Hundreds of smokers your waist I meet on the streets. Hundreds of people, I prooperiroval about lung cancer. And hundreds - I do not slip - hundreds had to refuse because nothing could no longer be done ... No surgeon for anything heavier than a denial of assistance because of a patient's own powerlessness. And more than once I had to acknowledge its impotence when it was about saving the lives of the affected lung and multi-smokers. In recent years, operating tables comes a lot of women smoking. I have thee not pugayu. Smoking - Deed "voluntary". Only, if you start to read my letter, let express their views, then do not despair tvoja torn my heart. Opinion is not only a surgeon (unfortunately not able to show you in these pages cancer zadushivshuyu lungs), but also the person who knows the price of suffering.
Through my hands and my heart went hundreds of people suffering precisely because not able to leave on time pernicious habit. Complaints about the same, and begin with the phrase: "There is something I have to light ..." Once my good friend asked me to the same words. We agreed on the meeting, but he had only a few months. When the operating table he revealed chest, it appeared that everything has already proroslo metastases, and nothing can help him. Hard to know that the patient dies. Even harder it is your closest comrade ...
In these lines, addressed to you, will be the facts and figures found my minded. But I, surgeon, presenting with particular clarity what lies behind these figures and interest.
No, I will not frighten you have already become trite examples that the drop of nicotine kills horse - a horse you do not, you people, or that smoking 20 cigarettes a day reduced life on 8-12 years; you young, you think life and endless. According to the British medical doctors, each cigarette is a cigarette smoker 15 minutes of life.
Minims, if you only twenty. What you from the fact that hard-core smokers sick with lung cancer 30 times more likely than non-smokers, and the reason for this terrible disease in 95-98 from 100 cases - smoking. American cardiologists cause such figures: the average age of deaths from heart attacks - 67 years old, smokers - 47. You only twenty years, and up to forty-seven more ... Of course, this does not threaten you. I did ...
With great dismay I see that as pokurivayut near girls schools, closed cigarette in fist (as they say on "pioneer"), that have not seen from the windows. Unfortunately, we know that they have learned to smoke, mirroring the Royden.
The pain of my soul covers from the fact that in dormitory girls are going to have a smoke and chat on the future of marriage. I can assume that the marriage is in your plans yet to be seen. Because I tell you a different story.
Sociologists conducted an anonymous questionnaire, which asked: why do you smoke? 60 per cent of girls replied: it is beautiful and fashionable. And 40 per cent of smokers because the boys want to enjoy. Assume. And even in something they "live". Because it lies in the desire you like nature. No live temporarily: worth knowing and views boys.
256 youths were interviewed. They suggested three questions and answers, respectively, are three options: positively indifferent negatively.
First question: "In your company girls smoke. How do you treat this? "- 4% positive, 54% indifferent, 42% negative.
Question Two: "The girl with which you make friends, smokes. How do you treat this? "- 1% positive, 15% indifferent, 84% negative.
Question Three: "I would like you to thy wife smoked?" - Storm protests! Of the 256 only two responded that they have. More categorically objected.
Now think together. Do you operations on the lungs far. Not going to get married. All well and you smoking. Where is it? In my view, smoking in those companies where going to stay cheerful. Cigarette in your hands - as if a signal: You modern. It means, and to love and friendship to treat with a considerable share of levity. Young men with young women smokers are more comfortable, and girls in their innocence, believe that enjoyed success hardly believe what constitutes a temporary fun factor.
Yes, yes, you, girl smokers - temporary fun. I think that cigarette, you udeshevlyaesh ourselves unizhaesh their dignity, delayas not modern in the true sense of the word, but rather frivolous and more accessible. Who inspired you the "fashion" of this terrible habit? Who zaprogrammiroval you to engage, in which thy youth does not see all the catastrophe you waiting?
Not angry, but I will try to paint your future, as it seems to me. And if you are in this usomnishsya, look, look at women smokers older than you.
From smoking will be your voice hoarse, gradually blackened, sours teeth. Leather person becomes sallow tint. Dramatically affected tvoja charisma, and worse taste sensations. Perhaps you have already highlighted how often splevyvayut smokers. I do not know whether you have time to notice that every smoker's mouth is constantly smell ... That smell is so unpleasant that it was not surprised if any of your friends you guys will be avoided. You will wake up with pain in the mouth and headache of what all night coughing. Very early in the skin of your face becomes wrinkled and dry. Women showers in 25 years look much older than their non-smoking waist. Here's what the real price of your smoking! Privlechesh you not to itself, but rather ottolknesh any serious guy.
Try to think like sit next to the Aeroflot. And if you compare it does not threaten or you are not able to see the difference between you, let you notice that your appearance - that's not the main target. The sooner you hate smoking, the more dangerous for you poison effects of tobacco smoke. And if you pristrastishsya to smoking long before you begin to age-related changes, it will go slower development body. Under the influence of nicotine occurs Persistent narrowing of the blood vessels (the content of oxygen in the blood decreases from blood hemoglobin connection with smoke inhalation - a component of tobacco smoke). When smoking under the influence of high temperature of 30 tobacco stands out harmful substances: nicotine, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, nitrogen, carbon monoxide and various essential oils. Among them especially dangerous benzopiren - стопроцентный carcinogen ( "cancer" - in Latin - cancer).
