World No Tobacco Day is May 31st every year. In November 1987, the World Health Organization proposed at the 6th International Conference on Smoking and Health held in Tokyo, Japan that April 7th of each year should be designated as World No Tobacco Day and has been implemented since 1988. But since 1989, the World No Tobacco Day has been changed to May 31 every year, because the next day is International Children’s Day, hoping that the next generation will be free from the harm of tobacco.

• Smoking and Disease•

avSecond, the harm of smoking is greater than the “three highs”

Cigarettes contain dozens of harmful substances. After being inhaled into the human body, some will be deposited in the lungs, and some will penetrate the alveoli and enter the blood circulation. These harmful substances will cause chronic damage to the vascular endothelium, so that cholesterol in the blood enters the vascular endothelium through these damages, forming atherosclerotic plaques.

As plaque progresses, blood vessels become narrower, affecting the blood supply to organs. If the plaque ruptures, it activates platelets to aggregate to form a thrombus. So smoking, like the “three highs”, can damage the vascular endothelium and is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Moreover, the harmful substances in cigarettes are also highly carcinogenic, so the harm of smoking is greater than the “three highs”.

Third, smoking can induce acute accidental events

acute cardiac events The main cause of infarction and cerebral infarction originates from the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. However, sclerotic plaques are not so easy to rupture. For example, many people with coronary heart disease have atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries surrounding the heart, but the heart beats 100,000 times a day, and the sclerotic plaques will not rupture. Only when the coronary arteries undergo severe spasm, a huge shear force will be formed, causing the plaque to rupture.

Tobacco contains harmful substances such as nicotine and tar, which can directly stimulate arteries and cause spasms. Intense and persistent spasm can directly occlude blood vessels, and coronary spasm for more than 15 minutes can induce myocardial infarction even without rupture of the sclerotic plaque. Arterial spasms caused by smoking are even more dangerous than drastic fluctuations in blood pressure.

• Benefits of quitting smoking•

According to the survey of the World Health Organization, smokers have the risk of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease. , 3.5 times higher than that of non-smokers. When an acute vascular event occurs, the mortality rate of smokers is 6 times that of non-smokers. If smoking high-risk patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases quit smoking, the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality rate can be reduced by nearly 50% %.Therefore, when people at risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases change their lifestyle, the most important thing is to quit smoking, not only do not smoke, but also stay away from second-hand smoke.
