Beware of "synergy" in tobacco and alcohol

Beware of "synergy" in tobacco and alcohol

Some people always like to smoke while drinking, it seems that this will look more fashionable. In fact, this is a bad habit that is more harmful to health than drinking or smoking alone.

As we all know, cigarettes are completely a harmful poison, and wine is a beverage that must be strictly controlled. There are thousands of chemical substances contained in cigarettes, including a large number of harmful substances contained in more than 50 kinds of carcinogens, these substances are covered by tar burned after the cigarette butts, and stored in the mouth, nose, throat and lungs. When a smoker breathes in a cigarette and drinks a drink, it will flush the tar from the mouth and throat. Although alcohol is not itself a carcinogen, it is an organic solvent that dissolves carcinogens and other harmful substances in cigarettes, making them easily diffused into the blood through the mucosal layer. The "chemical factory" of the liver metabolizes 95% of the absorbed alcohol and turns it into other chemicals. This increases the burden on the liver and reduces the metabolic function of the liver, causing the liver to lose its function of removing fat from the blood. The lipid material will plug capillaries, making it difficult for blood cells carrying nutrients and oxygen to reach all parts of the body. In addition, while drinking alcohol while smoking, the carbon monoxide in the smoke is combined with the hemoglobin in the blood (more than 200 times more binding of carbon monoxide and hemoglobin than oxygen and hemoglobin), which severely impairs the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen. . The "two-pronged approach" of tobacco and alcohol produces a synergistic effect. Addition of these two harms will obviously lead to the lack of oxygen in the blood. When a person smokes and drinks a lot at the same time, it will cause serious damage to their cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Individuals with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tobacco and alcohol "peer", but also easy to induce myocardial infarction and hypertension, some individuals will cause serious consequences of brain cell death.

Therefore, for health, please do not use alcohol and tobacco.
