Smoking - B.red!

Smoking is one of the most harmful habits.

Researchthey proven that smoking is harmful to health. Tobacco smoke contains more 30 poisonous substances: nicotine, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, silic acid, ammonia, resinous substances, organic acids and others.

1-2 Putting cigarettes contain deadly dose of nicotine. The smokers saves that this dose is injected into the body not immediately, but fractional. Statistical data say : Compared with non-smoking, doubling in13 times often sneak angina, in12 once -myocardial infarction, 1-1 Istomach star. Smokers make up96 – 100% all lung cancer patients.Each seventh, for a long time, smoking is sick with obliterating endarterity - the grave disease of the blood vessels.

Tobacco products are prepared from dried listiev Tobacco, which contain Proteins, carbohydrates, mineral salts, fiber, enzymes, fatty acids and others. Among them, it is important to note two groups of substances dangerous to humans - nicotine and isoprenoids.

According to the quantitative content in the leaves of tobacco and the strength of the action to various organs and systems of the personnicotinenationalmails first place. He penetrates in the body together with the tobacco smoke, which includes, exceptnicotine, substances of annoying actionia, including carcinogenic byNZPIREN and Dibenzpiren,thatthere are contributing to the emergence of malignantolya, a lot of carbon dioxide - 9.5% (in atmospheric air - O. O46 %) and carbon oxide -5% (in atmosphericthere is no air).

Nicotinerefers tonervous poisons. In animal experiments and observations over peopleinstalled, whatnicotinein small doses excites Nervous cells contribute to the study of breathing and heartbeat, violation of heart rhythm,toshnote I.vomit. In large dosesbrakesand then paralyzes the activity of CNS cells, including vegetative. The disorder of the nervous system is manifested by a decrease in working capacity, hand shake, memory weakening.

Especially harmful smoking for children and adolescents. Not yet faster nervous and blood systems are painfully reacting to tobacco.

Besidesnicotine, negative impact And other components of tobacco smoke. Upon admission to the body of carbon monoxide, oxygen starvation is developed, due to Togo,whatcurmarket gas is easier to connect with hemoglobin than oxygen and delivered with blood to alltabsand man's organs.

In experimentinstalled That in 70% of mice that inhaled tobacco smoke developed malignant tumors of the lungs. Cancer in smoking people occurs 20 times more often than non-smoking. The longer a person smokes, the more chances of die from this heavy disease.

Very often, smoking leads to the development of chronic bronchitis, accompanied by a constant cough and unpleasant odor from mouth. As a result chronic inflammation Bronchi expands, bronchiectases are formed with heavy consequences - pneumosclerosis, emphysemic lungs, with the so-called light heartleading to blood circulation deficiency.itand determines appearance The avid smokers: a hoarse voice, an outstanding face, shortness of breath.

Great role of smoking and in the occurrence of tuberculosis. Thus, 35 of the Yuo people suffering from them, by the time of the beginning of the disease they smoked.

Often smokers are experiencing pain in the heart. This is due to the spasm of coronary vessels that feed the muscle of the heart with the development of angina (coronary heart failure). Myocardial infarction in smoking is found in 3 times more often than non-smoking.

Smokingcancall nicotine amblyopy. In a patient sufferingthatailment, comes partial or complete blindness. This is a very formidable disease, in which even energetic treatment is not always successful.

Smoking are dangerous not only themselves, but also around people. In medicine, even the term "passive smoking" appeared. In the body of non-smoking people after staying in a crumpled and not exhaust room, a significant concentration is determined nicotine.

Love for the youngergeneration of our Motherland encourages We will warn you young men and girls from smoking!

On packs of cigarettes today you can see many different frightening pictures, which enhance nicotinically dependent people with healthy prospects with health. Most smokers do not react in any way to such images, nor on the admonition of doctors, naively believing or justifying themselves by the fact that the harm of smoking is very exaggerated. However, against the facts and statistics will not be adjusted: every year 5 million people die in the world, and did not have time to abandon this.

Harm to smoking cigarettes

Harm from smoking is not the myth and empty shifters of doctors. In order to soberly assess all the severity of these words, it will be sufficient to simply find out that one cigarette contains over 4 thousand toxic substances, among which 3 are deadly:

  • toxic gases;
  • nicotine;
  • resin.

Influence of smoking on the human body

Smoking harms health - this is a fact! But few know what is happening at the very moment nicotine injuries of the body:

  1. During a tightening nicotine, resinous and toxic substances, combustion products, such as soot, soot and gases penetrate and affect all organs of the respiratory system.
  2. During the year in the lung alveoli, there are about 1 kg of toxic resins.
  3. Skin, skeleton, liver and food system get tremendous harm from smoking.
  4. From the side of the nervous system is addictive to nicotine, akin to narcotic.
  5. The respiratory tract throughout the smoking life is in the mode of not passing inflammation, which provokes the development of oncology, bronchi pathologies and chronic cough, as a protective reaction of the organism on toxic substances.
  6. Cigarettes significantly reduce immunity, make the body unstable to infections and viruses and also negatively affect brain performance.

Regular smoking is negatively reflected at the work of all systems and organs. But the harm of smoking for women, especially those who, or pregnant women, increases many times and applies not only to the future mother, but also on the child, even if it is not yet in the womb, and the baby appears only in plans for the future. What awaits "smoking" mother:

  • insufficient child's weight at birth;
  • high mortality rate at birth;
  • prematurity of the fetus;
  • congenital pathologies;
  • miscarriage and;
  • delays in the development of children.

The effect of smoking on the nervous system

The nervous system is the most organized and the fragile link in our body. Mentioning about the dangers of smoking, first of all, should be considered a dangerous influence of tobacco on the NA. Addictive is one of the most important criteria than that harmful smoking. Avoid smokers when tightening felt the tide, activation of mental activity, peace and concentration. It is to some extent true, because Nicotine, like a drug, when entering the body, activates the center of pleasure in the brain, making smokers by nicotine "slaves."

