Let's first pick up the dangers of smoking, which is not alarmist. When you light a cigarette, you may think it's relaxing, but in fact, your body is already starting to have problems. There are too many chemicals in this smoke to count, and more than 70 carcinogens are like a swarm of hungry locusts. It gets into your lungs and slowly dyes them black.
Now that we're talking about this, you might think, I don't smoke it every day, and the occasional one is so serious? Let me tell you, tobacco is a chronic thing, like a frog boiled in warm water. The smoker's lungs, year after year, are like smoked bacon, and there is nothing to see on the outside, but it is already dilapidated inside.
The smokers' lungs, day after day, inhale the smoke deeply, slowly becoming like a warehouse where waste is constantly piling up. Don't look at the lungs and don't cry out for pain, when you feel its pain, it may be the time when it can't bear it anymore. If you really get to that point, the gift packages of pneumonia and lung cancer are not door-to-door benefits, but the beginning of pain!
Let's talk about cardiovascular disease, do you think that only the lungs are suffering from smoking? Smokers are not, nicotine in tobacco is also a big enemy of blood vessels. If the endothelial cells are damaged, vasospasm, chest tightness, and angina will follow. In the long run, the blood vessels are like blocked oil pipes, arteriosclerosis, and insufficient blood supply to the heart.
Don't think that the disease is only looking for the elderly, high blood pressure is something that young people can't stop. The chemical elements in tobacco are like time bombs, ready to detonate your blood pressure at any time.
If you are addicted to smoking, try to hold back in the following three time periods!
1. Get up early, many smokers feel that they can be spiritual, but in fact, the harm is hidden in it. When you get up in the morning, your stomach is empty, and if you don't eat any food, you can order one, and nicotine and various carcinogens will enter your body and be more easily absorbed by you!
2. One cigarette after a meal, as the old saying goes: A cigarette after a meal is better than a living fairy. I don't know if I'm not a fairy, but smoking after meals will increase the secretion of bile, which is easy to cause various gastrointestinal diseases.
3. One before going to bed, smoking for a long time before going to bed will lead to insomnia, and liver function will be impaired!
Smoking doesn't just hurt you, it's also those who are innocent passive smokers. When you enjoy the so-called pleasure brought by tobacco, the people next to you, including your closest family members, are helplessly "sharing" this second-hand goods with you. Children and the elderly, their resistance is not strong, and the harm of smoke to them is self-evident.
Smoking can also be socially stressful. There are fewer and fewer places to go without smoke, and smokers often become "outsiders". In this era of advocating healthy living, smoking is not only a personal habit, but also a social burden.
Finally, let's talk about quitting smoking. This is by no means an easy task, but it is not an impossible task either. Many people have tried countless times and always fall short. But as long as there is determination and scientific methods, one day we can succeed. The process of quitting smoking is painful, but everyone who sticks with it will tell you that it's worth it. Fresh air, a healthy body, and those who are protected because you quit smoking are all beautiful rewards for quitting smoking.
Smoking seems to be a trend, a habit, and even a culture. But is this kind of culture really worth passing on? We all know that health is the cornerstone of life, and without health, everything is zero. Maybe now is the right time for us to take action, for the sake of our bodies, for ourselves, and for our families to cheer up and quit cigarettes!
Quitting smoking can be a long battle, but every victory in resisting temptation is a responsibility for one's own health. We should not let a small cigarette kidnap our precious lives and health.
Each of our little habits may accumulate into the way we live. Let's choose health, let the fresh air bring new hope, and make our lives brighter and better. Quitting smoking is not only a personal victory, but also a manifestation of social responsibility.
Nowadays, more smokers are joining the ranks of quitting smoking, which is not only an individual progress, but also a manifestation of the progress of civilization in the whole society. Each of us can be a part of this change, so let's breathe clean air and embrace a smoke-free future.
