Reasons for smoking addiction Smokers are often addicted to smoking, which is mainly the result of the long-term effects of nicotine. Nicotine, like other narcotics, does not adapt when first smoked, causing chest tightness, nausea, dizziness and other discomfort, but if you smoke for a long time, the nicotine in the blood reaches a certain concentration, repeatedly stimulating the brain and making the organs produce dependence on nicotine, at which point the addiction becomes entangled. If you stop smoking, there will be temporary irritability, insomnia, anorexia and other so-called “withdrawal symptoms”, plus many smokers have a psychological dependence on tobacco, that smoking can refresh, relief, eliminate fatigue, etc., so the addiction is getting bigger and bigger, can not stop. In fact, tobacco and heroin addiction caused by different, the former can be completely quit, the key to quit the psychological dependence on tobacco. This psychological dependence leads to a behavioral dependence of smokers, making it very difficult for smokers to quit, which invariably increases the difficulty of quitting. Secondhand smoke endangers the health of others A person who smokes may seem to have “nothing to do with others,” but in fact, his or her family is being harmed by passive smoking. According to the World Health Organization’s definition, passive smoking means that a nonsmoker inhales smoke exhaled by a smoker for more than fifteen minutes a day for more than one day a week. In China, 71% of homes, 32.5% of public places and 25% of workplaces are affected by people who ” The “swallowing of fog” and passive smoking places. Smoking has four major effects on fertility Many couples have been married for many years but do not want to have children, only to find that the original because the male sperm quality is not good, high malformation rate, and the cause of the culprit is long-term smoking. In this regard, the experts pointed out that for men, to have a healthy baby, it is best to stay away from tobacco. Smoking will increase the chance of blood vessel blockage, the penile corpus cavernosum has many microvascular, insufficient blood supply will cause sexual function to become poor, erection and lasting ability are affected, premature ejaculation aggravated, but also impotence. Also smokers have a high chance of atherosclerosis. Clinical experience has shown that smokers inhibit sperm production and motility and have a lower chance of conception. According to data, the number of normal sperm in men who smoke is reduced by about 10%. The incidence of deformed sperm is significantly higher in heavy smokers who smoke 21 to 30 cigarettes a day; the incidence of deformed sperm is higher in those who smoke more than 30 cigarettes. The longer the smoking time, the more deformed sperm, and as the number of normal sperm continues to decrease, sperm motility will also be weakened. More than 5,000 pregnant women have been analyzed and found that their husbands who smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day had greatly increased prenatal fetal mortality; the more they smoked, the higher the mortality rate. The proportion of women whose husbands smoked who gave birth to defective children was about 2.5 times higher than those whose husbands did not smoke. I. Smoking affects fertility The most important finding of the Oxford Family Planning Society in the fertility study was that fertility showed a sustained and significant decline with increased smoking. The study of 17, smoking caused abnormal fetuses 000 women of childbearing age after eleven and a half years of research concluded the following: heavy smoking can impair fertility, women who smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day, after stopping the use of contraception, the infertility rate of 10.7%, while the non-smokers of infertility rate of only 5.4%. The fertility of women who have quit smoking and women who have never smoked is approximately the same. Second, smoking can cause sperm abnormalities Psychologists at Florida State University concluded through controlled trials that smoking weakens men’s reproductive function. They compared 43 smokers and non-smokers in two groups, where sperm were too large, too small, concentrated or deformed with vacuoles, multiple heads, multiple tails and tail deformities as morphological abnormalities. It was found that the normal values of spermatozoa were lower in smokers than in non-smokers. It was also found that the sperm malformation rate was related to the number of cigarettes smoked. The cigarette concentrate contains carcinogens, which are also present in the body fluids of smokers, and sperm receive such carcinogens and are prone to genetic damage. Third, smoking can cause chromosomal abnormalities Dr. Carreno in the United States to clarify the health risks of tobacco at the chromosomal level, he conducted chromosomal observations of different smoking groups, the results found that in normal people 46 chromosomes in general only 7-10 abnormalities, while smokers can be up to about 20 chromosomes sister monomer swap. It was also found that the longer the smoking history and the greater the amount of smoking, the higher the rate of chromosomal abnormalities; the effects of smoking persisted even after 3 months of stopping smoking. In addition, the proportion of cells with chromosomal abnormalities was 70% for smokers and only about 15% for nonsmokers. Fourth, women smoking during pregnancy can produce a variety of harm to the fetus: (1) the high incidence of premature babies. According to a survey of 7499 pregnant women, the incidence of premature infants smoking group was 12.5%, non-smoking group was 6.8%, the difference between the two comparisons, nearly double. (2) Smoking causes uterine contractions, which increases the incidence of miscarriage. (3) The incidence of congenital malformations was high. According to a group of reports, the incidence of congenital a heart disease in infants smoking group is 0.77%, non-smoking group only 0.47%, a significant difference. The effect on the placenta: smokers due to hypoxemia, early abruption of the placenta can be seen clinically, placental infarction and increased incidence of placenta praevia. Therefore, if a couple is preparing to get pregnant, they should quit smoking for at least three months to ensure that the harmful substances remaining in the body are expelled. It is important for the mother-to-be to avoid smoke inhalation, to stay away from smoking occasions, and to avoid second-hand smoke at home. There are many reasons for this: repeat smokers are more likely to become addicted than other smokers, they inhale more cigarettes, and each puff of smoke is deeper, and the effects on the body are self-evident. For each smoker, the urge to smoke is more likely to occur in certain “risky” situations (when others around you are smoking, when you are stressed, when you are irritable, after drinking alcohol), so try to avoid these situations and take a few slow, deep breaths or engage in other activities to distract yourself when the urge to smoke arises.