The defeat of the highest nervous system, which flow into asocial behavior, attacks of aggression, irritability. The peripheral nervous system also suffers from tobacco. Result:

  • neuritis;
  • radiculitis;
  • polyneurite.

Influence of smoking on the brain

The negative effect of smoking on the body is very large. The components of the tobacco smoke are most sensitive to the CNS and the brain. Under the influence of nicotine, the brain vessels are narrowed by causing brain hypoxia, and as a result develops:

  • weakening of memory;
  • systematic headaches;
  • scattered attention;
  • the weakening of bioelectric activity of the brain;

The effect of smoking on the cardiovascular system

In addition, the harm of smoking applies to the cardiovascular system. The risk of developing cardiological pathologies for smokers increases 5 times! What causes the pathological effect of smoking on the heart?

  1. Hypoonsemia - blood oxygen deficiency, developing against the background of many years of smoking, is the cause of many cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis.
  2. Nicotine contributes not only to increase the pressure in vessels and an increase in the load on them, but also increases the level of catecholamines (neurotransmitters) in the blood.
  3. Tobacco resins cause spasm of vessels, which leads to their damage and to enhanced heart work due to the lack of oxygen. The result of this influence is.
  4. Increased thrombosis leads to heart attacks, strokes.

The effect of smoking on the gastrointestinal

Over 65% of the development and aggravation of the ulcer of the stomach is associated with nicotine addiction, and this is another weighty reason why it is harmful to smoke.

  1. Smoking disrupts the nervous and humoral regulation of the stomach, with the result that the smoker may experience either strong hunger or complete absence Appetite. Because of such a violation, the digestion system throws the substance necessary for digestion (acid, bile), regardless of whether food in the stomach was released.
  2. Each tightening provokes a spasm of a smooth muscles and inhibits the intestinal work, so that food can stagnate in upper parts GTS, not giving the body to absorb all the necessary nutrients.
  3. Most of the poisoning compounds of tobacco smoke with saliva fall into the stomach, and even the small doses of their doses are enough to cause inflammation of the gastric mucosa.

Harm smoking hookah

Such a popular Eastern fun with a fruit flavored smoke at first glance seems absolutely harmless. But is it really harmful to smoke hookah? It is necessary to deal with this, because the popularity of such a service in many entertainment establishments is increasing every day.

According to the Ministry of Health, the detriment of smoking hookah, definitely, is! Recent studies have shown that:

  1. An hourly session of hookah curves is equal to hundreds of cigarettes.
  2. 45 minutes of hookah session poisons the body carbon monoxide more than 1 pack of simple cigarettes at the same time. It should also be taken into account that the coal temperature in the hookah is 650 ° C, and the harmful smoke is able to penetrate even deeper into the respiratory tract.
  3. In the avid hookah smokers in the body there is an increased content of arsenic, lead, chromium, carboxygemoglobin.
  4. Hookah is able to provoke the development of the same pathologies as cigarettes, and even infertility.
  5. Smoking hookah in a large company leads to a high risk of transmitting diseases by air-drip, because with a hookah mouthpiece for a session, several people contact immediately, and when smoking the salivation increases.

Hurt from smoking waip

Many smokers to get rid of the destructive habits are moving to electronic cigarettes. However, waves smoke harmful, and not only because of the inhaled vapors capable of causeing diseases of the respiratory system, but also due to the composition of the mixture in which:

  1. Glycerin, which disrupts the work of blood vessels. Negative effect on blood circulation. It is a beneficial environment for the development of pathogenic microbes.
  2. Nicotine.
  3. Propylene glycol provokes allergic reactions: rash, swelling of the mucous membrane, etc.
  4. Fragrances reinforce the indulgence of nicotine.
  5. Metals, resins, carcinogens, combustion and oxidation products apply the greatest harm to smoking. They cause intoxication of the body and affect almost all systems and organs starting from respiratory tract and the circulatory system.

Harm to smoking marijuana

In some countries and US states, marijuana is appointed as medicinal preparation. However, such a step, doctors go only in cases where there is no other way out, and taking into account the fact that the harm from smoking grass is less than from the disease itself. In addition to the fact that marijuana is a drug, this weed has other disadvantages:

  • the strongest lesion of psychomotor and cognitive functions;
  • a strong negative effect on the central nervous system and the brain;
  • the risk of developing schizophrenia;
  • uncontrollable hunger;
  • asocial behavior;
  • depression and addictive;
  • decrease in immunity;
  • vision impairment;
  • angina, arrhythmia, hyper- or hypotension;
  • defeating the respiratory system with resins and combustion products.

Harm passive smoking

Even on those who are not a "hostage" cigarettes, tremendous harm smoking is passive, because up to 60% of poisoning substances from tobacco enter the air. Inhaling air-poisoned air, a person is exposed to a strongest negative impact:

  • carbon monoxide poisoning;
  • oxygen starvation;
  • nitric oxide poisoning;
  • aldehyde depression of the nervous system;
  • formaldehyde poisoning;
  • defeat the body as a whole with cyanid hydrogen;
  • the destruction of the cells of the brain due to inhalation of nitrosamine;
  • irritation of bronchial and nasopharynx by acrelain - element of burning tobacco;
  • the risk of oncology, as a result of the effects of carcinogens of tobacco smoke.

How to minimize harm from smoking?

You can stop the negative effect of smoking on the body by simply refusal from the harmful habit, but if a person is unable to quit smoking, then you can reduce the harm of smoking using several rules:

  • do not smoke on the go;
  • do not smoke in the cold;
  • do not smoke on an empty stomach;
  • smoking only when you really want;
  • spend more time in the fresh air;
  • fill
  • do sport;
  • do not smoke near non-smoking.

Myths about the dangers of smoking

Often, those who are zealously defended their rights to smoking, ready to "feed" the people of nonfires on the topic that the cigarette is not so deadly, and in general it has its fat pros. Let's try to honestly answer the question, is it harmful to smoke?

