What are the dangers of smoking for boys?

Smoking is harmful to health. Even the cigarette manufacturers themselves know this objective fact and put this warning on every cigarette box. But even so, smokers still enjoy it. The main reason is that the harm of smoking is not presented to everyone in a visual way. So it is necessary to understand what harm smoking does to people?

The gradual changes in the human body after smoking

1. Lung damage

Smoking can damage the lungs, and I believe most people know this, because after smoking, smoke tar and medium-temperature coal tar will settle in the lungs, damaging lung health. In addition, smoking will continue to cause shortness of breath. It can be seen that people who smoke in daily life have poor physical fitness and will have symptoms of shortness of breath after a little exercise. When this group enters the elderly stage, they are more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary emphysema than others, and relevant data show that smokers have a higher chance of lung cancer than non-smokers.

2. Dental Disease

The most direct impact of smoking is on the oral cavity, which can cause yellow teeth. The tar in the smoke itself can also cause some dental diseases and even oral cancer. Most smokers have varying degrees of bad breath, and sometimes they cough with green phlegm. According to relevant data, among couples, nearly 20% of them break up because of smoking.

3. Vascular sclerosis

Compared with non-smokers, smokers are more likely to suffer from vascular sclerosis and have a higher mortality rate. From the perspective of the cleanliness of their blood vessels, non-smokers have healthier blood vessels and are less likely to suffer from vascular sclerosis.

4. Decreased male sperm count

Smoking will affect the quality and quantity of male friends' sperm. Tests have shown that the sperm concentration of men who smoke is significantly lower than that of non-smokers. This is because cigarettes contain some toxins, which will affect the activity of male sperm and the concentration of sperm, and will continue to damage the plant cells of male sperm to a certain extent. Under the premise of affecting male fertility, even if pregnancy occurs, it will affect the health of the baby.

5. Gastric ulcer

A more obvious harmful substance in tobacco is tar, and this substance will weaken the specificity of the stomach, so it is easy to be unable to resist Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, smokers are more likely to get gastric ulcers than non-smokers.

6. Rough skin

Smokers are prone to skin problems, such as acne and acne on the face, because the blood circulation rate will be affected after smoking, and when the blood circulation rate slows down, the chance of skin infection will increase, and once smokers have skin problems, it is more difficult to repair them.

How to quit smoking

1. Eliminate anxiety: Is an anxious work situation the main reason for you to smoke? If so, remove all smoking supplies around you, change the office environment and work procedures. Put some sugar-free chewing gum, fresh fruits, fruit juice and pure water in the workplace, take a few short breaks, and exercise outdoors for more than ten minutes.

2. Weight problem: After quitting smoking, weight will usually continue to increase, generally by 5-8 pounds. Smokers will reduce the basic rate of basal metabolism after quitting smoking, and will eat more food to replace smoking, so smokers will gain a few kilograms in the short term after quitting smoking, but they can increase the weight by increasing the intensity of exercise, because increasing the intensity of exercise can accelerate basal metabolism. It is best to eat snacks without fat. In addition, drink plenty of water to keep your stomach full.

3. Improve the concept of quitting smoking and drinking: Clearly set the goal of changing the office environment and old habits related to smoking, and those who quit smoking and drinking will actively think of their confidence in not smoking. It is necessary to have this concept that after a few days of quitting smoking and drinking, the taste buds and sense of smell will get better.

4. Find a substitute: One of the key tasks after quitting smoking is to find a substitute for smoking when you are tempted: play some mobile games to keep your hands busy, make a smell in your mouth that doesn't want to smoke by brushing your teeth, or divert your attention through exciting conversations. If you like to smoke a cigarette after drinking freshly ground coffee every morning, then you should drink tea instead of drinking more coffee every morning.

5. Betting: Some former smokers have good experience in quitting smoking and drinking by betting. One of the practical effects is to publicize their quitting and win the support of friends and colleagues.
