If you were offered to take arsenic every day and a few dozen more toxic substances that have the ability to accumulate in the body, what would you say? Millions of people on our planet not only agree to this dubious offer, but also generously pay for the "service" provided! Meanwhile, science has long known all about the dangers of smoking. This has been proven and confirmed. Why do so many men and women turn a deaf ear to the arguments against smoking and kill themselves?
What do we mean by a carcinogen in tobacco smoke? Is it a source of cancer development? Studies on this topic have reliably proven the effect of smoking on the development of cancer of the lungs, larynx, and lips. The harmfulness of smoking increases with each generation as cigarette manufacturers use more and more additives in their manufacture. According to statistics, cigars and pipes do less harm to smokers than cigarettes. And it's not even about the price, but about the production technology. Tobacco smoke of cigarettes and cigarettes has a slightly acidic reaction and lingers on the bronchi by 90%. So, the indisputable fact is that arsenic is a carcinogen in tobacco smoke. Inhaling it for a long time, you can get lung cancer. This is due to the fact that it accumulates on the mucous membranes of the bronchi and causes the appearance of tumors. Analyzes of tissues of cancerous tumors in smokers show a high content of this substance. So there is a gradual poisoning of the body. The good news is that a person who quit smoking can recover the bronchial mucosa.
Another carcinogen in tobacco smoke is radioactive polonium 210. It is considered the most dangerous of all, since one gram of the substance is enough to kill a person. The alpha rays of polonium attack the internal organs, which cease to provide the body. It is believed that in small doses, but with a constant intake of polonium, it causes cancer. The disease, rapidly developing, leads to death. In addition to polonium, tobacco smoke contains a number of other radioactive substances, for example, radium 226 and 228. Data on this was obtained 40 years ago, but they were not made public for a long time. Many smokers still say that these are horror stories to get them to quit smoking. And official figures are relentless: 6% of annual deaths in the world are due to smoking.
Arguments from smokers and manufacturers about negligible amounts of the listed substances are overridden by the facts of their diversity. Scientists have investigated various elements, but there has not yet been an attemptconsider their combined effect on the body.
Carcinogenic substance in tobacco smoke is also benzopyrene, which has the highest carcinogenic activity. Its influence on the cells of the body consists in their restructuring, after which they begin to work against a person. Together, all of the above and many other elements of tobacco smoke are dangerous to life and he alth. It is worth thinking about these facts. We will all die, of course, but dying of cancer, in terrible agony, knowing that you earned it yourself…
