introduce

Some people may say, what's wrong with smoking? Smoking is just a habit. Many great men have lived by smoking all their lives. You think it's true after listening to it too much, then you are stupid. You should look at the statistics about the harm of smoking, not those special cases. These real figures are closely related to your lung and heart diseases after smoking for many years.

The author has a very good metaphor: smoking is like putting on little shoes for yourself. When smoking, you just have to take off those little shoes and enjoy the feeling of relaxation: wow, it's good, it's comfortable, it's good to smoke. After smoking, the nicotine withdrawal reaction put those little shoes on you again. This is a typical self-inflicted, those little shoes are put on by themselves!

First, the harm of smoking

Smoking is not a trivial matter, its harm is numerous, but some people say that smoking is good, let's listen!

People who smoke are always young; Because smokers will get all kinds of cancers and die young.

Smokers are always safe at home; Because smokers cough until midnight, thieves will know that there is someone at home as soon as they hear it.

Of course, this is just a joke. There are countless books about the dangers of smoking. Although it is not written in this book, the author assumes that all smokers know it, but we still want to emphasize it to you again. There is an article that lists more than 40 kinds of hazards of/kloc-0. The most important thing is these questions:

Effects of smoking on respiratory system: tracheitis, pharyngitis, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis and even lung cancer.

2. Effects of smoking on cardiovascular system: palpitation, myocardial infarction, etc.

3. Effects of smoking on nervous system: memory loss, distraction, unresponsiveness, insomnia and dreaminess.

4. Effects of smoking on digestive system: ulcer disease.

5. Effects of smoking on reproductive health: male impotence, female abortion, stillbirth and sudden infant death;

China is a country with a large population and a large number of smokers, and it is the largest tobacco consumer and producer in the world. There are about 350 million smokers in China, accounting for13 of the total number of smokers in the world. Nearly 5 million people worldwide die of smoking-related diseases every year, of which 6.5438+0.2 million are from China. The World Health Organization predicts that 6,543.8 billion people in China will die prematurely because of smoking.

The smoking rate of women aged 0/5 to 24 in China/KLOC-is on the rise. In Shanghai, a key monitoring city, from 2002 to 2009, the smoking rate of women aged 20-39 rose from less than 2% to 7.2%, an increase of about three times in eight years. At present, the number of victims of passive smoking in China is as high as about 450 million, including children under 5 years old1.800 million. These figures are shocking.

Why is smoking bad? Look at the ingredients contained in cigarettes:

Smoking is so harmful, so what are the benefits after quitting smoking?

Quit smoking for 8 hours: the blood carbon monoxide level dropped to normal, and the blood oxygen level returned to normal;

Quit smoking for 24 hours: the probability of heart attack is reduced;

Quit smoking for 48 hours: nerve endings begin to regenerate, the sense of smell and taste are enhanced, and walking becomes easy;

Quit smoking for 2 weeks to 3 months: improve blood circulation and improve lung function by 30%;

Quit smoking 1-9 months: cough, nasal congestion, fatigue and asthma are relieved, respiratory cilia are regenerated, and the ability to clean the lungs and reduce infection is enhanced;

Quit smoking 1 year: the risk of coronary heart disease is reduced to half of that of smokers.

The figures are shocking, why smoking is so bad, but why some people just can't quit. Tobacco dependence is a chronic nicotine addiction disease because of addiction.

Second, why is smoking addictive?

There are two mechanisms of smoking addiction, one is psychological and the other is physiological. These are the two big poisonous insects you face when you quit smoking. The whole book is about how to fight these two poisonous insects. Let's first look at the physical nicotine addicts.

1, little poisonous insect-nicotine addiction

The essence of smoking addiction is nicotine addiction. Let's get to know nicotine, which is the culprit of smoking addiction, commonly known as nicotine. Nicotine has two characteristics:

First of all, it is the fastest addictive drug. Many people will become addicted to nicotine as long as they smoke a cigarette. When nicotine enters the body, 90% of nicotine is absorbed by the lungs, and 1/4 of it enters the brain within a few seconds, and the brain is activated to release a substance called dopamine, which can make the brain feel all kinds of pleasure. The response speed of tobacco stimulation is faster than that of intravenous heroin injection.

Second, the metabolism of nicotine is very fast. After smoking for half an hour, the nicotine content in the blood drops by 50%. It will drop to 25% in half an hour. With the decrease of nicotine in the body, the secretion level of dopamine will drop rapidly, and smokers will feel fidgety, uncomfortable, disgusting and eager to supplement nicotine. Once nicotine is obtained, dopamine is released quickly, and smokers feel happy again, forming a "reward cycle" of nicotine dependence in the brain.

Nicotine is not only a drug, but also a powerful toxin. If you inject nicotine from cigarettes into your veins, you will be finished immediately.

After lighting a cigarette, many people started smoking and enjoyed it very much. There is another saying: a cigarette after a meal is better than a living fairy. Actually, that's your dopamine asking for a reward. Non-smokers don't need it at all. They will feel comfortable and at ease after eating.

