According to the World Health Organization, tobacco is the second cause of death worldwide, and causes man dies every 6.5 seconds. Seeing these facts is a wise decision to stop our dependence on cigarettes.
To stop this bad habit is to find an alternative body damage caused by smoking
- Psoriasis
Non-infectious inflammatory skin disease that manifests as red spots, itching and weeping that affects the whole body.
- Eyes
It is estimated that tobacco causes or worsens some eye conditions. The percentage of people with cataracts, which cloud the lens that blocks light travel and can cause blindness.
- Wrinkles
Tobacco causes premature skin aging due to wear results of the protein that gives elasticity, and depletion of vitamin A and the suffering ischemic tissue. Smokers have dry, rough and lined with tiny wrinkles, especially around the lips and eyes.
- Hearing Loss
Tobacco is made from the formation of plaque in blood vessel walls, thus reducing the inner ear irrigation. Thus, smokers can lose their hearing at younger ages than non-smokers and are more prone to this complication in cases of ear infections or exposure to loud noise. In addition, smokers three times more likely than nonsmokers to suffer middle ear infections.
Have shown that more than 40 chemicals contained in tobacco causes cancer. Smokers have 20 times more likely to suffer lung cancer than non-smokers. Tobacco is the cause of nearly 90% incidence of lung cancer in men and 80% in women and many studies show that smokers have more time for more risk of other cancers: it doubled the risk of cancer, paranasal sinuses and multiplied by 4 to 5 to oral cavity cancer for 2 nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal and 4-5 for hypopharyngeal; by 10 laryngeal for 2-5 in the throat; with 2, stomach, pancreatic cancer, kidney 2-4 and 1.5-2. Recent studies also suggest strongly that smoking may increase breast cancer and that cessation substantially reduces the risk of most cancers
mentioned. Tobacco disrupt chemical processes occur in the mouth, contributing to excessive tartar. In addition to the yellow-stained teeth and accelerate tooth decay. Some studies conclude that smoking contributes to tooth decay. The risk of tooth loss is multiplied by 1.5 in smokers.
- Emphysema
In addition to lung cancer, tobacco causes emphysema (distension and rupture of lung alveoli) and reduce lung capacity to take oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. In extreme cases, so that you can breathe, the patient experienced tracheotomy: an incision in the trachea, and uses a respirator to enter through the air in his lungs. Chronic bronchitis involves the accumulation of mucus, pus, causing coughing and shortness of breath.
- Osteoporosis
Carbon monoxide, the most dangerous gas fumes from burning
vehicles and tobacco are absorbed into the blood much faster than oxygen, which reduces up to 15% capacity of oxygen in the blood of heavy smokers. As a result, smokers lose bone density, fractures more easily and take up to 80% more troops. Smokers are also more prone to back problems, a study has shown that after injury, back pain is 5 times more common among workers who smoked.
- Heart Disease
Heart disease is the cause of one of the three deaths in the world. Leading tobacco consumption among the risk factors associated with heart disease. This condition is collected every year more than one million people live in developing countries. In developed countries, cardiovascular diseases associated with tobacco consumption every year kill more than 600 000 people. Tobacco accelerated heart rate, increased blood pressure and increases the risk of hypertension and clogged arteries, which can cause heart attacks and strokes.
- Peptic ulcer
Reduce consumption of tobacco resistance to bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. Limiting its ability to neutralize the acid after eating, which encourages erosion of the stomach wall. Ulcers smokers respond less to treatment and tend to be more frequent relapses.
- Dyschromia finger
Tar in tobacco smoke accumulate in the fingers and nails were stained brown and yellow.
- Cervical cancer and spontaneous abortion
Besides increasing the risk of cervical cancer, tobacco brought infertility problems in women and cause complications during pregnancy and childbirth. Snuff consumption during pregnancy increases the risk that the newborn’s weight loss and health problems in the future. Spontaneous abortion of two or three times more common among smokers, such as prenatal death due to lack of oxygen experienced by the fetus and placenta disorders affect as a result of carbon monoxide and nicotine from cigarette smoke. Sudden infant death syndrome is also associated with tobacco consumption. Finally, tobacco can reduce the level of estrogen, so menopause face.
- Sperm deformation
Tobacco can alter sperm morphology and DNA damage, which increases the risk of spontaneous abortion and birth defects. In some studies, male smokers are more likely to father a child with cancer. Tobacco also reduces the number of sperm cells and inhibits blood flow to the penis can cause impotence. Infertility is more common among smokers.
- Buerger’s Disease
Buerger’s disease, also known as thromboangiitis obliterans, is an inflammation of the blood vessels, blood vessels and nerves, especially the feet, which reduces blood flow. If left untreated, can lead to gangrene (tissue death) and require amputation of the affected areas.
Now you just choose, the pleasure is false or intentionally damage the body, as you not too late, was trying to avoid little by little.
