Introduction: According to a design study in my country, it was found that the mortality and incidence of lung cancer rank first, and lung cancer is a malignant disease, among which more than 90% of lung cancer patients are old smokers. We can see that long-term smoking is likely to cause lung cancer.
There are some problems that bother many people, especially for some old smokers. That is, among the 100 smokers, how many people will suffer from lung cancer due to smoking? Is 1%, 50%, or 80%?
3 degrees of lung blackening
stage:
radioactive substance will show a dot-like distribution, We all know that the normal lung color is pink and moist and soft.
When the impact of smoking on the lungs enters the first stage, dense protruding spots will appear in the lungs, just like black sesame seeds. If you touch it with your hands, you can feel rough.
Stage 2
When the impact of smoking on the lungs enters the second stage, it will become more serious at this time. At this time, the lungs have become stained with ink, and if touched, will also drop some black powdery substances, and at this time the lungs have almost basically turned black.
Stage 3:
Stage 3 is the most serious stage. At this time, the lungs have been completely carbonized. Not only has the lungs lost, but the original recognition has also lost the original function of the lungs. even induces some serious diseases.
100 smokers, how many people suffer from lung cancer due to smoking? Perhaps the answer is different from what you think.
As early as 2004, the famous magazine "British Journal of Cancer" published a related study on the relationship between the frequency of smoking , the incidence of lung cancer and the mortality rate of lung cancer.
The results of this study show that , people who smoke for a long time, can have a risk of lung cancer of 16%, which is 50 times that of non-smoking people.
People who smoke more than 5 cigarettes a day will have a probability of dying from lung cancer at the age of 75.
If this unit is converted into 100 people, then among every 100 smokers who smoke more than 5 times a day, 25 will die of lung cancer at the age of 75.
But here I would like to remind everyone about . This is just a person who simply dies from lung cancer. Smoking will not only cause lung cancer problems, but also easily cause various serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems.
In addition to inducing lung cancer, smoking can also induce many problems
cause cardiovascular disease
Relevant data research has proved that smokers have significantly higher risks of hypertension , coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases than those who do not smoke.
This is precisely because smoking can easily lead to dysfunction of the blood vessels. Under the stimulation of cigarettes, blood vessels are prone to abnormal contraction, and will easily lead to increased blood pressure at this time.
induced a variety of cancers
Related studies have shown that in addition to the easy cause of lung cancer problems, can also easily induce a variety of cancers, such as esophageal cancer, oral cancer, liver cancer , cervical cancer , etc.
causes osteoporosis
This is because nicotine in cigarettes will easily inhibit the absorption of calcium element . inhibits the absorption of calcium for a long time, which will cause some bone calcium to be diluted into the blood.
Under this problem, the body maintains a normal blood calcium balance, but bone density will also decrease, will easily cause the problem of osteoporosis .
induced Alzheimer's disease
smoking for a long time, and some harmful substances in the smoke will cause the brain tissue to shrink, which will easily cause the body's thinking ability and memory to decrease. At this time, the elderly will be prone to Alzheimer's disease, that is, Alzheimer's disease.
Why is it okay for someone to smoke cigarettes all their lives?
There is relevant scientific evidence that one in every two smokers dies from smoking-related disease , and the average life expectancy of smokers is about 10 years shorter than that of non-smokers.
Perhaps everyone sees that people who have been smoking for a lifetime are just survivors, And those who die prematurely due to smoking have become silent data.
The problems brought about by smoking take years or even decades to slowly emerge, and have a certain lag. makes people easily underestimate the harm of smoking to the body.
and once you have smoking-related problems, most of these diseases are incurable, and they may even bring irreversible problems, making people prone to underestimating the harm of tobacco. and once you have smoking related diseases, these diseases will seriously affect people's lives.
How old is it to quit smoking? A related research team in Canada once conducted a follow-up survey on 200,000 smokers. The final results of showed that the excellent age for quitting smoking is 35 years old.
This means that the respiratory and immune system that are damaged by quitting smoking before the age of 35 will gradually improve, which can reduce by about 95%. The damage caused by smoking will eventually return to normal body organs.
. People who smoked before the age of 35 have gradually declined because of the various organs and tissue functions of the body, and problems such as the digestive and respiratory system have also been damaged to varying degrees. These organs damaged by gunpowder smoke are difficult to recover themselves, and their physical condition will become worse and worse. Therefore, it is better to quit smoking as soon as possible.
But this does not mean that you can’t quit smoking after the age of 35. According to relevant surveys, if you quit smoking before the age of 50, you can effectively save about 8 years of life. If quit smoking before the age of 60, you can save about 5 years of life, so as long as you want to quit smoking, it will never be too late.
Why is lung cancer discovered in advanced stage?
Because people's lungs are very fragile organs, when some tiny lesions appear , especially lesions within one centimeter, the lungs do not feel much.
If the site of lung cancer occurs is the parenchymal part of the lung away from the bronchial and lung pleura, will generally appear when the tumor metastasis or local compression occurs.
so this also leads to people ignore some symptoms in the lungs, and will eventually lead to advanced problems when patients find lung cancer.
Reading extension: What is the cure rate of surgery for patients with lung cancer in each stage?
1, early stage lung cancer
patients after timely treatment can bring very good pre-sales, and the general 5-year survival rate can reach 100%;
2, stage I lung cancer
Early lung cancer patients have the possibility of complete cure through surgery; 5-year survival rates of patients with stage II lung cancer
Illa and stage 11b lung cancer patients were 42% and 24%, respectively, and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 24% and 9%, respectively.
Conclusion: In short, smoking is harmful to the body without any rupture. I hope everyone will not be lucky. For the sake of personal health, it is better to quit cigarettes early and maintain good living and eating habits. I wonder if you are planning to quit cigarettes after reading this article?