  1. Myth 1.. Nicotine contributes to relaxation. Not quite like this - the ritual himself relaxes, and not substances that are in tobacco smoke.
  2. Myth 2.. Nicotine is used by Marathon Runners, as doping, but at the same time no one clarifies that before the introduction of a ban on doping, many athletes died right on distances from loads to harmful influence Stimulants.
  3. Myth 3.. Nicotine stimulates blood flow and nervous system... while increasing the burden on the body, increasing the level of catecholamines and causing addictive.

To cigarettes. The reason for this is the fact that the body can produce this substance independently and in small quantities. If a person begins regularly, Nicotine also regularly enters the body in excess. So that there is no oversaturation, the development of this substance is terminated. When a person stops smoking, nicotine, adopted earlier, is processed. Within some time, the body for normal functioning requires a small dose of this substance. Since he can no longer work out independently, the brain there is a signal about the lack of nicotine, and the person has to go smoking.

Tobacco smoke and those substances that are in it, negatively act on the respiratory system. The mucous membrane of the bronchi, lungs and respiratory tract is exposed to strong irritation, which causes cough and becomes the cause of predisposition to respiratory diseases. In the process of smoking, all the tissues of respiratory organs are cut, and the process of inhalation and air exhalation is complicated. The main danger to the smoker is cancerous diseases: in cigarette smoke there is about fifty chemical compounds that promote development. cancer cells.

The substances contained in the tobacco smoke cause an increase in the acidity of the gastric juice, it becomes the cause of the stomach ulcers. Especially intense this process occurs when a person at the same time, eats or drinks. The carbon monoxide is also harmful, when it gets into the blood, and then in the brain it causes dizziness, motion of brain cells. As a result, man functions worse.

Negative effect of smoking on the body

Smoking negatively affects the cardiovascular system: nicotine contributes to the emission affecting the heart affects the pressure in the arteries. As a result, the body is experiencing an increased need for oxygen. Smoking causes blood thickening and blood cloves, and this, in turn, loads the heart. Smoking person is very vulnerable to stroke and paralysis, since carbon dioxide comes into its brain, and not oxygen. The formation of thromboms, increased blood debris contribute to damage to the brain.

During smoking, the reproductive system suffers, especially in women. Smoking women risk achieving menopause for several years faster than non-smoking. Dangerous is joint smoking and acceptance of oral contraceptives. At the same time, the risk of heart attacks and strokes increases at times. Smoking of a woman during pregnancy threatens a violation of the development of the fetus, miscarriages.

The negative impact on the dice has cadmium contained in tobacco smoke in small quantities. Over time, smokers develop osteoporosis, which is associated with a lack of calcium in the body. Cadmium is the cause of calcium deficiency, as a result of the bone of the person becomes fragile. Especially often osteoporosis develops in women, since smoking oppresses the work of estrogen responsible for passing in the bones of normal processes. The result is pain in the bones, frequent fractures.

The number of army smokers exceeded 1.3 billion people and continues to increase. And it is despite the fact that almost 5 million people die from smoking annually. Such damage, like a cigarette, does not cause humanity to any war or epidemic. But people stubbornly continue to pay millions of dollars for killing them.

The first cigarette does not bring pleasure to anyone. After smoking appear easy sensations: dizziness, nausea, cough. But if for some reason a person decided to continue smoking, then the body gets used to nicotine and other components of tobacco smoke. The first months smoking can cause lightweight euphoria, mobilize internal resources or vice versa, soothe. But over time, these sensations disappear. Nicotine, although it is by nature with its poison (toxin), is included in the metabolism. Simply put, the body gets used to the fact that this substance is constantly in the blood. When its concentration decreases, the nervous system gives a signal that it is time to replenish reserves. Then there is a desire to smoke another cigarette. Most often from the first cigarette to the formation of nicotine dependence or tobacco toxicization takes 1 year.

How does smoking affect the human body?

Tobacco smoke consists of 4000 components. The most famous nicotine and resin from them. But other components are no less dangerous: poisons, radioactive substances, heavy metals. You should not hope that a cigarette filter will protect you. Even the most modern of them capture only 20% of substances contained in smoke.

How harmful substances fall into the body?

When you are tightened, the temperature at the tip of the cigarette reaches 800 degrees. Under such conditions, dry tobacco distillation occurs. This means that inhaled air, passing through the layer of heated tobacco, carries with itself the volatile substances and the smallest solid particles. They with a flow of air penetrate the mouth, the trachea bronchi and fall into the lungs alveoli. Due to the fact that the tobacco smoke is an aerosol of small particles, they quickly reach the most remote areas of the respiratory system. Through the alveolo wall, the penetrated by vessels, harmful substances easily penetrate into the blood and spread throughout the body. So, after 8 seconds after the first tightening, the brain already feels the action of nicotine.

