Smoking and its impact on human health Tobacco smoking weakens and undermines health, reduces ability to work, shortens life expectancy. One of the most dangerous diseases of chemical dependence, attributed to bad habits, is smoking. About 2,5 million people die prematurely among smokers each year. Smoking is especially dangerous in certain age periods - youth, old age. A lot of smokers are people who lead an unhealthy lifestyle or are busy with big, hard work and sleep little. But we must not forget that stimulation of the nervous system with nicotine leads to the depletion of a person's energy capabilities. Smoking in an intensive mode causes overwork and the phenomena of acute poisoning: headache, pallor, dryness and bitterness in the mouth, heart spasms. A link has been established between tobacco smoking and the occurrence of cancer of the lips, tongue, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Especially when smoking, the respiratory organs are affected: chronic bronchitis of the smoker occurs, emphysema of the lungs gradually develops. Smokers are always worried about coughing. Smoking leads to a violation of vitamin metabolism. There comes a lack of vitamin C, which is accompanied by irritability, fatigue, sleep disturbance, frequent colds. Insufficient assimilation of vitamin A leads to night blindness (impaired vision at dusk). Tobacco smoke affects the central nervous system, first exciting and then depressing it. Under the influence of smoking, memory, attention, muscle strength weaken, working capacity decreases, intelligence falls. Smoking contributes to the occurrence and worsens the course of a number of diseases of the cardiovascular system: atherosclerosis of the coronary vessels and myocardial infarction, hypertension, endarteritis, narrowing and blockage of small arteries of the vessels of the lower extremities). Acting on the digestive organs, tobacco combustion products cause inflammation, ulcers of the mucous membrane of the stomach, esophagus and intestines. A smoking pregnant woman may have a miscarriage, premature birth, and a decrease in fetal weight. If a woman smokes during breastfeeding, then the child becomes weak, painful. Tobacco poisoning in childhood leads to a slowdown in the growth and overall development of the child, and disorders of the cardiovascular system occur. Currently, non-smokers have begun to detect diseases inherent in smokers. This is due to passive smoking, i.e., when a person is forced to stay in a smoky room for a long time. In children of smoking parents, the frequency of bronchitis and pneumonia increases, and the risk of serious complications increases. In passive smokers, hearing, vision, smell deteriorate, diseases of the lungs and the cardiovascular system appear, headaches, dizziness, weakness, and malaise occur. Running forms of smoking require treatment, the initial ones can be interrupted by an effort of will and appropriate behavior. The biggest damage from smoking is serious illness, congenital deformities, disability and, as proven by science, premature death.
