Today, May 31, marks World No Tobacco Day, which aims to draw attention to the dangerous consequences of smoking.
And Dr. Andrei Nefedov, an oncologist and thoracic surgeon, points out in an interview with the newspaper “Izvestia” the consequences of smoking and the methods that help to get rid of this bad habit.
According to him, smoking is the main cause of lung cancer development (85-90 percent of cases). Lung cancer is one of the deadliest types of cancer, with 2.2 million people diagnosed in the world annually, and annually killing about 1.8 million patients.
And he adds: The first step when quitting smoking is to make the decision and always return to the argument that the person has set for himself, when he feels the desire to smoke.
He says: “A person cannot quit smoking immediately, and this is normal. Therefore, this must be done gradually with setting a goal and a plan to gradually reduce the number of cigarettes of all kinds for each week or month. In addition, family, relatives and friends must be informed of the decision to quit smoking because Their support is helpful and they can be asked to help put in place a coordination to achieve this decision.The smoking habit should be replaced with other rituals, such as deep breathing, walking, drinking water with a straw.All these things help to simulate the smoking process which reduces the craving for nicotine.Of course, A specialist can be consulted about this.
The specialist points out that a person who smokes or has smoked for 30 years is in the risk group for the development of lung cancer, so he must always take care of his health.
He says: “The choice to smoke or not to smoke is always up to the person. If he makes it in favor of smoking, then it is worth undergoing a series of additional studies that can detect lung cancer in the early stages and save lives. One of these studies is low-dose tomography. Unlike fluorography, Very small tumors can be found and removed surgically without much harm to the body.Because if lung cancer is not treated in time, but in the last stages, there is not much that can be done to save his life.Therefore, it is better to quit smoking, and if This is not possible, so regular check-ups should be done.”