If you are eager, you might be interested in these American scholars. They found cigarette smoke in a significant number of polonium-210, which emits alpha particles. In one stack of cigarettes vykurivanii personally you will receive radiation dose to seven times more established international agreement to protect against radiation.
Nicotine - this drug. Only in this way it refers to the supreme body of world medicine - World Health Organization. And that means that every year you will be increasingly difficult. Tobacco, reducing blood vessels, not only enhanced the work is of the heart, but also degrades and destroys many body systems.
You lit ... Then everything is known for a long time scheme. Nicotine causes a short time to expand blood vessels, increasing blood cells of the brain. This is a sharp spasm of vessels, resulting in various brain disorders occur. Next. Nicotine-redolent functions on the nervous system, lungs, liver, digestive organs, sexual glands.
Irrefutably proved: you will be sick for three to four times more of their non-smoking girlfriends. Inevitably come a time when you will feel bad and the constant malaise tvoju make life burdens.
But let's talk about another one. Maybe you will be interested to know that women suffer severely from smoking because of a tender body structure, which by nature is designed to continue the race. It has long been known facts speak that the worst showers could not give birth to children because Profound changes have taken place in the embryonic administration. The most frequent complications caused by smoking, is the premature termination of pregnancy - before 36 weeks. U smokers, it happens twice as often. You know not prevent that women smokers are much more likely premature fetus and newborn less weight (yes, the newborn, your child, which you may not think, but tvoja smoking affect its viability). A higher percentage of smokers stillborn children, and more pathology in childbirth. I undeniable fact - smoking is a very detrimental impact on the development of the child has already been born. Knowing this, it makes sense to think about the marriage of the husband, who will wait son, a son might not be ... I may come a day when doctors will say to you: "Sorry, you will never be able to give birth".
Now it is difficult for you to understand. But my experience tells hundreds of such cases. U women smokers quietly approaching a critical point, after which it could no longer give birth, although it was prepared for this at all, to any transaction of any casualties. I pover, you will no exception: nature has created you, that you were the mother. And how would you nor horohorilas today, it will force you to live interests of the children.
Believe me, cigarettes can maim tvoju life. First tvoju. And when you prove that the entire blame smoking, and you proklyanesh himself, and all his life. Think that you would not children. And your husband could leave. He will go to less worthy than you, just because of the law known as the father. Believe, it can do so because the father's feelings no less strong than the parent.
And if you are smoking, being pregnant, then know that the experiment is set: smoke is pregnant, as a few minutes nicotine comes (via placenta) in the heart and brain yet unborn. And this poison you unwittingly etch it. Scientists have traced the development characteristics of children born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy. These children are observed to 5-6 - age, largely behind in their physical and mental development. Incidentally, among children whose fathers are intense smokers, about twice as likely to occur lower.
And all the time your child is sick. His wait and pneumonia and bronchitis. In desperation you will look for the causes, not knowing that they are in you. Even if you smoke in the corridor on the ladder venue - even a tiny proportion of smoke entering the room will be enough for your child, that he had suddenly increased temperature.
U smoking mothers hundred per cent of children smoke. And your child thoroughly you for the most clever, affectionate, good to see you with cigarettes, too, will begin to smoke. This means that you advance zaprogrammirovala it to the same misery that await you.
My experience tells terrible incident related to adolescent smoking. In one of the boarding schools, the morning were unable to wake the boy. He died during the night. An autopsy showed that he had a sick heart - because sooner learned to smoke, smoked long, and on the eve of death, as the guys have said, "nakurilsya to satiety." In families where parents smoked, but then stopped, however, are beginning to smoke 67 percent of boys and 78 percent of girls.
According to WHO, 80 per cent of smokers children retain this harmful habit, becoming adults. Already set: if a teenager cigarettes at least two cigarettes, in 70 cases out of 100 it will be smoking all his life. Think!
And now I would like to know why you are smoking. Probably think that look beautiful? In vain. This minute pleasure - to see themselves with cigarettes by, sandwiched between the fingers. Are you one of those who did not realize that doing, and when they speak, weak answer: "I can not quit!". And please do not ssylaysya for artists, which you see on the screens with cigarettes. Thy passion, I would not classify as youthful stupidity, but as a crime. Yes, yes, you can write a reminder in three words: "Smoking - a slow suicide". And in the near future will be able to verify that that was the case. It is a pity that on your most difficult stage of life need my assistance as a surgeon ... In the meantime, I can warn that smoking doom you to frequent illness. This stenocardia and heart attacks at a young age, and stomach ulcer. Studying 205 people who died of a heart attack at the age of 44 years, it was found that only two non smoking. Among patients with gastric cancer, 95 per cent of smokers. And if the smokers had not yet developed lung cancer, in most cases already have submitted cancer condition. In smokers are three to four times higher death rate from gastric ulcers.
According to WHO, in which a lot of perseverance and studying the problem of smoking, from causes related to tobacco use, one in five die. If this is applied to our circumstances, we lose every year five hundred thousand people! Among them could be you, your husband, your children, friends and acquaintances.
One final point. I understand that in the search for reasons justifying tvoja passivity, you can say: "If this is so bad, why sell tobacco products in such abundance?". Organizations that promote the tobacco industry, believe that the benefits are greater. However, this illusion. Country and the people are losing a lot of tobacco more than gaining. Today, the WHO is taking the slogan: "Smoking or Health? Choose yourself! "
