Tobacco is native to South America, introduced to Europe in the 16th century, and then spread from Europe to the world, and China was introduced during the Ming Dynasty. During the Jiajing period, the Portuguese living in Macao swallowed clouds and vomited fog in public, and Zhang Rulin, a Fellow Scholar of Macao, wrote in the "Macao Chronicle" that the Portuguese smoked: "The paper roll is like a pen tube, and it is smoked and eaten by burning the fire." Under the bud of capitalism, Chinese ideas gradually opened up, and smoking was considered a fashionable thing.
Over the past 400 years, smoking has become a common thing in China, and there are 320 million smokers in China. Smoke will release 38 kinds of toxic chemicals when burning, tar, carbon monoxide, nicotine are particularly affecting the health of the things, that 320 million smokers in the smoking at the same time, did not think that smoking will affect life? Here's a British scientist who studied this for 50 years and came to a conclusion that no one wants to see.
Smoke in the World War II period by many countries included in the military supplies, can not only be used as medicine to stop bleeding, but also can be used as a relief of stress materials, the German army can have 6 cigarettes per person per day, the US army per person per day a whole pack. Soldiers who survived World War II did not expect that they did not die in the war but their life expectancy was greatly reduced by smoke, and in 1947, Richard Dole, an epidemiological scientist at oxford university in the United Kingdom, noticed that only about 200 British people died of lung cancer every year before World War II, but the number of people who died of lung cancer after World War II climbed to tens of thousands.
He enlisted Austin Hill, a pioneer in randomized clinical trials, to investigate, and later to find that many of the people who died were old smoking guns, and he speculated that smoking might shorten their lives, and to confirm whether this speculation was correct, they launched a 58-year follow-up investigation.
After more than 50 years of investigation, Richard found that there is a huge difference in the lungs of smokers and non-smokers, smokers' lungs are blackened by nicotine, the longer the smoking age, the darker the lungs, the higher the chance of cancer, and the non-smokers' lungs are healthy red, and the chance of getting cancer is small. Richard based on experiments that people who smoked continuously had an overall lifespan of 10 years less than those who did not smoke.
"Smoking is harmful to health" these 6 words have all seen on the cigarette box, in fact, this is an old grandmother in the United States to fight for 7 years to win, her husband is a perennial smoker, because smoking got lung cancer soon after died, the grandmother in order to remind the world, the tobacco factory sued the court, played 7 years to win, from this time the cigarette box must be marked with the word "smoking harmful to health", and the display area must not be less than 1/3 of the cigarette box.
There are many factors for getting lung cancer, but smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer, and the probability of smoking contracting lung cancer is as high as 70%-80%, the probability of non-smoking people getting lung cancer is less than 1%, and more than 6 million people die of diseases caused by smoking every year, if not controlled by 2030, this death number will reach 800.
In 1989, World No Tobacco Day was commemorated with a special change from the previous 7 April to 31 May, the day before Children's Day, in the hope that smoke would not plague the next generation. As everyone knows, when adults smoke, children are also suffering from sin, children's long-term smoking of second-hand smoke will affect intellectual development, appetite, height, and even suffer from malignant tumors, in recent years, children with malignant tumors, 1/3 is affected by second-hand smoke.
Many smokers do not take smoking cessation as a thing, think that people who do not smoke also have 4, 50 years old to die, smokers also live to seven or eighty, this kind of thing can only be said to see who the goddess of luck will come to, if the goddess of luck is willing to take care of a certain smoker, he may be able to live longer, but without the luck of the person to bear the drawbacks of tobacco, and your family and children also have to follow you to take risks together to shorten their life, are you willing to take the health of yourself and your family to bet on whether you are the lucky smoker who is cared for?
