The 21-year-old is a bar-resident singer who screams on stage late into the night every night. In order to maintain the hoarse feeling of his voice, he developed the habit of smoking, and had to smoke 1-2 packs of cigarettes a day.
Xiao Li prides himself on being in good health and never takes smoking seriously. It wasn't until one day that he suddenly coughed badly on stage, and the sputum he coughed up was still bloodshot, that Xiao Li realized the seriousness of the matter.
Xiao Li went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor asked, "Do you smoke a cigarette?"
"Pump, what's wrong?" Xiao Li said disappreciably, "I'm in good health, what is smoking." "
"Do you know that your indicators have been seriously exceeded?" The doctor pointed to the test sheet and said in a serious tone, "Your blood routine shows chronic inflammation, if you continue like this, you will not be far from lung cancer!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing Xiao Li dizzy.
He sat down and muttered, "Doctor, I really didn't know smoking was so scary. I thought I was young and I would be fine with smoking. "
The doctor said, "Smoking is addictive in the first place, and you can't control your craving at all." There are thousands of harmful substances in cigarettes that can seriously damage the respiratory system. ”
"If you smoke for a long time, you will develop emphysema; Look, doesn't this kind of body give you a wake-up call?"
"Then my throat is also a cigarette?" Xiao Li asked in frustration.
"Of course!" The doctor said, "Smoking can make the vocal cords congested and swollen and hoarse; Long-term high temperature stimulation can also cause vocal cord nodules, polyps, and even cancer. Besides, don't you notice that your teeth are all yellow? Smoking accelerates gum recession and causes gum cancer. "
Xiao Li pleaded with the doctor: "Doctor, I was wrong! I'll definitely change it! Do you think I'm still in time?"
"There's still hope." The doctor was relieved, "As long as you make up your mind to quit smoking and receive standardized treatment, the condition can still be controlled." ”
"But you have to be prepared for a long time, because the harm of smoking is all-round and long-lasting, it not only affects the respiratory system, but also increases the cardiovascular burden, impairs immune function, and destroys fertility...... In short, it can do the work of hollowing out the body! Don't leave anything to chance. "
Xiao Li nodded again and again: "Doctor, I will definitely listen to you, and I will quit from today!" You are my reborn parents!"
Xiao Li's story is a wake-up call for countless smokers. Many people, especially young people, always think that smoking is a "man's romance" and a "sign of maturity".
As everyone knows, smoking brings terrible addiction and immeasurable health hazards. How many of those living smokers are really "healthy"?
In fact, the harm of smoking to the body is comprehensive and insidious.
It not only makes people "lung pain and shortness of breath", but also causes cardiovascular problems such as arrhythmia and high blood pressure; It not only makes men "premature aging and fast aging", but also leads to decreased sexual function and low sperm motility; It not only makes women "haggard", but also increases the risk of infertility and miscarriage.
It can be said that smoking is a "dummy bullet" shot at oneself, and its harm is something that no one can afford.
Quitting smoking is not achieved overnight, we need to deal with it with wisdom and courage: we must establish a determination to quit smoking and seek professional guidance to quit smoking; Behavioral substitution therapy should be used to divert attention from cigarettes; It is necessary to create a smoke-free environment and stay away from the temptation of tobacco; We should cherish the support of family and friends, and use family affection and love to "treat" smoking addiction......
As long as we abide by the motto that "smoking is harmful to health" and use "good medicine" and "strong medicine" at the same time, there will be no addiction to smoking that cannot be stopped.
Xiao Li's lesson deserves everyone's vigilance. Smoking, not face and dashing, but a chronic murder of life; Quitting smoking is not a weakness and avoidance, but a brave choice to be responsible for your health.
Only by staying away from tobacco and embracing fresh and free air can we reap the freedom of a smoke-free life.
Do you have anything to say about that?
