"Swallowing clouds and spitting fog, there are no two ways to communicate with each other. When people want to communicate, cut tobacco is the first to open the way. Cigarettes are often used in social situations as a vanguard of etiquette in modern society.". In addition to greeting with cigarettes, many smokers (especially men) use cigarettes as a decoration or a symbol of loneliness.
Cigarette=Poison Collection
However, although cigarettes have become a cultural symbol and social etiquette, they are harmful to health without any benefits. Although it's not easy to send you to God in the blink of an eye, the smoke of cigarettes can be described as a complete collection of poisons. According to statistics in "Environmental Poisons", there are 175 kinds of toxic substances in the burning smoke of cigarettes. However, this is not the point yet. This article will focus on the damage of cigarettes to sexual function.
Many scholars have done a lot of research on the impact of smoking on sexual function. In Hong Kong, researchers conducted a survey of 819 normal men. The results showed that compared to non smokers, smokers who smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day were significantly more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction; And as they age, the incidence of erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction also increases significantly. Another document from Germany shows that in the statistical survey of Bavaria from 1999 to 2009, two-thirds of patients with sexual dysfunction were regular smokers who smoked all year round.
Perhaps, this description still seems abstract, so let's talk specifically about what's in the cloud that can make you "surrender your gun.".
Smokers are prone to impotence
Many women often feel that obese men have poor sexual abilities, which, although there is no conclusive evidence, strongly affects their behavior when seeking a partner. In fact, this feeling is the correct guide of instinct. Most obese people have poor sexual abilities because they tend to have higher blood lipids, which can affect their erectile ability and status.
We know that the reason why the penis can erect is due to massive congestion of the cavernous body. "This congestion must be achieved by a large inflow of arterial blood and a small outflow of venous blood. If there is less inflow of blood, an erection will not be firm enough or even impossible to achieve at all.".
"If the blood lipid content is too high, it may adhere to the inner wall of arterial blood vessels, resulting in poor blood circulation, which can lead to arteriosclerosis.". Unfortunately, the main arteries in the penis are thinner than the main arteries in most other organs. In this way, once your blood lipids are high, your little brother will bear the brunt and be affected by high blood lipids. If the artery there becomes narrow, "Kaiyuan" will not be awesome. In this way, no matter how "blocked" the vein is, your little brother cannot stand up.
What does this have to do with cigarettes? It turns out that nicotine in the smoke after cigarette burning can help blood lipids adhere to the inner walls of arteries, which makes smokers more prone to erectile dysfunction due to high blood lipids. In addition, nicotine can also cause nerve overexcitation, leading to less sensitivity to sexual stimuli.
Children or cigarettes, this is a problem
Some smokers may say, "I'm not very interested in sexual well-being, and I just hope to have a cute child. It's still easy to have a child if you smoke or not."
Hey hey, if you really plan like that, you'll cry to death. Why? Do you remember the book "Environmental Poisons" mentioned in the first paragraph? The "List of Hazardous Substances in Cigarette Smoke" listed there is almost as diverse as the list of toxic substances. It has everything! Like aromatic hydrocarbons, alkaloids (nicotine is also called nicotine, which belongs to this category), heavy metal particles, toxic non-metals, toxic small molecules, oxygen free radicals, and even radioactive gas radon! Think about it. With so many poisons inhaled into the body, does it have no impact on human creation?
Smokers who want to have children, open their eyes to the cruel reality:
1) "After cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), and arsenic (As) are introduced into the body, they can cause pathological tissue changes in the testicles, and normal sperm production is limited.".
2) Tobacco tar contains some oxidizing groups that can bind tightly to DNA, which directly leads to chromosomal synapsis disorders during sperm production - resulting in a dramatic decline in pregnancy rates.
3) A derivative of benzopyrene that can bind to the guanine base of DNA, causing an increase in the incidence of cancer in offspring. Smokers themselves also face the risk of cancer.
4) Smoking also produces various toxic oxygen active substances, such as superoxide anion (O2 -), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl free radicals (OH?). They not only damage blood vessels, cause spermatogenic dysfunction, and increase abnormal sperm, but also cause an imbalance of oxidants/antioxidants in the body, leading to mitochondrial and nuclear DNA damage.
5) In addition, smoking by a mother may also have a long-term effect on the quality of her son's semen. Jensen et al. conducted a study on the correlation between maternal smoking and testicular size and semen quality in 1770 young men from five European countries. The results showed that compared with men whose mothers did not smoke, men whose mothers smoked during pregnancy had a 20.1% decrease in sperm concentration and a 24.5% decrease in total sperm count.
In fact, if you list the hazards of cigarettes in detail, there is still much to write about. Now that the country has issued a smoking ban, no matter what others do, I think everyone should start from their own. The most obvious facts and values do not need to be popularized by preaching. For your own sake and for the sake of others, let the world have less smoke and more fragrance.
So, whether admitted or not, the harm of cigarettes lies there. As for your little brother, don't expect it to work wonders in your addiction.
