Modern cigarettes contain about 600 different ingredients, which ultimately corresponds to more than 4000 chemicals. In cigarettes, in addition to the toxic ingredients that are familiar to us like tar and nicotine, many people are surprised to learn that they contain many other highly toxic ingredients such as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, DDT, butane, acetone, carbon monoxide and even cadmium.
Did you know that "The National Institute on Drug Abuse" estimated that in the United States alone, smoking is responsible for more than 400 deaths and that if this continues, around the year 000, the number of deaths due? tobacco worldwide will be about 2030 million?
It is not surprising, however, that this chemical cocktail is responsible for so many deaths from the two main causes of death in the United States: Cardiovascular diseases and cancer. But be aware that other health problems can be due to smoking and passive smoking including joint disorders and concerns about the spine.
Because smoking decreases the blood's ability to carry oxygen, the body compensates by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, which in turn results in poor circulation. Ultimately, poor circulation will lead to a decrease in the ability of the blood vessels to transport nutrients to living tissue, which includes the bones and discs of the spine. In the long run, this can compromise bone and joint physiology as well as the body's ability to heal from injury. Lack of nutrition of the vertebral discs can lead to chronic and severe pain as well as loss of mobility.
THE SMALL POSITIVE NOTE IN ALL CA!
For the positive note, it can be said that due to the elasticity of the human body, the ill effects of smoking can be reversed. When an individual commits to quitting smoking, the healing effects begin instantly. Within minutes, blood pressure normalizes and heart rate decreases. In about a day, the level of carbon monoxide decreases and can even go from dangerous to undetectable. The inflammation begins to gradually abate as oxygen is recirculated throughout the body, and even the lungs can heal to an extent based on the number of years you smoke. Statistics show us that after ten to fifteen years of quitting smoking, the risk of developing lung cancer will be the same as that of a person who has never smoked.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO STOP!
We know the dangers of modern cigarettes and we know what we risk by continuing to poison ourselves. There is now a real alternative to detoxification with the e-cigarette. It's never too late and by quitting now, you have every chance of regaining a healthy life.
