A pack of cigarettes a day or a pack of cigarettes for 3 days, which is more harmful to the body?
We all know that smoking is harmful to health, and this sentence is clearly written on the cigarette boxes sold in the Chinese market.
But for many smokers, they still insist on smoking. Because it is so difficult to quit smoking, many people have tried many times but failed. Therefore, for people who cannot successfully quit smoking, how to minimize physical harm without quitting smoking is the most important thing.
- What is the smoking index?
The calculation of the smoking index is based on a formula, that is, the number of cigarettes smoked per day multiplied by the number of years of smoking. Such results can measure how close you are to developing lung cancer. If you have a smoking history of 10 years and you smoke around 40 cigarettes per day, the smoking index is 400. Clinically, people with a smoking index of more than 400 are classified as a high-risk group prone to lung cancer.
Therefore, with longer smoking history, the incidence of lung cancer continues to rise over the age of 40, while the risk of developing cancer peaks between the ages of 50 and 59.
- A pack of cigarettes a day or a pack of cigarettes for 3 days, which one is more harmful?
If you start smoking at the age of 20, the smoking index of a pack of cigarettes a day is three times that of a pack of cigarettes for 3 days, so the degree of harm to the body can be clearly seen.
Therefore, the more smoking and the longer the smoking history, the greater the harm to the body.
- How many cigarettes do you smoke a day so that your health will not be harmed?
If it is a normal population, it is recommended to smoke no more than 3 cigarettes per day. Because research has found that the amount of nicotine and tar in 3 cigarettes is likely to be the body's tolerance limit, and the body's own function of excreting garbage toxins is just enough to withstand the filtering work of these harmful substances.
But if you smoke more than 3 cigarettes per day, it is likely to lead to the accumulation of more and more harmful substances in the body, which will lead to the occurrence of related serious diseases.
Therefore, if it is really difficult to quit smoking, then the number of cigarettes per day should not exceed 3 to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
- What diseases can excessive smoking cause?
well known. Excessive smoking greatly increases the risk of developing lung cancer. At the same time, smoking can also lead to the occurrence of respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
In addition, heavy smoking increases the incidence of atherosclerotic disease, which leads to degenerative changes in the nervous system.