Components of tobacco smoke Their influence on the body Impact effects
Nicotine - One of the strongest drugs, toxic alkaloid causing addiction on a par with a heroin. This poison is a natural protection of plants from eating animals. Affects acetylcholine receptors, as a result of which adrenaline is allocated. This substance causes: acceleration of heartbeat, narrowing of vessels, rapid respiration, increase pressure, activating metabolic processes.
It has a stimulating effect on the nervous system: the concentration of attention and performance increases, short-term memory improves, the sense of anxiety disappears, the centers of pleasure in the brain are stimulated.
But after 20 minutes, the nicotine concentration in the blood begins to decline. This is accompanied by brain braking, oppression of mental processes.
The acetylcholine recipers of the smokers get used to the stimulation of nicotine. The absence of it in the blood causes unpleasant sensations.
The first reaction is the stimulation of the brain, an increase in the concentration of attention and the reaction rate, moderate euphoria. Then the excitation is replaced by braking: the inhibition of thinking, the weakness of skeletal muscles, trembling in their hands. In smokers, the cerebral cells are faster than other people. There is a theory that nicotine can cause schizophrenia.
From the cardiovascular system: heart attack, stroke, aortic aneurysm, arterial hypertension, arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease.
Digestive system: circulatory disorder leads to gastritis and ulcerative disease, the formation of stones in bile bubble.
Cancer tumors. Nicotine changes the structure of DNA cells and causes cancer.
Nicotine leads to the development of mental and physical dependence.
Tobacco Deletit consists of aromatic substances and resins. Contain substances that cause mutations in cells leading to the formation of malignant tumors.
The resins are condensed and deposited on the teeth, the mucous membrane of the mouth, the voice ligaments, the walls of the bronchi and in the lungs alveoli. They violate the work of the family epithelium responsible for cleansing the bronchi, alveolar bags damage.
Scoot particles make lungs susceptible to infectious diseases.
Resins oppress work immune system. It does not effectively destroy bacteria and malignant cells.
Cracks and yellowing of dental enamel.
Wispness of the voice, cough.
Bronchitis and emphysema. The likelihood of pneumonia and tuberculosis increases.
Malignant larynx tumors, esophagus, lungs.
Durger gas (carbon monoxide) - Product burning tobacco. It is 8% of tobacco smoke and 200 times more active than oxygen is absorbed by hemoglobin. In smokers, carbon black gas connects with blood, occupying the place of oxygen and causing oxygen starvation. From the lack of oxygen, the brain suffers the most.
Curmarket gas has a toxic effect on nervous cells and violates the passage of the nervous signal.
To provide organs with oxygen, the heart works in reinforced load. Gradually, it increases in volume and wears.
Impairment of memory, reduced intelligence, aggravation of mental diseases, headaches, reduced sensitivity.
Angina, arrhythmia. Myocardial infarction, cardiac asthma. Damage to the walls of the coronary arteries, providing the heart, leads to cardiac attacks.
Pneumonia.
Carcinogens: benzene, cadmium, aminobiphenyl, beryllium, arsenic, nickel, chrome. Penetrate the cell and damage the genetic material contained in the kernel. As a result, the risk of malignant cells increases, which give rise to cancer tumors.
Penetrated through the placenta, cause mutations from the fetus.
Cancer lips, tongue, larynx, esophagus, stomach, lungs.
Physical and mental anomalies in a child.
Hydrocyanic acid(cyanide hydrogen) poisonous substanceDisrupting the absorption of oxygen in the tissues. It worsens the supply of oxygen tissues, disturbing it from hemoglobin to the cell.
It has a toxic effect on the nervous system.
Together with ammonia, nitrogen dioxide and formaldehyde violates the work of the bronchi family epithelium, which is responsible for self-cleaning of the respiratory tract. This leads to accumulation in light tobacco tar.
Mental abilities are worse.
Enhances the risk of heart attack.
Emphysema of the lungs.
Arsenic- deadly poison. It has a toxic effect on the kidneys, digestive and nervous system. Harves the genetic cell material, causing mutations and the development of malignant tumors. Pain in the stomach, diarrhea or constipation.
Loss of strength and muscle weakness.
Cardiovascular failure.
Infertility of the central nervous system, deterioration of thinking and memory.
Cancer tumors.
Radioactive components: Lead-210, polonium-210, potassium-40, radium-226, thorium-228 and cesium-134. They are absorbed into the blood and spread through the body, becoming an internal source of radioactive radiation. Radioactive isotopes contribute to the cell mutations and the appearance of cancer tumors.
The first trimester of pregnancy cause abnormalities in the development of the fetus.
Provocate asthma.
Toxic effects on the kidneys. Can contribute to the development of toxic nephropathy.
Makes bones fragile, which leads to osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures.
Abortion.
Cancer tumors.
Free radicals Very active oxygen molecules devoid of one electron. Finding into the body, they take the electron in molecules, of which body cells consist, thereby damaging them and causing oxidative stress. Premature aging of the skin, other organs and tissues.
Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease.
Heart diseases, atherosclerosis, flubites, thrombosis.
Chronic diseases lungs.
Cancer tumors.
Nitrosomines Highly toxic nitrogen compounds that are formed from tobacco alkaloids. Change the structure of the DNA molecule and lead to an increase in cancer cells. Malignant tumors of the thyroid gland, esophagus and lungs.

The main danger is that most substances in tobacco are out of the body, and accumulate in it. Thus, the more cigarettes you smoke and the solid one smoker's experience is solid, the more harmful ingredients affect you. For example, if you smoke for more than 10 years, the probability of lung cancer and adenoma increases 5 times. Therefore, the sooner you give up this detrimental habit, the higher the chance to maintain health.

What is the harm of smoking?

Dehydration of the skin. The tobacco smoke contains a large number of free radicals. They damage molecules from which skin cells consist, which leads to premature aging. The spasm of the vessels, which is observed 30-90 minutes after smoking one cigarette, disrupts the skin and slows down the formation of collagen by 40%. Due to the deficiency of elastic fibers, the skin acquires a flabby, wrinkled look and a grayish tint.

The development of caries. The stream of hot air with resin particles damages the enamel of the teeth. It turns yellow and is covered with microcracks. Gradually, cracks increase, bacteria and acids penetrate them, destroying the deeper layers of the tooth and causing caries. This leads to the fact that 45% of smokers older than 65 years old do not have their teeth. Among the non-smoking this indicator is 2 times lower.

Inflammatory respiratory diseases. Tobacco smoke, saturated with caustic particles, irritates the mucous membrane of the mouth, larynx, trachea and bronchi causing her atrophy. It becomes fine and worse performs its protective features. Flare epithelium, which should output foreign particles and microorganisms, does not cope with its task. Lungs clogged, favorable conditions for breeding bacteria are created. Therefore, smokers often suffer bronchitis and pneumonia. So, 90% of people who have smoking experience more than 7 years suffer from the "bronchitis of a smokers".

