The doctor reminded: smokers, if they find two 'bumps' on their body, it is recommended to be vigilant and check their lung function early

For modern people, smoking may be a very common thing, but in fact, cigarettes are extremely harmful to the human body. During the combustion process, thousands of harmful substances will be produced, which will cause great harm to the human body after entering the human body.

We all know that "smoking is harmful to health" is not only a sentence on the cigarette pack, but also a fact. According to statistics, more than 40% of tobacco-related deaths are caused by lung diseases, including cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and tuberculosis.

And every year, more than 60,000 children under the age of 5 die from lower respiratory tract infections caused by second-hand smoke. It can be seen that smoking is not only harmful to oneself, but also harmful to others.

Moreover, long-term smokers, once the following two parts appear raised, they should be more vigilant. It may be a signal from the lungs to persuade you to quit smoking, so don't ignore it foolishly.

How dangerous is smoking?

1. Causes a decrease in bone density

Smoking is extremely harmful to the human body. After tobacco enters the human body, it will emit interfering substances, which will affect the absorption of calcium ions by the human body and lead to a decrease in bone density.

According to the survey, the bone density of smokers who have smoked for more than ten years will decrease by 2% to 3%. After the age of 45, the bone density will decline rapidly with age. As a result, many older smokers are prone to fractures.

2. Cause blood clots, cause various heart diseases

Inhaling the carbon monoxide in cigarettes reduces the blood's ability to absorb oxygen, and nicotine increases the heart rate, increases blood pressure, and reduces the capacity of the heart.

Coronary artery infarction is caused by myocardial hypoxia, and cardiac ischemia (or atherosclerosis) promotes the accumulation of atherosclerosis, and many heart diseases begin to occur.

So for your own safety, smoke less, just to live longer.

3. Damage the human lungs

Smoking shortens the cilia of bronchial epithelial cells, becomes irregular, reduces their local resistance, and makes them susceptible to infection. In addition, smoking can easily cause lung cancer, and 90% of the mortality rate is caused by smoking.

Lung cancer goes undetected in the early stages until the cancer has spread to blood vessels or other organs.

If a person's lungs are enlarged, then his lung bronchi will accumulate a large amount of toxic substances in cigarettes, which will hinder the normal breathing of the human body and make people feel difficult to breathe.

4. Causes Respiratory Cancer

Respiratory system, as the most sensitive human organ, is eroded by toxic and harmful substances in cigarettes every day, and organs with stiff respiratory system are also prone to disease and cancer.

In this regard, long-term smoking patients will have a series of symptoms such as lung cancer, because the lung squamous epithelial cells are exposed to various toxic and harmful substances every day. In the long run, mutations will emerge that will significantly increase the risk of cancer.

5. Feel powerless

We can see that most smokers are pale and emaciated, and their bodies are emaciated. In fact, smoking can affect our body's absorption of nutrients.

A pack of cigarettes a day can easily lead to a loss of body muscle mass, but still no loss of body fat. With less muscle, a person naturally feels weak and tired.

It is worth noting that due to the reduction of muscles in the body, the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in humans will greatly increase.

Smokers should pay attention. If you find two "bulges" on your body, it is recommended to be vigilant and check your lung function early

1. Protruding lymph nodes

The smoke produced by smoking will inevitably enter the throat, and the harmful substances in the smoke are also very high, such as nicotine, which generally has little effect on the body.

After nicotine enters the throat, it is easy to cause lymph nodes to swell. Swollen lymph nodes can cause the jaw to bulge. As long as you observe carefully, it is easy to find that swollen lymph nodes can cause pain.

If smokers find that they have this phenomenon, they need to pay attention. This problem may not be small. If they are not careful, it may aggravate their condition. Therefore, once smokers find bulging lymph nodes, they should quit smoking in time to avoid certain diseases.

2. Raised fingers

For people who smoke regularly, their fingers will appear yellowing, which is also a very common phenomenon, but if the ends of the fingers suddenly become thicker.

Or the fingers are protruding, which also indicates that there is a problem with the lungs, so people who smoke regularly must observe the changes in their fingers more.

If there is an inexplicable bulge or hyperplasia at the end of the finger, you should quit smoking in time, which also means that your lungs have sent you a healthy signal.

Extension: People who smoke regularly should pay attention and try to stay away from 4 kinds of cigarettes!

1. Relit cigarettes

Now people's life pace is very fast. Under the pressure of life, they will choose to work hard. Some people may choose to smoke at work to relieve stress, but due to some emergency situation, they end up putting out the cigarette.

Some people save a snuffed cigarette for another smoke, but the second time the cigarette is lit, it releases even more harmful substances. Therefore, it is more harmful to the body, so old smokers should stay away from this kind of cigarettes.

2. Cigarettes are damp and moldy

There are many old smokers who think it is troublesome to buy cigarettes in packs. They will buy a lot at once and keep them at home. They can take it whenever they want to smoke. Sometimes, you may not be able to smoke for a month or two. If you leave it in for too long and don't store it properly, it can make the cigarette damp and moldy.

This moldy cigarette should be thrown away and not smoked again. This cigarette tastes bad. It also contains a large amount of aflatoxin, which is highly carcinogenic, which will increase the risk of cancer.

3. Homemade cigarettes

This kind of situation is more common in rural areas. Some people like to smoke, but they are also very aware of their financial situation, so they will make cigarettes by themselves to reduce the financial burden of the family.

There are also people who make tea cigarettes by themselves, that is, make tea into cigarettes. Such people think that tea can keep in good health, and smoking tea will not be harmful to the body.

In fact, whether it is homemade cigarettes or tea cigarettes, they are not processed and contain higher levels of poison. After burning, it will not only suffocate people, but also the toxins in the smoke will not degrade, which is more harmful to the body.

4. Thin smoke

Smoking is also very common now, mainly among women. They will also think that such cigarettes contain less harmful substances, such as nicotine and tar, than regular cigarettes.

However, related studies have found that this kind of cigarette will produce more harmful substances after burning, and the smoke concentration will be higher. Therefore, the harmful substances produced by this cigarette will not be less than that of ordinary cigarettes.
