cigarettes are a bad hobby for human beings. When we light a cigarette, with the change of tobacco combustion temperature, more than 4000 substances can be produced, many of which are harmful to human body. At present, there are more than 40 carcinogenic substances identified only. Let’s follow and learn about it!
Tar, carbon monoxide, nicotine, cyanide and aromatic hydrocarbons in tobacco are the main carcinogens, among which there are three most harmful substances: tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide. These three things are the culprit of many smokers’ early death. The first harmful substance carbon monoxide. Tobacco smoke may be due to carbon monoxide. After entering the human body, this substance can reduce the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen to the whole body, resulting in hypoxia and damage to the brain, heart and lung. The accumulation of atherosclerosis is one of the causes of many heart diseases. Due to the role of carbon monoxide, the heart has to & ldquo; Play with your life & rdquo; The work causes coronary artery intimal injury, coronary heart disease, and abnormal intravascular environment. Increasing platelet aggregation is the increase of blood viscosity and the formation of thrombosis. Therefore, people who smoke a lot are much more likely to die of heart attack than non-smokers. When carbon monoxide reaches the lungs, it has a toxicity similar to gas poisoning. Once it enters the blood, it will quickly & ldquo; Plunder & rdquo; And squeeze out the oxygen & ldquo; Force & rdquo; The combination with hemoglobin causes the slowdown of systemic blood circulation, which directly leads to the shortage of blood oxygen supply.
nicotine is a highly toxic substance, the second in Cigarettes & ldquo; Killer & rdquo;. Each cigarette contains about 1.5g. If inhaled 40 to 60 mg in a short time, it can cause death. Nicotine is not only toxic, but also absorbed by the lungs. It mainly acts on the nervous system. When it reaches a certain concentration in the blood, it can produce the desire to smoke and make people addicted. It stimulates the heart, brain and lungs, constricts blood vessels, increases blood pressure, accelerates heartbeat, arrhythmia and induces heart disease. It can also destroy the normal activities of gastrointestinal tract, cause ulcer and make the ulcer not heal for a long time.
Most smokers like to swallow a certain amount of smoke, which increases the risk index of cancer in the digestive tract (especially the esophagus and pharynx). Nicotine also inhibits male sex hormone secretion, kills sperm and prevents sperm from binding to eggs & ldquo; Great moves & rdquo;, Lead to male impotence, women’s chances of pregnancy are greatly reduced. The physiological impact on women is more serious, except that it will lead to irregular menstruation, early menopause, early osteoporosis, and increase the probability of heart attack and lower extremity venous thrombosis. Pregnant women who smoke 15 to 20 cigarettes a day are twice as likely to have a miscarriage as non-smoking women, and are more likely to give birth to premature infants or physically weak infants. The mortality rate of infants born to smoking women is about 30% higher than that born to non-smoking women.
nicotine will adversely affect the absorption and effect of drugs with antipyretic, analgesic, antiasthmatic, anti angina, anti acid and contraceptive effects. Number three in Cigarettes & ldquo; Killer & rdquo; Tar is a mixture of several substances that condenses into a viscous substance in the lungs. There is a layer of cilia on the surface of the human respiratory tract. Under normal circumstances, continuous exercise from bottom to top will sweep the particles in the lung into the sputum or mucus and discharge them. In addition to causing cancer, the chemical tar in tobacco smoke will stick to the cilia surface like glue. The impact on its normal swing is the weakening of the function of dusting harmful substances. In addition, due to long-term carbon monoxide The destruction of nicotine can form chronic inflammatory syndrome of mouth, throat, trachea, bronchus and lung, which will develop into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and canceration in a long time.
smoke (especially the tar contained in it) is a carcinogen, that is, it can cause canceration of the tissues it contacts. Therefore, cancer may occur in any part of the smoker’s respiratory tract (including oral cavity and throat). After entering the blood circulation, substances such as phenylpropyl pyrene, cyanide, arsenic, mercury, cadmium and nickel contained in cigarettes must be filtered by the kidney and finally excluded from the body through urine, which also destroys the normal operation of adrenal secretion, platelets and bladder cells. The damage of these harmful substances to the skin is just like exposure to the sun at noon in midsummer without any protection. It will lead to skin protein denaturation and elastic fiber thickening or breaking, and the reduction of oxygen supply will lead to dry skin and aggravate the appearance of wrinkles. It will also reduce the concentration of oxidants in the blood, promote the low concentration of vitamin E and B-carotene, deform the macula, cause the contraction of retinal microvessels, and cause poor retinal blood flow, which aggravates the risk of macular deformation and may lead to blindness.
the World Health Organization has classified tobacco dependence as mental and neurological diseases in the international classification of diseases, and confirmed that tobacco is the greatest threat to human health.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that smoke enters from the mouth and nose, which is pungent and hot. Long term smoking will burn the body fluid, make the lung yin insufficient, and the Qi is deficient with the Yin, which will further affect the dissemination and elimination functions of the lung, and make its Qi mechanism not smooth. In addition, due to the internal and external attack of the evil of fire and heat, the scorching fluid turns into phlegm and gathers in the chest, Therefore, smokers often feel chest tightness, cough and spit yellow phlegm; Lung yin deficiency can affect the kidney for a long time. At the same time, the deficiency of son and mother can lead to the deficiency of spleen and soil.
method 1
take ear points, Shenmen, mouth, lung, trachea, adrenal gland, heart and thirst. Wipe one side of the auricle with 75% alcohol to remove the oil on the skin surface, then repeatedly press the most sensitive points (severe pain) of the ear acupoints Shenmen, mouth, lung, trachea, adrenal gland, heart and thirst with moderate strength at one end of the matchstick, disinfect it with Luo Huo iodine, dry it, and put the raw Wang Buxing seeds soaked with 75% alcohol in about 6 & times; In the middle of 6mm medical adhesive tape, align the drug seeds with the selected auricular points and paste them on the auricle. The patient uses the ipsilateral food, thumb press paste and Wang buliuxing seed on the ear 3 to 5 times a day (at any time in case of smoking addiction), taking local fever, swelling and pain as the degree, but pay attention not to hurt the ear tissue due to pressing. Alternate left and right ears, once every 3 days. 10 times a course of treatment.
formula zhongshenmen can regulate the excitation and inhibition of cerebral cortex, calm and calm the mind. It is the main point for quitting smoking; The heart has the function of calming the mind, calming the mind and eliminating annoyance; The lung is connected to the nose, dominates Qi and controls breathing, which is related to the throat. Stimulating the lung, mouth and trachea can make smokers feel disgusted with the smell of smoke, and reduce the symptoms of cough and phlegm caused by smoking; Thirst has the effect of quenching thirst and can eliminate the thirst of smokers; Adrenal gland has the function of regulating disordered endocrine and adrenaline, improving symptoms and reducing human dependence on cigarettes.
Method 2
take Tianmei point. Make the patient take a comfortable position and fully expose the selected acupoints. After routine disinfection, use a disposable acupuncture needle to stab sweet acupoint 0.8 inch in the direction of elbow joint with the needle tip at an angle of less than 15 degrees. It is better to twist, turn, flatten, supplement and laxate to make local swelling and conduction to elbow joint. Keep the needle for 30 minutes and strengthen the manipulation every 10 minutes, once a day, 10 times a course of treatment.
Fangzhong sweet point is a new point for quitting smoking accidentally discovered by American doctor olmsjs in 1981. Olmsjs treated 5000 smokers with sweetness, with a success rate of 80%. This method can be effective without any side effects, and can give smokers confidence and hope.
