Smoking is undoubtedly harmful to the body with no benefits. Generally speaking, whether smokers or non-smokers, they all know the damage that nicotine and tar in cigarettes can cause to human health. However, most people overlook the cigarette filter, which poses serious hygiene risks during the smoking process. According to surveys, when cigarettes burn, hundreds of harmful chemicals such as tar and nitrosamines are produced in the smoke.
The cigarette filter is made by tobacco manufacturers in order to retain their market share. They believe that this can prevent harmful chemicals from entering the body. However, the cigarette filter only serves as a smokescreen. Its filtering effect is very limited, and on the contrary, it becomes a source of various infectious diseases.
This is because the material of the cigarette filter is cellulose acetate. During the smoking process, especially when smokers flick the cigarette or touch the filter with their tongues, many small fibers will detach from the filter. And these fibers will be inhaled into the respiratory tract with the hot smoke and eventually reach the smokers' lung tissue.
When smokers are unaware, danger is approaching step by step: when they smoke, the fiber material from the cigarette filter will roll up like a snail shell, neither decomposing nor being absorbed by the human body. They will permanently stay in the lung tissue and eventually lead to cancer, becoming the core of cancer cell aggregation.
For smokers, they should wash their hands before smoking to avoid the filter "filtering" their health, but it is best to smoke less. In addition, smoking is also an important way for diseases to enter the body through the mouth. The sponge head of the cigarette that has been directly touched by fingers becomes a carrier of bacterial dirt. When smokers pass the cigarette to each other during social interactions, it naturally provides a convenient pathway for cross-infection of diseases. Friendly reminder: fish meat contains essential amino acids that can prevent arteriosclerosis, which can weaken the harm caused by smoking and reduce the chances of smokers dying from heart disease and stroke. However, do not consider fish meat as a "cure" for smoking. The best way to avoid the harm of smoking is still to quit smoking.
