What are the disadvantages of girls smoking?

Everyone is calling for a ban on smoking, but it is found that the number of smokers is increasing, and the age of smokers is also decreasing. Many primary school students smoke and have an ignorant love for smoking. Some of these people are girls. They understand the harm of smoking, but they do not pay attention to the harm to the body. Therefore, they blindly accept the influence of smoking, which is harmful to physical development and mental health. So what are the disadvantages of girls smoking?

The disadvantages of girls smoking are:

1. Can cause infertility

Smoking can reduce the fertilization ability of eggs and increase the possibility of infertility by 2.7 times. If the husband is also a smoker, the situation will be even worse. Because smoking can reduce the amount of sperm and reduce its activity, statistics show that the possibility of infertility of smoking couples is 5.3 times higher than that of non-smoking couples.

2. Causes irregular menstruation

Nicotine in tobacco can reduce the secretion of female sex hormones, leading to menstrual disorders. Women who smoke reach menopause earlier and experience menopausal syndrome earlier. According to a survey of 1,367 women aged 18 to 44 in California, 25% of smoking women experienced menstrual disorders, while only 18.6% of non-smoking women did so.

Women who smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day are twice as likely to experience menstrual irregularities as non-smoking women. Recent studies have also confirmed that smoking is one of the risk factors for breast cancer in women.

3. Smoking during pregnancy can cause miscarriage

Women who smoke are 10 times more likely to experience miscarriage during pregnancy than non-smoking women, and their fetuses weigh an average of 230 grams less.

The mortality rate of babies born to mothers who smoke is also higher. For mothers who smoke less than one pack a day, the mortality rate and risk of babies born to mothers who smoke more than one pack a day is 20%, while for mothers who smoke more than one pack a day, it is 35%. In addition, the incidence of congenital heart disease in babies born to mothers who smoke is doubled.

4. Smoking affects children’s intelligence and development

Pregnant women's smoking has adverse effects on the intelligence and physical development of their children. Before school age, children will have some psychological and physiological dysfunction. After entering school, their reading and calculation abilities are worse than those of children of non-smoking women, and their height is also shorter than that of children of non-smoking women.

5. Impact on beauty

The skin of women who smoke appears older, more wrinkled, and grayer than that of women who do not smoke. In particular, the wrinkles around the corners of the eyes, upper and lower lips, and the corners of the mouth increase significantly.

What are the disadvantages of girls smoking? It is extremely bad for girls to smoke. Even if they produce female cigarettes, the harmful ingredients in the cigarettes will affect their health. Therefore, girls should take care of their bodies, do not trust other people's provocations or confusion, do not have a good impression of cigarettes, etc. After exposure, they should control themselves in time and should not continue to smoke, otherwise it is easy to cause a variety of serious hazards, which will affect women's health throughout their lives.
