Do you know the dangers of smoking on an empty stomach?

Smoking is harmful to all organs of the human body. However, many people find it difficult to quit smoking after becoming addicted. Therefore, even if they know that it is harmful to their bodies, they still cannot completely say goodbye to cigarettes. Some friends even feel that if they don’t smoke a cigarette first thing in the morning, they will feel listless all day. In fact, this is more harmful. You must know that when you smoke on an empty stomach, the various organs of the body are more directly exposed to nicotine. If you are not clear about the specific dangers of smoking on an empty stomach, you can read the introduction in this article.

Smoking is harmful to your health. Common diseases caused by smoking are lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema, cor pulmonale, ischemic heart disease and other vascular diseases, gastric and duodenal ulcers. Smokers have a higher mortality rate than non-smokers. 90% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smokers. The more you smoke, the higher the lung cancer mortality rate.

The incidence of gastric and duodenal ulcers in smokers is twice that in non-smokers. Adolescents are in a period of rapid growth and development. Various tissues and organs in the body are still to be developed and improved. Their mental system, endocrine function, and immune function are unstable. Their resistance and adaptability to harmful substances in the outside world are very poor, and they are very prone to various diseases.

When cigarettes burn, the various harmful substances in the smoke (nicotine, tar, 3,4-benzoic acid, carbon monoxide, etc.) are more harmful to the bodies of teenagers. The younger the age of smoking, the greater the damage. Not only are they more susceptible to colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia, they can also suffer from the same diseases as adults, such as emphysema, cor pulmonale, chronic bronchitis, and bronchiectasis. In addition to being susceptible to various smoke-related diseases, smoking among teenagers also affects their physical and intellectual development. Physical examinations show that the height, chest circumference and lung capacity of smoking students are lower than those of non-smoking students of the same age. Long-term observations have confirmed that smoking students have poorer flexibility, endurance, athletic performance, academic performance and organizational discipline than non-smoking students.

In recent years, people have paid more attention to the impact of smoking on the central nervous system and the brain's learning and memory abilities. In addition, the hazards of "passive smoking (referring to non-smokers passively inhaling smoke emitted by smokers)" have also attracted the attention of medical experts around the world. Another issue worth noting is that many drug addicts start with smoking. Therefore, young people should not only not smoke themselves, but also persuade others to do so.

In addition to the above-mentioned dangers of smoking on an empty stomach, there is another point that we need to remind all smoking friends. That is, if you smoke on an empty stomach, the nicotine in the smoke will directly irritate the bronchi. If this continues for a long time, it will easily lead to bronchitis. Moreover, chronic bronchitis caused by this reason is more difficult to treat. Therefore, I hope that all smoking friends can pay attention to it. It is best not to smoke on an empty stomach in the morning to avoid aggravating the harm of smoking.
