Careful observation of the smokers around it is not difficult to find that many young adults in their thirties and forties are actually more than ten years of smoking “old smokers”! As the woman behind these smokers, most people have tried hard to persuade men to quit smoking, but how to persuade are unsuccessful, and over time even. But did you know? Second-hand smoke is harmful to many, the following to introduce you to. Second-hand smoke, that is, non-smokers are reluctant, reluctant passive smoking. It is understood that the harmful particles in the smoke can stay in the air for several hours, fans, air conditioners can not be completely extracted. These harmful substances can also “stick” in the room floor, ceiling, walls, furniture, curtains, for a long time will remain toxic, “tough” ridiculous. As early as 1996, the National Epidemiological Study of Smoking showed that 57% of women over the age of 15 and more than 60% of women of childbearing age were passive smokers every day. Of the women who were passive smokers, 71% were at home, 25% were at work, and 33% were passive smokers in public places. In some specific industries, such as women who work in restaurants and bars, almost 100% of women are passive smokers in the workplace. But what specific aspects of secondhand smoke can harm women? 1, skin aging, face value plummeting. This may be related to the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin due to prolonged smoking and lower estrogen levels. Long-term inhalation of second-hand smoke, the metabolism of cells in the skin will become slow, the skin’s original moisturizing function is reduced, so there is a rough skin, wrinkles, dull color, yellowing, muscle relaxation and other phenomena, seriously affecting women’s skin health. 2, gynecological problems ensue, and even cause infertility and miscarriage. The results of a follow-up survey on the incidence of lung cancer in 91,540 women over 40 years of age showed that the incidence of “secondhand smoke” increased significantly among women. Women who live with smokers are more likely to have irregular menstruation, early menopause, reduced fertility and pregnancy disorders, and are 2.7 times more likely to suffer from infertility and to have miscarriages, premature births and stillbirths after pregnancy. Why does smoking cause infertility? A study shows that nicotine has the effect of reducing the amount of sex hormones and killing sperm, smoking 30 cigarettes a day, sperm survival rate of only 49%, the mortality rate of 51%. Husbands who smoke reduce the likelihood of their wives conceiving by half. More regrettably, this birth defect, caused by sperm damage from smoking, is passed on to children. In a survey of 15,000 children, it was found that parents who smoked more than 20 cigarettes a day had children with a risk of congenital defects such as harelip, heart valve disease or urethral stenosis, nearly 50% more than children born to non-smoking parents, most of which were caused by the father’s smoking. Pregnant women smoking secondhand smoke will also reduce the fetal blood zinc content, affecting fetal brain development. 3, various diseases “follow”. The most prominent ones are lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases. From medical evidence, the incidence of lung cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is significantly higher in people who come into contact with smoke. Surveys in Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, Hong Kong and other countries and regions have shown that the risk of lung cancer for a non-smoking wife living with a smoking husband is 1.5-2 times higher than for a non-smoking wife living with a non-smoking husband. The more the husband smokes and the longer they live together, the more the wife suffers. Secondhand smoke inhaled by the wife can cause abnormal blood lipids, thicken the blood, destroy the heart muscle tissue, reduce the blood pressure and blood flow regulation ability of the blood vessels, which in turn increases the risk of heart attack. In addition, the chemical substances in smoke continue to irritate the mucous membranes can cause local inflammation, such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, reduced lung function, inflammation of the digestive tract, and so on. For the sake of your own health and the health of your family, you should firmly say “NO” to second-hand smoke, tell your husband and colleagues in an appropriate way that you do not like the smell of smoke, and usually drink more water, urinate more, and exercise more, which can accelerate the discharge of nicotine and other harmful substances.
