smokingMany people don’t like to hear about the dangers of smoking. They either say it’s a “cliché” or “the old man next door to me can’t live to ninety-nine if he smokes a cigarette a day.” Who can say that?smokesNo benefit? It’s just that you don’t know. There are 4 major “benefits” of smoking, which will subvert your understanding after reading this.

1. Enjoy retirement life in advance

If you love smoking, you have already slowed down the pace of life and enjoyed a leisurely retirement life in advance. Yes, you are retiring early because your body is retiring early.

Smoking prevents your heart from working properly, nicotine increases the heart’s oxygen consumption, and carbon monoxide aggravates myocardial hypoxia. The combination of the two may eventually cause myocardial hypoxia and increase the probability of myocardial infarction.

Smoking greatly increases the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It severely reduces physical strength and causes chest tightness and asthma after walking even two steps. Not to mention working, even going out may be hard, so it is safer to enjoy a “slow life” at home.

2. Have a mature and steady face

Your maturity and stability are directly reflected in your appearance and hair. Most old smokers will have a mature “smoker’s face”: many wrinkles, dull skin, obvious acne and blackheads…

Toxic substances in smoke destroy skin collagen, causing skin to age and relax. Habitual pouting and squinting can also easily increase perioral lines and crow’s feet. There is a clear correlation between androgenic alopecia and smoking. The more you smoke, the sooner you will go bald.

3. Gain a strong sense of security

A sense of security is not only available to people with strong hearts, but also to people who like to smoke.

If you smoke for a year and a half, the strong smell of smoke will make passing dogs ignore you, and the probability of inexplicable biological attacks will plummet.

You have been smoking for three and a half years, and the smell of smoke has merged into your body odor. At this time, let alone animals, people don’t want to get close to you. When taking the bus, people will not squeeze you, but will stay away and make room for you. Safe space.

Second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke particles remain on clothes and furniture for up to several months. The smell of this smoke is both unpleasant and harmful.

4. There is no optimal age for childbearing

In medicine, there is a concept of the best age for childbearing. Women aged 25-35 and men aged 27-35 are called the “golden period of childbearing.” But after becoming a smoking enthusiast, you no longer need to worry about this, because you may have lost this function long ago.

The more you smoke and the longer you smoke, the more likely you are to have problems with your reproductive system. For men, smoking reduces the quality of sperm and affects changes in sex hormone levels in the body. In severe cases, it may cause male infertility.

For women, smoking may lead to a decrease in ovarian storage and ovarian response, advance menopause, cause harm to fetuses, and increase the incidence of miscarriage, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, and congenital malformations.

Is it true that “a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god”?

As the saying goes, “A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god.” That’s because the nicotine in tobacco enters the human body and stimulates the brain to secrete a large amount of the “happy hormone” dopamine. People like to smoke precisely because they like the effects of cigarettes. Feelings of relaxation and pleasure.

However, the pleasure brought by dopamine is short-lived. Once you become addicted to smoking, you will have a “withdrawal reaction” once you stop smoking, causing problems such as dizziness, irritability, lack of concentration, and insomnia. Therefore, the happiness of smoking is fake, while the pain and disease are real.

As long as you continue to smoke and never quit, you may become an excellent sample for medical research, especially cancer research. If you are lucky enough to live to be ninety-nine, you can continue to provide a large amount of treatment expenses to the hospital. This can be regarded as making a contribution to the medical field to the best of your ability.

After reading the “benefits” of smoking, do you still want to continue smoking? If you are still not determined to quit smoking, then please think more: a person who smokes will not only harm himself, but also his family and friends around him.
