Urgent! Seriously harmful to men's health: cigarettes

With the implementation of the smoking ban in China, people are once again re-examining the harm that smoking causes to our bodies. What are the harms of smoking? Experts believe that smoking not only causes great damage to our lungs, but also affects men's sexual function and memory. The latest research results of British scholars show that smoking accelerates memory loss. People who still have the habit of smoking in middle age will have obvious memory impairment.

Richards said the relationship between smoking and brain function is complex and needs further study. "From the quantitative data we have, smoking does lead to changes in blood supply to the brain," Richards added. Chemicals in cigarette smoke can also directly damage the brain. He said this is another reason to quit smoking. "If you can't quit completely, try to smoke less." Richards and his colleagues collected data on 5,362 "smokers" who were all born in 1946.

The researchers measured the mental state of the subjects through a series of carefully designed tests, one of which was a memory test specifically for memory. Each word was displayed for two seconds. After 15 words were displayed, the researchers asked the subjects to write down as many words as possible from memory. Another speed and concentration test required the subjects to find all the specified words in the specified material within one minute. The results showed that smokers in their forties and fifties had a significant decline in memory. The researchers also found that people who quit smoking before the age of 53 did not show a significant decline in memory.

So, does smoking have a big impact on sperm? Almost every man in life smokes or has a history of smoking. Studies have shown that long-term smoking not only harms the lungs, but also easily leads to a loss of interest in sexual life, weak penis erection, and even a decrease in sperm count and deformity, leading to male infertility. The longer you smoke and the more you smoke, the greater the harm.

Experts from Shanxi Infertility Hospital said: Nicotine in cigarettes is a mutagenic substance in sperm, which can affect the maturation and proliferation of reproductive cells. Studies have found that in people who smoke heavily and smoke cigarettes without filters, their lymphocytes are severely damaged. The rate of chromosome abnormalities in heavy smokers is significantly increased, and the sister chromatid exchange in their peripheral blood lymphocytes is also higher than that of non-smokers. So, does smoking have a big impact on sperm?

Experts from Shanxi Fertility Hospital said that sperm is delicate and can be easily hurt. Therefore, men who have not had children should develop good living habits. Good sperm not only improves the pregnancy rate, but is also a prerequisite for eugenics. Developing habits such as not smoking and drinking, not being picky about food, not having excessive sex, not taking baths with too hot water, not taking drugs at will, not being depressed, and avoiding contact with radioactive items such as electrical appliances and electronic products can help protect sperm.

We all know the harms of smoking. Smoking not only affects our health, but also affects other people. Let's join the anti-smoking team!