Chronic lung emphysema. In small bronchops and alveoli lungs, tobacco delet is postponed. This substance leads to the destruction of cells. Small bronchioles fall down and when exhaling pressure in the lungs increases sharply. The walls of the alveoli are thinned and destroy, leading to the formation of cavities. Lung fabric ceases to be elastic and stretched, which leads to an increase in the amount of the chest. Gas exchange in the lungs is broken. They do not sufficiently enrich blood oxygen, the organism is experiencing oxygen starvation. According to statistics, 9 out of 10 people with emphysema are smokers. The disease is developing for 10-15 years, if they smoke cigarette per day.

Ulcery disease of the stomach and the 12thist. From smoking decreases the production of saliva, which partially neutralizes the action of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Tobacco smoke causes the release of digestive juices in the stomach and thin intestinesEven if there are no food. Active substances corrode the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, leading to the appearance of erosions. These small damage are not healing, but turn into ulcers due to the deterioration of blood supply and reduction of immunity. Therefore, the ulcer of the stomach in smokers meets 2 times more often than their peers.

Poisoning of the nervous system. Nicotine is a poison that has a toxic effect on the nervous system. This toxin strikes the nervous system: the brain and cells of intermediate nervous components that control the operation of the internal organs. Nicotine violates the passage of nerve impulses from the brain to the organs and muscles. This leads to a decrease in all kinds of sensitivity. Smokers are not so brightly feeling taste and aroma, they have a touch of touch, often observed chills. Disruption of nervous regulation leads to disorder of digestion: constipation and painful intestinal spasms.

Stroke.In smokers, the risk of ischemic stroke (associated with circulatory impairment) increases 2 times. This is the result of a sharp narrowing of the vessels of the brain or blockage of one of them with a clock of blood. Weakness of vessels and short-term increase in pressure during smoking cause a breakdown of a vessel accompanied by hemorrhage into the brain - hemorrhagic stroke. In smoking people, he happens 4 times more often than their peers.

Cancer tumors. Carcinogenic components of tobacco smoke penetrate the blood and spread through the body. They damage DNA cells. Such cells with a changed genetic material become the basis of the cancer. The depression of immunity leads to the fact that in the body there is not enough killer cells. Their task is to recognize and destroy mutating cells. In smokers, this cancer protection mechanism is broken, and they often become victims of cancer. So 90% of cases of lung cancer are caused by smoking. Cancer often affects other organs: lips, larynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, kidneys, prostate, direct intestine, pancreas and thyroid glands.

Osteoporosis. Tobacco toxins stimulate the production of two proteins that are responsible for leaching calcium from bones. These substances activate osteoclast cells that are responsible for the destruction of the old bone tissue. Therefore, smokers bone are destroyed faster than restored.

Violations of vessels. Under the influence of tobacco combustion products, the walls of the vessels become dense, insufficiently elastic, brittle and covered by cracks. In the blood, the content of cholesterol is increasing, which is deposited on the walls in the form of atherosclerotic plaques. They narrow the clearance of the vessel. The likelihood of the formation of thrombus and inflammation of the walls of the veins around it is increasing. The tomb of the thrombus can cause sudden death. The narrowing of coronary vessels providing a heart robot provokes the development of ischemic heart and heart attack disease.

Supporting endarterite. At smokers, blood flow in the limbs is reduced by 35-40%. The reason lies in the chronic spa of the vessels and sediments on the walls of the vessels of atherosclerotic plaques. In addition, violation of nerve impulses leads to a decrease in sensitivity. The disease begins with rapid fatigue, intermittent chromotype. Later, devoid of blood supply and innervation of fabrics die away, and Gangrena begins.

Slow healing wounds. The deterioration of blood circulation and the decrease in metabolism leads to the fact that skin cells are not actively share. As a result, wound healing is slower. It is noted that smoking people are 50% more than the width of the scar formed at the place of operational seams.

Worsening and tearcaused by annoying effects of tobacco smoke and atrophy spectator nerve. With increased sensitivity in smoking people, there may be edema edema. The narrowing of the vessels of the eyeball disrupts the functions of the retina leads to the death of its cells, which negatively affects the visual sharpness.

Interpretation problems. Premature ejaculation, reduced potency, deterioration in sperm quality - these problems are associated with a violation of the blood supply to the genitals. Due to the narrowing of the vessels and damage to the arteries, blood inflows worsens to a gender member, which reduces the quality of the erection. Sperm smokers are not moving enough and less capable of fertilization, since they were exposed to nicotine and other substances. If the fusion of the egg and damaged by nicotine sperm still happened, then the fruit is worse attached to the wall of the uterus.

What are the social and psychological reasons for smoking?

Thanks to the films, the image of a brutal man or a fatal woman is inextricably linked with smoking. In adolescence and youthful age, young people seek to make the same impression. They are trying to increase their social status with this "attribute of adulthood." In addition, young people do not convince data on long-term health consequences. Therefore, the army of smokers basically replenishes people until 21 years.

Sociologists conducted a study to identify social and psychological reasons Smoking. Young people asked "Why did you start smoking?". Opinions were divided in about this way.

Curiosity 40%. In the head of most non-smokers, a thought occurs periodically: "What a smoking person gets pleasure, what sensations do he have?"
The desire to join the company is 20%. A person is headed by fear of becoming a rogue in a smoking company. This also applies groups of adolescents, and adult people who came to the new team. It seems that the most important questions are solved in the smoking room. And who does not smoke, he remains overboard public life.
Pressure pressure - 8%. Smoking peers often campaign "try", ridiculed those who do not smoke.
Stress removal - 6%. The life of teenagers is full of stress, internal conflicts and quarrels with others. Their nervous system is not yet stable and young people resort to smoking to relax.

Psychologists who are engaged in the study of nicotine addiction, identify a number of socio-psychological reasons.

