1, the harm of smoking to women
1. bearing bears the brunt. In fact, smoking is not a man's patent. Now many women also have the habit of smoking. However, scientific research has found that female smoking is much more harmful to health than boys. Let Bian Xiao show you the harm of smoking to women.
2. Smoking can reduce the fertilization ability of eggs, and the possibility of infertility is 2.7 times higher. The situation will be even worse if the husband is a smoker. Because smoking will reduce sperm count and mobility, statistics show that smoking couples are 5.3 times more likely to be infertile than non-smoking couples.
3. Nicotine in tobacco will reduce the secretion of female sex hormones, leading to menstrual disorders. According to the investigation of California 1367 women aged from 18 to 44, it is found that 25% of smoking women have irregular menstruation, while the proportion of non-smoking women is only 18.6%.
4. The possibility of abortion of pregnant women is 10 times higher than that of non-smoking women, and the average fetal weight is reduced by 230 grams. The fetal mortality rate of smoking mothers before and after birth is also very high. If the mother smokes less than one pack a day, the mortality and risk of the fetus before and after birth is 20%. Smoking more than one pack a day is 35%.
Smoking in pregnant women has a bad influence on children's intelligence and physical development. Children will have some psychological and physical dysfunction before going to school. After entering school, their reading and calculating abilities are worse than those of non-smoking women's children, and their height is also lower than that of non-smoking women's children.
6. Compared with women who don't smoke, women who smoke have aging skin, many wrinkles and dark colors. In particular, the wrinkles on the upper and lower lips and corners of the eyes have increased significantly.
7. Smoking will reduce milk secretion, and nicotine will also enter the milk with the blood. Women who smoke 10-20 cigarettes a day can separate 0.4-0.5 mg of nicotine from 1 kg of milk. This is a serious threat to the baby's health.
2. Effective ways to quit smoking
Smoking cessation methods 1
1, Quit Smoking From now on, the method of quitting smoking completely or gradually reducing the number of smoking will generally be successful in 3 ~ 4 months.
2. Throw away all cigarettes, lighters, matches and ashtrays.
3. Avoid places or activities where you are used to smoking.
Drink water, eat fruit or take a walk after meals to get rid of the idea of smoking a cigarette after meals.
When the addiction comes, you should take a deep breath immediately, or chew sugar-free gum, and avoid using snacks instead of cigarettes, otherwise your blood sugar will rise and your body will be overweight.
6, resolutely refuse the temptation of cigarettes, often remind yourself that smoking another cigarette is enough to give up the plan to quit smoking.
Quitting smoking method 2
How to spend the first 5 days of quitting smoking? Provide the following seven ways to quit smoking.
L, drink 6-8 glasses of water between meals to promote nicotine excretion.
2, take a warm bath every day, you can take a shower immediately when you can't help smoking.
During the five days of quitting smoking, have a full rest and live a regular life.
4. Take an outdoor walk after dinner and take a deep breath 15-30 minutes.
5. Do not drink irritating drinks, and drink milk, fresh fruit juice and cereal drinks instead.
6. Try to avoid eating poultry food, fried food, sweets and desserts.
7, you can eat a variety of vitamin B groups, which can calm the nerves and eliminate nicotine.
3. What fruit do you eat when you quit smoking?
1, Apple.
Flavonoids in apples also help to prevent lung cancer. People who often eat foods containing flavonoids, especially apples, reduce the incidence of lung cancer by 46%. In addition, the latest research by Cornell University in the United States also found that apples contain a lot of antioxidants. Apples peeled are easily oxidized. You can soak them in cold boiling water, which can prevent oxidation and make them crisp and sweet.
2. Kiwifruit.
Kiwifruit tastes sweet but cold, and has the effects of relieving fever, quenching thirst, relieving stranguria and strengthening stomach. Kiwifruit contains sugar and protein, and is rich in amino acids, 12 proteases, vitamins B 1, C, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium, chlorine and pigments. Its vitamin C content is five to six times that of the same amount of citrus. Kiwifruit can block the active components of nitrosamine synthesis, the blocking rate is 98%, and it has the effect of inhibiting cancer cells. So kiwifruit is a good fruit for nourishing and strengthening the body.
3. grapes.
Long-term smokers should eat more grapes, because smokers tend to accumulate a lot of toxins in their lungs, and the ingredients contained in grapes can help lung cells detoxify.
4, the harm of second-hand smoke
1, lung cancer
According to the data of China Food Network, secondhand smoke often contains more harmful substances than mainstream smoke, such as 2 times of nicotine, 3 times of tar, 5 times of carbon monoxide and 50 times of carcinogens. According to calculation, in places with poor ventilation, the amount of cigarettes inhaled by non-smokers within 1 hour is equivalent to the average dose of one cigarette inhaled. The survey shows that the probability of smokers suffering from lung cancer is significantly higher than that of non-smokers. By analyzing the smoke inhaled by smokers, it is found that the smoke contains dozens of carcinogens. The risk of lung cancer is related to the length of smoking. The earlier you start smoking, the greater the risk. The longer you smoke, the higher the incidence and mortality of lung cancer.
