Everyone has heard about the dangers of smoking. But, nevertheless, smokers become more and more every year. They do not think at all about how destructive it is for the body, because a huge amount of hazardous substances are part of a cigarette.
It is very sad that this addiction also captures adolescents. And often they are not even aware of the consequences.
What is a part of a cigarette? It consists not only of tobacco, as many naively believe. Yes, of course, it is he who is the main substance, but not the only one. Tobacco belongs to the nightshade family. It exists about 40 species, it is widespread in tropical America. It is known that in ancient times for the use of tobacco was severely punished and tortured. Some were even executed. And all this is because when smoked, substances that are very unhealthy for health, such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen, nicotine, acetic acid, enter the body.
Nicotine, which is part of a cigarette, has a detrimental effect on all internal organs of a smoker. In the course of the experiments, it was found that only two drops of toxic nicotine are enough to poison the dog, half a drop to kill the rabbit. You can also get nicotine poisoning with a person, and the following symptoms occur: headache, chest pain, rapid heart rate and heart rate, dizziness, vomiting, and nausea.
In addition, the composition of the cigarette includes tar, cadmium, arsenic, benzapyrene, nickel, acetone and even hydrocyanic acid. Scary to imagine, right? All these poisons enter the body of a smoker almost constantly.
Arsenic is an extremely toxic chemical element. Previously, mice and rats were killed with it. A person can easily be poisoned by this substance.
Cadmium tends to accumulate in organs of the human body such as the kidneys. Man receives this heavy metal only through cigarettes. During pregnancy, cadmium has a detrimental effect on the growing fetus, and can provoke premature birth.
Nickel is a substance that causes cancer and asthma.
Hydrocyanic acid is also used against rodents, and besides, it is very dangerous for humans.
Here is such a rich composition. Tobacco in cigarettes, as you see, is not enough. For the most part, they are composed of extremely harmful elements. In general, no one can know exactly what is included in the cigarette that he smokes. Firms producing and distributing tobacco products will never reveal their secrets. And you will continue to smoke and inhale deadly poisons, naively believing that cigarettes are not so harmful. Tobacco is harmful, but not enough to give up addiction - many people think so. And they are very mistaken. What their manufacturers just do not add to the composition of the cigarette in order to minimize costs and increase business profitability.
Quitting smoking is real and possible. Yes, it will take a lot of effort, but the result is worth it. You must clearly understand that you can’t buy health for any money, and an organism ruined by cigarettes will never be healthy.