  1. Self-affirmation in the eyes of peers, the desire to become cooler.
  2. The desire to be adults. Prove your "adultery" to yourself and others.
  3. Additional pleasure. Start smoking in a comfortable situation: on vacation in a circle of friends, using alcoholic beverages.
  4. Nothing to take yourself. Smoking helps to pass the time, replaces computer games.
  5. Perform an impression and meet expectations. To create an image of a cool guy to young people have to smoke.
  6. For Freud, smoking is the consequence of "oral fixation". Until a year, all pleasant moments are associated with sucking. If for some reason to deprive his child, then the whole life remains psychological trauma and oral fixation occurs. An adult man who suffered such a situation continues to suck the handle, nibble nails or smoking.
  7. The pleasure of the process, the game with a cigarette, the ability to purchase beautiful accessories: ashtray, lighters, to produce smoke rings.
  8. Increased concentration and efficiency. The first 15-20 minutes after the burned cigarette brain works more productively. Some use this effect to improve performance.
  9. Conditioned reflex. Some break at work, drinking alcohol, coffee can be associated with smoking. A person stretches for a cigarette only in these situations.
  10. Fear to gain weight. Smoking activates metabolism. Therefore, people who try to drop overweight at all costs are resorted, including smoking.
  11. Insufficient awareness of the dangers of smoking. So most young women do not know how dangerous smoking for future offspring.
  12. Heredity. There is a theory that if the mother smoked during pregnancy, then her child, matured, will be inclined to smoking, as the lack of nicotine is constantly experiencing.

Smoking Prohibition Law

02/23/2013 was adopted the federal law N 15-FZ "On the protection of the health of citizens from the impact of the surrounding tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco consumption." He is called:
  • protect non-smoking citizens from the consequences of passive smoking;
  • protecting young people from the temptation to replenish the rows of smokers;
  • to help get rid of the harmful habit, those who are already smoking.
This law successfully fulfills its mission. Current consumption has already decreased by 8%. Experts argue that the document will allow to save 200 thousand lives per year. And this, you see, an essential figure.

A lot of effective psychological techniques have been developed to help smoking.

  1. Methods of Vladimir Zhdanova

    The technique is known as "four stinking breaths". Her goal is to cause persistent disgust for smoking. To do this, you need to try tobacco smoke to taste, chew it.

    When you want to smoke, do not breathe smoke into the lungs, but hold it in your mouth. Throw your head, close your nose, and intensely chew smoke with a closed mouth. After 20 seconds, the oppusory will appear in the mouth. Continue to chew for another 10 seconds, and then push the smoke into the lungs. There will be an unpleasant feeling and calling for cough - it earned receptors who are designed to protect you from tobacco smoke. To secure the result, take another 2 tightening "fired" smoke.

    Fourth inhale - tighten on the full lungs. After that, roll out smoke, straining the muscles of the abdominal press. After that, write down the date and time on the package when you made 4 stinking breaths. After that, it is impossible to smoke. If the desire to delay will become insurmountable, then repeat the use of smoke chewing.

    Strengthen motivation help the video track of Professor Zhdanov. They affect two directions: clearly demonstrate the detriment of smoking and create the necessary psychological attitude.

  2. Allen Carr "Easy way to quit smoking"

    The technique was developed over 30 years ago. Statistics argue that every year 1 million people throws smoking thanks to her. The purpose of the method is to help a person quit smoking without tension of the will, drugs or other auxiliary means.

    The essence of the technique is set out in the book of the same name. You can briefly describe this method by 2 points.

    1. Take a solid conscious decision that you will never smoke again.
    2. Rejoice your new life and do not fall into depression.
    The book is very argued shows why it is worth abandoning smoking, and what advantages you get, making a choice in favor of a healthy lifestyle. It helps to get rid of doubts and temptations to smoke the "last cigarette".
  3. Coding from smoking

    This method is based on a hypnotic suggestion and bio-electric impact on the subconscious. Coding helps to work out conditioned reflexaimed against smoking.

    The purpose of the coding is to inspire a person, aversion to smoking. Coding is carried out psychologists and psychotherapists. In some cases, the priests and folk healers own this method.

    You can only encode a person who has already decided to quit smoking. In the event that he came to follow the persuasion of relatives, the effect of coding will be short-term. Another condition of successful coding is the qualifications of a specialist.

    Strengthen the effect on the psyche helps hypnosis and acupuncture. Some successfully use the placebo effect. The patient inspires that after he accepted a mega-efficient drug, he would never have a wish to smoke. And although under the guise of medication in the capsule, there may be ordinary sugar, but the idea that the tobacco is no longer firmly rooted in consciousness.

  4. Neurolynguistic programming. Technique Vesch.

    This technique is based on reprogramming the subconscious. Her goal is to create a bright image of how you want to become. It suits almost all people and helps at the same time get rid of different types of addiction. NLP use psychologists, but you can get rid of bad habits and independently.

    • What benefits bring me smoking?
    Stage 2. Determine the motive of refusal of smoking.
    • What do I get, abandoning smoking?
    • What benefits will I bring me if I throw smoking?

You can accompany them with a waving hands or by clicking your fingers. A positive image should become more brighter in your consciousness, and negatively boldly, until it disappears completely.

  5. Acupuncture

    This method of combating smoking was developed more than 40 years ago by Chinese Neurosurgeon H.L. Vienna. It is based on the fact that smoking is a conditional reflex - the path that passes the nervous impulse in the brain. When the nervous excitement once again passes through this path, a desire arises to smoke.

    The purpose of the needleflexotherapy is to eradicate this reflex. Affecting reflex points on own sink Or wrist, a specialist interrupts the passage of pulses along the reflex path.

    Conduct sessions should an experienced reflexotherapist. The duration of sessions is 20-80 minutes. To obtain a strong result, in one enough 2 sessions, and the other requires 10-20.

Remember that the only condition that will allow you to quit smoking times and forever is your solid and conscious desire to get rid of this bad habit. If you firmly decided to get rid of dependence, then you will be waiting for success!

