Preface
Wang Fang is a 59-year-old accountant who has worked diligently for most of her life.
Her husband Liu Qiang is a construction worker, and the two have been together for decades, and although they are poor, they are also happy.
It wasn't until that day that Wang Fang was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer that Liu Qiang suddenly realized that his wife's "little hobby" had caused such a catastrophe.
It turned out that Wang Fang was addicted to smoking as early as her 20s, and 5 cigarettes a day was simply "standard" for her.
Liu Qiang often advised her to quit smoking, but Wang Fang always looked indifferent: "Just a few sticks a day, what can it be? "
Looking at his weak wife on the hospital bed, Liu Qiang regretted not being at the beginning. He secretly complained: If he knew that there would be today, he should have stopped it in the first place, even if he quarreled!
In fact, there are many people like Wang Fang who do not know enough about the dangers of smoking.
Many people think that smoking a few cigarettes a day is harmless, but they don't know that this will push the body into the abyss for a long time.
Medical studies have shown that smoking is the number one culprit of lung cancer.
The smoke produced by tobacco combustion contains hundreds of harmful substances, among which polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and nitrosamines are recognized as carcinogens.
Long-term inhalation of these toxins can cause continuous irritation and damage to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, leading to genetic mutations and cancer.
Not only that, but smoking also increases the risk of many diseases such as heart disease and stroke.
It can be said that no organ can escape under the "devastation" of smoke.
Many people think that smoking a cigarette when they are young is not a big deal, but they don't realize that the root cause is being planted in the body.
Take Wang Fang as an example, her tumor has spread to lymph nodes, and the prognosis is not optimistic.
The doctor told Liu Qiang that if it had been detected a few years earlier, surgical resection and supplemented with radiotherapy and chemotherapy would have greatly prolonged the survival time.
It's a pity that it's too late, so I can only try to alleviate the pain and let Wang Fang finish the last journey of her life peacefully.
Saddened by the loss of his beloved wife, Liu Qiang was overwhelmed with grief. He hated his ignorance and cowardice at the beginning, and even more hated the lack of awareness of the dangers of smoking.
He vowed to spend the rest of his life reminding those around him that "a few cigarettes a day" is not a "normal amount", but a "quantity" that leads to illness and death!
Liu Qiang's story is thought-provoking. In fact, many people have misunderstandings about smoking:
1. Feeling that smoking is only a "minor problem" and that the harm is limited.
In fact, smoking significantly increases the risk of many diseases and is a serious health hazard.
2. Feeling that smoking among young people has little impact.
In fact, the accumulated harm of smoking in the early years can lay the foundation for later diseases, and the harm of smoking at a young age may be even greater.
3. Feel like you're fine as long as you don't "overdose".
But the truth is that smoking itself is harmful, no matter how much you smoke. The World Health Organization makes it clear that there is no safe dose for smoking.
Therefore, whether young or young, whether you smoke a few sticks or a pack, if you want to be healthy, you can only say no to tobacco.
If it's really hard to quit, you may want to seek help from your doctor or try tobacco substitutes to gradually reduce the amount of cigarettes you smoke until you are completely free from the dangerous temptation of nicotine.
Wang Fang's experience is a wake-up call for us to face up to the harm of smoking, to take practical actions to love ourselves, treat life kindly, and not bring endless grief to relatives and friends.
After all, to be alive is to have infinite possibilities; Only when you are healthy can you have a happy tomorrow!
