Brother Binbin, an anti-cancer Internet celebrity, was only 36 years old and passed away on April 10. His loss is heart-wrenching, but it also makes us more aware of the dangers posed by betel nut. Beginning on January 10, his cough and chest pain lasted for three months, and he experienced endless pain and suffering during his days in the hospital.
Betel nut, a traditional oral stimulant, was once seen as a pastime. However, the example of the little brother shows us that the harm of betel nut should not be underestimated.
Eating too much betel nut can cause oral cancer, which is common knowledge that everyone knows. However, in reality, there are still many people who do not realize the seriousness of the problem. It is precisely because many people do not have a good understanding of the dangers of betel nut that many tragedies have occurred.
Betel nut contains a large number of chemicals, including a variety of carcinogens. If betel nut is chewed for a long time, these harmful substances will penetrate into the oral mucosa, causing continuous irritation and damage to the oral tissues. Eventually, the risk of cancer ensues.
The example of the little brother is not unique. Every year, many people suffer from oral cancer and even die because of eating too much betel nut. However, this harm is still overlooked by many people. They either love the taste or are influenced by betel nut advertisements and unknowingly become slaves of betel nut.
Betel nut not only poses a risk to the health of individuals, but also has a huge negative impact on social stability and economic development. Betel nut chewers often spit out a lot of red betel nut residue, which not only brings pollution to the surrounding environment, but also has a negative impact on the overall image of the city. In addition, there are many unreasonable and unhealthy phenomena in the production, sales and packaging of betel nut.
To change this, we need to work together. First of all, individuals should enhance their awareness of self-protection and stay away from the "poisonous fruit" of betel nut. Second, the government should increase regulation of the betel nut industry and restrict its production and sales. Most importantly, the media and the public should also launch more awareness campaigns about the dangers of betel nut to raise awareness among the general public.
The passing of Brother Binbin makes us cherish life more and pay more attention to health. Whether it is for ourselves, or for our families and society, let us call together: stay away from betel nut and the threat of oral cancer!
Through the story of the little brother, we understand the price behind the betel nut. Let's work together to protect our health with actions and stay away from the temptation of betel nut. Only in this way can we truly usher in a future free from the dangers of betel nut.