Coding from smoking


Every day on the street, we are found at least one smoking person. Each of us smoke at least one or relative. And this is despite the fact that on Earth it is unlikely to find a person who would not know about the harm of smoking cigarettes. But the fact is that people know only that the cigarette smoke is harmful to health, and the abstract knowledge is very easy to ignore. It is much more difficult to not pay attention to concrete facts. It was for this that we wrote this article in which in detail and without unnecessary emotionality spoke about the dangers of smoking for the human body.

Where does the smoking person come from?

You can start smoking for various reasons. Someone begins to inhale the tobacco smoke for the company, someone - to seem older, someone from boredom. The result is one: a person becomes addicted and becomes smoking. The fact is that any tobacco products (ordinary cigarettes, hookahs, Syus, Veip, etc.) contain nicotine, and this is a very fast drug. Therefore, the need for a new dose occurs after a short period of time. And the longer you smoke, the more this need.

To feel "normal", the person needs more and more nicotine, which, to all of the time, is a strong poison. The winged expression about a drop that kills a horse, not far from truth - in agriculture, Tobacco plant is still used as an excellent insecticide. If tobacco has such a "specific" application, what is then contained in ordinary cigarettes?

The composition of the smoke of ordinary cigarettes

First of all, nicotine is included in cigarette smoke. This substance is often referred to neurotoxins, due to the fact that it greatly affects the nervous system, destroying it. The harm of cigarettes is directed both on the central and peripheral nervous system. The destructive effects are subject to such major brain functions as memory and analytical abilities.

But smoking caused by smoking is due not only to nicotine, but also by other substances that in cigarette smoke contains more than 7000. At the same time, some of them have inorganic origins (for example, propylene glycol, flavors, preservatives, medical preparations, dyes, sulfur, saltiters and Others). Of course, they are not added to evil intent to strengthen the harm of cigarettes, no. This is done to simplify the technological process, faster binding nicotine and to improve the comfort of the smoking process itself.

We will not be able to tell us about all the chemical compounds contained in the smoke of ordinary cigarettes, so we will stop on the main.

  • Resin. This term is called many different substances having a brown and sticky consistency. It is the resin that settles on the pulmonary fabric, the teeth turn yellow from her, the skin on the fingers. The resin contains a benzopyrene - a substance causing cancer (carcinogen).
  • Oxide (monoxide) carbon. Most of us this substance, mortal in large doses, is known as the "carbon monoxide". The consequences of its impact on the body consist in the fact that carbon monoxide, penetrating into the blood, prevents the transfer of oxygen. Erythrocytes containing gemoglobin protein exist to transport this vital gas. But carbon monoxide is associated with hemoglobin, as a result of which the body feels the lack of oxygen. Hence the harm of smoking for the human body - at moments of physical or mental load, when one organ requires more oxygen, others remain without it.
  • Hydrogen cyanide. Otherwise, this substance is called syntic acid. It essentially violates the work of the lungs. Our body can self-clean. For example, in the lungs there are cilia that displaces foreign substances. The harm of the hydrogen cyanide contained in cigarettes is violated the self-cleaning process, as a result of which numerous substances accumulate inside the lungs, negatively affecting human health.
  • Oxidizing chemicals. A whole group of substances that are very quickly included in chemical reactions. They easily react with cholesterol, which leads to the formation of so-called cholesterol plaques in the vessels. Thus, the harm caused by smoking is to increase the risk of stroke, heart disease and vessels.
  • Metals. Cigarette smoke contains a number of metals (in particular, cadmium, lead and arsenic), the hit of which will definitely not add to the body of health.
  • Radioactive connections. In the most ordinary cigarettes, these radioactive compounds are contained - for example, radiotoxic and carcinogenic polonium-210.

Someone already this list will be enough to realize how smoking is harmful to the human body, and get rid of nicotine addiction. But, according to our experience, this is often not enough. Most of the employees of the center of Allen Carr in the past smoked, so we understand what we are talking about. Much more effective for making a decision will find out what kind of harm is making smoking the human body.

Harm cigarettes for the human body in detail

It may seem that cigarettes are harmful only to the respiratory authorities, but it is not. Smoking is harmful to the whole organism and men, and women. It harms to each organ, causing many diseases both directly and indirectly. For convenience, we have distributed diseases into groups.

What bodies harm from cigarettes first? Of course, those who meet the poisonous smoke first. The smokers darkens the enamel of the teeth, immediately appears the specific smell of the mouth, which is especially unpleasant for women. That is why cigarette manufacturers offer ladies flavored series instead of normal. But this is only low smoking harm. The human body is much more detrimental effect.

So, smokers are often encountered with gum disease. Possible loss of taste. But the most dangerous - cancer. Smoking has cancer lips, language, esophagus and voice ligaments. Due to the harm caused by cigarettes, there are more than 93% of the oropharingeal species of cancer. To reduce the risks associated with this disease, it is enough to quit smoking.

If you choose from the entire body of a person one body, to which smoking brings the greatest harm, then it will be lungs. Cough, frequent colds And wheezing always accompany each smoking, but all this brings only minor inconvenience, with which it is easy to put up. It is much more important to understand what diseases may arise from the fact that cigarettes are constantly harmful to the body.

These are pneumonia, emphysema, lung cancer and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The latter is a severe illness, in which a person is experiencing difficulties with breathing, his shortness of breath appears during exercise and permanent cough with a spree. By the way, the most obvious harm of cigarettes, the so-called smokers cough, is the first sign of COPD.

All these diseases are equally dangerous for men, and for women. They cause numerous fatal outcomes. According to statistics, 84% of deaths from lung cancer and 83% of lethal exodes from COPD comes to the fraction of smokers.

The main influence of nicotine on the male and female organism is to suppress the cognitive functioning of the brain. It only seems that cigarettes help concentrate. On the contrary, they make serious harm. But you also need to know that smoking provokes the emergence of strokes. The risk of this serious illness in smokers is 2 times higher than in non-smoking.