Compared with men, women are more harmed by tobacco. Some women who live with smokers are six times more likely to develop lung cancer than ordinary people. It should be reminded that the risk of lung cancer among female smokers is also more serious, which is 1 and 9 times that of male smokers. Secondhand smoke is as harmful to passive smokers as active smokers, especially to pregnant women and children. Some studies have pointed out that if you spend more than 15 minutes with smokers every day, the harm of "second-hand smoke" is equivalent to that of smokers. 75% of lung cancer patients were finally investigated whether they smoked or not.
2. Damage to memory
Harmful substances such as nicotine in smoke stimulate the brain, which will harden the cerebral vessels and affect brain function. Children who have been passively smoking for a long time have significantly worse intellectual development than those who grew up in a non-smoking environment.
Non-smokers who are often exposed to second-hand smoke scored 20% lower in the memory test than another group of non-smokers. Smokers perform worse, scoring 30% lower than non-smokers who are not exposed to secondhand smoke regularly.
3, causing asthma, pneumonia and ear inflammation in children.
Children are the biggest victims of environmental pollution. Usually, children will experience higher environmental exposure than adults, and they will breathe more air than adults, thus inhaling more pollutants. Coupled with the hyperactivity of children, poor self-protection ability and imperfect immune function, they are most vulnerable to pollutants. If the father smokes at home, the children will not do anything against it at all, nor will they do anything to protect themselves. They can only be forced to smoke secondhand smoke. However, the harm of second-hand smoke to children's health mainly includes: infant asthma, sudden infant death syndrome, tracheitis, pneumonia, ear inflammation and so on.
4, coronary heart disease
Smoking can cause heart disease, which applies not only to those who really smoke, but also to non-smokers who are exposed to second-hand smoke. Exposure to secondhand smoke can lead to acute coronary heart disease, and even short-term exposure to secondhand smoke can dramatically increase the risk of coronary heart disease, which is beyond doubt in biology.
Smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease in men by 4 to 6 times and in women by 6 to 9 times; Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke will increase the risk of death from heart disease in non-smoking women, and second-hand smoke will significantly increase the incidence of coronary heart disease, ischemic stroke and peripheral vascular disease in women. The reason why passive smoking leads to coronary heart disease is that the chemicals inhaled by passive smoking can make blood lipid abnormal, blood sticky, destroy myocardial tissue, reduce the ability of blood vessels to regulate blood pressure and blood flow, and then increase the risk of myocardial infarction.
5. Injuries to pregnant women and babies
Harmful substances such as nicotine can be detected in 90% amniotic fluid of pregnant women who are passively exposed to second-hand smoke, indicating that tobacco smoke directly pollutes the intrauterine environment of fetal growth. China Chijing reminded that second-hand smoke exposure is an important risk factor for pregnancy-induced hypertension and pregnancy complications; At the same time, secondhand smoke exposure has a serious impact on its health in many aspects from the beginning of the fetus. Secondhand smoke exposure can also affect the proliferation and differentiation of embryonic cells, leading to abnormal embryonic development, which is manifested as nervous system development disorder and intrauterine growth retardation.
If the mother inhales secondhand smoke for a long time during pregnancy, most harmful chemicals released by tobacco burning can "harass" innocent babies through the placenta. In particular, toxic gases such as carbon monoxide will reduce the blood oxygen concentration in the mother's body, leading to fetal hypoxia; Nicotine, an addictive drug in tobacco, can cause blood vessel stenosis and slow blood flow, which means that the nutrition and oxygen provided to the fetus will be reduced, which is easy to cause premature delivery of the baby. However, premature infants are prone to respiratory, digestive, thermoregulation and other functional disorders, and even die shortly after birth.
6, pharyngitis
Long-term secondhand smoke is a common cause of chronic pharyngitis. Tar, nicotine, nicotine and other harmful substances in smoke can inhibit the activity of cilia in respiratory tract, weaken the purification ability of respiratory tract, cause congestion and edema of bronchial mucosa, make external pathogens enter bronchi, cause repeated infections in this part, and then lead to chronic pharyngitis.
Secondhand smoke is more harmful than smoking, because smoke contains more harmful substances than smokers inhale, and people who smoke secondhand smoke for a long time contain more substances such as carbon monoxide and nicotine than smokers themselves, so the probability of suffering from chronic pharyngitis is greater than others.
7, leading to female infertility
Clinically, smoking will have adverse effects on women's reproductive function, sexual function and endocrine, and increase the risk of infertility. Clinical investigation shows that direct and passive smokers are 2.7 times more likely to suffer from infertility than non-smokers. At the same time, smoking will seriously damage women's reproductive function, leading to a lower probability of pregnancy. If both men and women smoke at the same time, the pregnancy rate of women will be lower.
8, leading to leukemia and tumors
A study in the United States shows that smoking by a husband will increase the risk of leukemia by seven times for a non-smoking wife. The risk of breast cancer and cervical cancer in women aged 6-45 who smoke passively at home is 3-4 times that of women in non-smoking families.
Due to the carcinogenicity of tobacco, the proportion of adults and children suffering from blood diseases, especially leukemia, has greatly increased. According to statistics, the benzene inhaled by smokers is 10 times that of non-smokers, so the probability of leukemia of smokers is 6-7 times that of non-smokers. According to the statistics of risk factors of childhood leukemia in Xinhua Hospital, more than 60% children with leukemia have second-hand smoke pollution in their families. It shows that smoking plays an important role in the pathogenic factors of leukemia.
