification." ”
"You don't care about him, why don't you let him quit?" I asked, puzzled.
"Look at my father's state, what do I have to worry about? He is better than me, and I am not qualified to educate him. Li Baotian said with a serious face.
At that time, I was speechless, but it was true, the old man was red-faced, and he was more energetic than I looked at.
After attending the old man's birthday party, I had a contradiction in my heart, why can an old man who smokes and drinks all year round be so healthy, while a person who lives a regular life and quit smoking and drinking loses his health early, why is this?
I have always felt that smoking and drinking are indeed harmful to the body, but the examples of Wang Cheng and Li Baotian's father are so inexplicable.
I told my children about my confusion, and the explanation they gave was that Li Baotian's father's longevity was an accident, and "Is Wang Cheng, who doesn't smoke or drink, another accident?"
Tell me, how much does it have to do with people getting sick and smoking and drinking?
What exactly is the secret of longevity?