This happens for two reasons: smoking cigarettes leads to a narrowing of vessels, and substances contained in cigarette smoke provoke the development of the aneurysm of the brain. So called anomalous bulge in weak blood vessels. Its gap leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage, which can cause severe brain damage, up to death. The risk of aneurysm is the same for both men, and for women.

But there are good news. Whatever harm to the brain arose from smoking cigarettes, its consequences are reversible. In just 2 years after deliverance, the risk of a stroke will decrease by 2 times, and in 5 years it will become exactly the same as in non-smoking people.

The harm of smoking for the human body in this case is that the carbon monoxide provokes increased erythrocyte production (as we wrote above). This, in turn, leads to the formation of blood clots, clutching capillaries and even vessels, as well as to the fact that each body body is missing oxygen. At the same time, nicotine provokes the narrowing of the vessels and elevated heartbeat. As a result, the combination of these two actions increases pressure, the risk of strokes and heart attacks increases.

It would seem, how harm from cigarettes can be for the heart, which is not directly exposed to smoke? Meanwhile, it is and is due to the fact that the heart is missing oxygen. As a result of smoking, the most common cigarettes increase the risk of ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, harmful carbon monoxide and nicotine provoke an additional load on the heart, having barely wearing it.

Simply put, cigarettes are harmful, diving in smokers the risk of a heart attack. However, you should not be afraid. Changes are quite reversible: if you quit smoking, then in just a year the risk will decrease to the usual level.

The harm of cigarettes extends to the entire human body, including the stomach, increasing the risk of cancer and ulcers. Also, cigarettes affect the esophagus sphincter, relaxing it. This leads to a phenomenon equally unpleasant for both men and women. It is called reflux and is that gastric juice It falls into the throat, causing irritation.

Also, cigarettes are harm to the kidneys, increasing the risk of cancer. According to medical research, people who smoke 10 cigarettes per day, kidney cancer develops 1.5 times more often than non-smoking. People who smoke 20 and more cigarettes per day are applied to themselves even more harm - they risk 2 times more.

Not everyone knows that the skin is the largest organ of the human body, and the cigarettes also cause strong harm. As a result of smoking, the skin is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, which makes it faster and becomes yellowish-gray. For women, it will also be interesting to find out which harm cigarette is applied by beauty.

First, the smoking person looks 10-20 years older. Secondly, wrinkles appear 3 times faster. Third, according to the latest research, smoking provokes cellulite.

However, with all that harm, which leather from cigarettes, it is pretty quickly restored. We have repeatedly seen it with our own eyes on the example of people who quit smoking after the course in the center of Allen Carra. In just a few months, they looked much better than when smoked.

How to quit smoking at home?

The harm of ordinary cigarettes applies to the bone, more precisely on the periosteum. It suffers mainly due to the lack of oxygen. As a result, the bones become weak and fragile, the risk of fractures increases.

To fully tell about exactly what kind of damage cigarettes are applied by the reproductive system of a person, it is necessary to divide the information for men and for women.

  • Harm cigarettes for men. We have already mentioned that smoking leads to a narrowing of vessels, which directly affects potency. After all, the erection arises due to the tide of the blood to the sexual member, and if the work of the vessels is broken, the potency is reduced. But this harm of smoking, rendered to the human body, is not limited. For each man, it is also important to know that smoking increases the risk of egg cancer and worsens the quality of sperm, that is, the possibility of having children is reduced.
  • Harm cigarettes for women. First of all, the ability to conceive a child is reduced. According to a number of medical research, smoking women to conceive more time than non-smoking. Also, the harm caused by smoking is a female body leads to the development of cervical cancer and makes it difficult to treat a human papilloma virus. If you smoke during pregnancy, then the risk of miscarriage, premature birth and even still-triggering is increasing. Also smoking women it is important to know that the harm of cigarettes leads to an increase in 25% of the risk of SVDS (sudden childhood syndrome).

List of diseases arising due to smoking

  • Ischemic heart disease, heart attack, peripheral vessel diseases (damaged blood vessels) and cerebrovascular diseases (damaged arteries that supply the brain with blood).
  • Cancer and ulcer stomach, reflux.
  • Kidney cancer.
  • Stroke, the aneurysm of the brain.
  • Pneumonia, emphysema, lung cancer, COPD.
  • Cancer throat, language, lips, voice ligaments.
  • Impotence, egg cancer, cervical cancer, infertility.

Note that this is not a complete list of all possible diseasesTo which harm caused by cigarettes. Diseases are much more. But the worst thing is not that people in their own accord are etched their body. They harm and others.

Causes of the risk of passive smoking

Does smoking harm the human body located next to smoking? Of course, it has exactly the same as the organism of the smoking itself. In exhaled smoke, most of the harmful substances breathed during smoking are about 4,000, and among them there are those that increase the risk of cancer.

Some researchers even suggest that passive smoking can affect the human body (that is, it is harmful) is stronger than active. They argue that the organism of smoking to some extent adapts to the constant influence of tobacco smoke and resists him. The non-smoking person, being close to smoking, is exposed to greater danger. Such conclusions are very controversial, but they do not cancel the fact that passive smoking is harmful to the human body.

How to quit smoking?

We wrote this big article with a detailed listing of what harm makes smoking the human body at all in order to scare. We ourselves smoked, and therefore I understand that it would not work out horrows to get a man. If some girls can still get rid of dependence in this way, then for men this method is categorically not applicable. They are not afraid of anything.

We told you all this only with one goal - so that you owe full information about the dangers of cigarettes. Now that you know almost all about the composition of cigarette smoke and all those diseases that he causes, you can reasonably and logically make a decision to quit smoking.

How will you do it - another question. There are many options, we have already written about many of them, so you don't need to look for anything - all the information is already on our website. The main thing is that you have taken an important decision for yourself. Knee smoking and forget about the dangers that cigarettes are applied!
