Smoking poisoning

　　The mechanism of action of smoking on human health is that: due to the raw material used to make cigarettes - tobacco, which releases carbon monoxide, nicotine, tar, heavy metals, radioactive isotopes, and other 40 or more harmful substances during combustion. After these chemical substances enter the lungs and other organs, they first stimulate and corrode the respiratory tract mucosa and lung tissue, and then increase suppressor T cells, reduce helper T cells, decrease the activity of killer cells, reduce immunoglobulins, reduce the ability of cells to produce interferon, denature cell proteins, inhibit the activity of enzymes, change cell proliferation, alter genetic factors, severely harm the function of human organs, and strongly promote cancer.

    　　Blood pressure increase, causing cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, also known as circulatory system diseases, are a series of diseases involving the circulatory system. The circulatory system refers to the organs and tissues in the human body that transport blood, mainly including the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), which can be further divided into acute and chronic, and are generally related to atherosclerosis. These diseases have similar etiology, onset process, and treatment methods. Promoting or aggravating cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients.

　　The typical symptoms of recent smoking are: cough, chest tightness, halitosis, poor appetite, delayed growth and development in adolescents, and thinning of the body in adults. Due to the long half-life of harmful chemical substances in cigarettes in the human body, their main harm is chronic invasion, which is manifested clinically as:

　　1. Inducing cancer. Due to the destruction of healthy cells in the human body by over 40 carcinogens in cigarettes, the number of lung cancer deaths in China has accounted for the first place among deaths from malignant tumors. 50% to 70% of oral cancers are caused by smoking, 30% to 40% of renal cell carcinomas and bladder carcinomas are caused by long-term smoking, and smokers are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop esophageal cancer than non-smokers.

　　2. Harm to descendants. Women who smoke during pregnancy, due to the effect of nicotine, increase carbon monoxide in the maternal body, inhibit the movement of cilia on the fallopian tube epithelium, delay ovulation, enhance the contraction tension of the fallopian tube, cause vasoconstriction and endothelial injury, inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins in the placenta, resulting in a 3-4-fold increase in ectopic pregnancy, leading to inflammatory diseases of the fallopian tubes and pelvis, premature aging of the placenta, spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, increased stillbirths, insufficient neonatal weight, decreased vision, maldevelopment of the coronary artery, congenital defects, and a 4-5-fold increase in mentally retarded children. The risk of death is 25%-65% higher.

　　3. Anticoagulation disorder. Smokers have 24% lower anticoagulation albumin than normal people, and the reduction of this anticoagulant substance is an important risk factor for the formation of venous thrombosis, making smokers more prone to cerebral thrombosis and ischemic stroke than non-smokers.

　　4. Mental disorder. Due to the stimulation of nicotine in cigarettes to the brain nerves, the incidence of mental disorders in smokers is 3 times higher than in non-smokers, and those with frequent mood instability are twice as likely as the general population.

　　5. Urinary incontinence. Due to long-term smoking, the bladder sphincter function is disordered, causing urinary incontinence during loud coughing or laughing, with a two-fold higher risk of urinary incontinence in smokers compared to non-smokers.

　　6. Impotence and infertility. Smoking men, due to the damage caused by nicotine, reduce sperm count by half, decrease vitality, and have a 23% higher incidence of impotence than non-smokers. The incidence of newborn malformations is 5 times higher than in non-smokers.

　　7. Abdominal pain and ulcers. Children in smoking households, due to passive inhalation of smoke (50 times more harmful than active smoking), stimulate the vagus nerve, causing intestinal spasm, leading to symptoms such as anorexia before meals and abdominal pain after meals. Smokers have increased gastric acid secretion at night, weakening the mucosal resistance, causing ulcers or affecting the healing of ulcers, making drugs ineffective.

　　8. Accelerating heart rate. Due to nicotine's stimulation of the nervous system, the adrenal glands secrete more, causing small arteries to spasm, increasing heart rate, and thereby increasing the heart's workload, altering the body's biochemical metabolism, forming a vicious cycle. This results in a 3-fold higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases in smokers compared to non-smokers, with a 5-fold higher incidence of heart disease and a 3.6-fold higher incidence of myocardial infarction.

　　9. Increasing blood pressure. Long-term smokers, due to the effect of nicotine toxins, cause vasoconstriction and spasm, with diastolic blood pressure 20 mmHg higher and systolic blood pressure 30 mmHg higher than non-smokers. The increase in blood pressure is even greater for beginners and those who have quit smoking and then resumed. The harmful lipid deposits caused by toxins in the vascular wall lead to atherosclerosis, with coronary heart disease 3-4 times higher than in non-smokers and stroke 3 times higher.

　　10. Shortening life expectancy. Smoking one pack of cigarettes a day for 30 consecutive years can accumulate a nicotine content of up to 109.5 grams, which is enough to kill 220,000 rats. Each cigarette smoked shortens life expectancy by 5 minutes and 30 seconds, and long-term smokers can reduce their life expectancy by an average of 6-8 years. Those who smoke two packs a day can reduce their life expectancy by up to 18 years. Every 13 seconds, someone in the world dies from smoking-related diseases.

    Prevention of smoking poisoning: Women who smoke during pregnancy, due to the effect of nicotine, increase carbon monoxide in the mother's body, so attention should be paid to preventing the inhalation of second-hand smoke during pregnancy. It is best to quit smoking. Early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are of great significance for preventing this disease. Regular examinations, strengthening publicity, and popularizing the hazards of smoking and related knowledge should be done during pregnancy.

　　One, clinical manifestations, the recent typical symptoms of smoking are: cough, chest tightness, halitosis, poor appetite, delayed development in adolescents, and emaciation in adults. Because the half-life of harmful chemical substances in cigarettes is relatively long in the human body, its main hazard is chronic damage.

　　Two, smoking history, the time and amount of smoking should be proportional to the disease caused.

　　Three, timely chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, blood tests, and other related examinations.

　　Black fungus is known as the 'meat among vegetables'. The gel in black fungus can absorb and concentrate dust and impurities remaining in the human digestive system and excrete them out, thus playing a role in clearing the stomach and intestines. At the same time, it also has the function of helping to digest fibrous substances, and has the effect of dissolving and melting foreign bodies such as hair, grain husks, wood chips, sand, and metal shavings that are unintentionally eaten. Therefore, it is an indispensable health food for miners, chemical workers, and textile workers. Eating black fungus for a period of time is very helpful for hyperlipidemia. Black fungus also has a role for smokers, especially with onions that have the functions of sterilization, digestion, and reduction of blood lipids, which has a good effect on clearing nicotine.

　　Smoking has a hundred negative effects on human health and no benefits. In order to ensure personal health and longevity, family happiness, and the optimization of descendants' reproduction, wise people can easily quit smoking habits, which are formed by the conditioned reflex of the temporary anesthesia effect of cigarettes (nicotine addiction), with the determination of reason. Those who have insufficient understanding of the hazards of smoking can use traditional Chinese medicine to assist in quitting.
