What are the advantages and disadvantages of smoking

Many people like to light up a cigarette when they have nothing to do, but you should know that smoking is harmful to health, which everyone knows. Smoking not only harms our daily health, but many people think that smoking can not only help refresh our mind, but also help us relieve some other uncomfortable symptoms. So is smoking good or bad? Let's take a look at the pros and cons of smoking.

The harm of smoking to the human body: A person who smokes 15 to 20 cigarettes a day is 14 times more likely to die from lung cancer, oral cancer or laryngeal cancer than a non-smoker; he is four times more likely to die from esophageal cancer than a non-smoker; his chance of dying from bladder cancer is twice as great; and his chance of dying from heart disease is also twice as great. Smoking is the main cause of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and chronic lung disease itself increases the risk of pneumonia and heart disease, and smoking also increases the risk of high blood pressure. Cigarette smoke (especially the tar it contains) is a carcinogen - that is, it can cause cancer in the tissues it comes into contact with. Therefore, a smoker may develop cancer in any part of his or her respiratory tract (including the mouth and throat). Nicotine can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. Tobacco smoke, possibly because it contains carbon monoxide, seems to promote the accumulation of atherosclerosis, which is one of the causes of many heart diseases. Heavy smokers are much more likely to die from a heart attack than non-smokers.

Smoking also has its benefits: when you are sad, smoking a cigarette can make you forget your worries; when you stay up late, smoking a cigarette can cheer you up; when you meet with friends, passing a cigarette can bring you closer; when you have a meal with clients, passing a cigarette can deepen the relationship between you. In short, it plays a big role in the social circle. Smoking can make you feel happy. When you are heartbroken, smoking a cigarette can make you feel less depressed and sometimes it can erase the trauma in your heart. When you smoke a cigarette in front of your girlfriend, she will feel you are manly and feel safe and having a sense of belonging.