We humans have identified food and toxins in the long process of evolution. The recorded history of human smoking began with Columbus' discovery of the New World, and in China it began in the Wanli period. Humans don't smoke, so they naturally hate the smell of smoke. When you take the first cigarette, you will inevitably cough and feel sick.

Our bodies will tell you: Don't be silly, you treat toxins as food, stop it! Many people think that weak-willed people will become addicted to cigarettes. In fact, weak-willed people simply can't stand the smell of cigarettes. They are very lucky. On the contrary, those who have been engaged in stressful jobs for a long time, such as freelancers, executives, doctors, lawyers, police, media workers and salesmen, are more likely to smoke. The most powerful brainwashing power comes from smokers themselves. They are by no means weak-willed or physically weak. Only a strong body can resist the toxins in cigarettes.

Nicotine is undoubtedly one of the drugs, but fortunately nicotine is easier to quit than other drugs. All smokers should understand that you are particularly afraid of getting addicted to drugs. In fact, the nicotine you smoke is one of the drugs.

Quitting smoking is faced with nicotine withdrawal reaction, that is, the symptoms of irritability, anxiety, impatience, palpitation, inattention and so on caused by the sudden lack of nicotine in the body of quitters.

2. Big poisonous insect-psychological mechanism of smoking

Many smokers only know the little poisonous insect-nicotine addiction, but they don't know that the biggest challenge to quit smoking is the big poisonous insect, which is a double combination of social psychology and individual psychology.

The benefits of smoking we talked about at the beginning are all jokes, but some people do think that smoking is beneficial, such as the following reasons for smoking:

Smoking can relieve stress: some people want to smoke when they are nervous, and some people want to smoke a cigarette to relieve stress when they encounter problems. In fact, they can really relieve stress. But in fact, compared with non-smokers, smokers have suffered a certain degree of stress because of nicotine withdrawal reaction, and the stress level of smokers is higher than that of non-smokers.

With the deepening of smoking addiction, the will and courage of smokers are also quietly losing. The more so, the more I think that smoking helps to improve my will and courage, and helps to relieve my pressure, so that I can fall into addiction more deeply. Smoking not only poisons your body, but also destroys your will.

Smoking can cope with boredom: many people smoke because they are bored, so they just light a cigarette to cope with time. Actually, this is not right. Nicotine can cause drowsiness and make smokers less willing to do activities that require attention. So please remember that smoking can't relieve boredom, and smoking itself is a very boring thing.

Smoking can help you concentrate: many creative people are heavy smokers, and one of their reasons is that smoking can help them concentrate and make them creative. In fact, this is all because nicotine stimulates dopamine. When the cigarette goes out, the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal will reappear soon, forcing you to be distracted and smoke another cigarette. So it's actually cigarettes that cause your nicotine withdrawal symptoms, and the latter will distract you, give in to cigarettes at any time, and your concentration and creativity will decrease, so you have to smoke a cigarette to make your brain happy. Non-smokers have strong attention and creativity.

Smoking can make people relax: many people light a cigarette and feel relaxed and happy, thinking that smoking can help them relax. In fact, nicotine has an exciting effect, which will lead to a faster heart rate. People who don't relax easily in the world are heavy smokers. The deeper the addiction, the less likely it is to relax. Nicotine withdrawal will come to you at any time, and you will be irritable. After lighting a cigarette, it will be much better. There is a metaphor that a fly jumps on the venus flytrap to suck juice, but finally it is trapped by the venus flytrap and dies.

Smoking is a face-saving activity: there is a saying that "men don't smoke or drink, and life is not as good as a dog." This sentence may have been like this more than 50 years ago. Smoking is a social activity of men together, but with the propaganda of tobacco hazards in modern society, people are more and more contemptuous of smoking, and smoking has become an anti-social behavior. A man of status will never talk about smoking again. Think about the bad smell, yellow teeth, premature aging face, and give up the idea that smoking has face.

Self-deception of smokers' psychology: general smoking cessation propaganda is vigorously promoting the harm of smoking to the body, but smokers basically turn a deaf ear. This is because every smoker thinks I won't be so unlucky. My genes are good. I will stop smoking when I feel sick. There is no hurry now. Everyone looks around when crossing the street. In fact, the probability of a car accident is very low. The harm of smoking to human body is 100%, but smokers simply ignore it. Many smokers have no idea what a cough means to him. If smoking causes a cough, it means that foreign bodies are being removed from the lungs. You shouldn't suppress a cough, but you should take it as an alarm.

If I told you, you would get cancer if you lit this cigarette, and you wouldn't smoke if you were killed. But if you smoke one by one, the probability of getting cancer will be great, and you will smoke without fear. Humans are so tolerant of smoking that they always bury their heads in the sand and ignore the consequences. If you buy a brand-new and cool Ferrari, will you add 90 # gasoline with high impurities to it?

To sum up, quitting smoking faces the battle with two kinds of poisonous insects, among which physiological poisonous insects are relatively easy to overcome. 5-2 1 day, the withdrawal reaction of nicotine is gone. The most important thing is to cut off the psychological poison of smokers. Many people simply don't know that it is his subtle psychology that makes him suffer from smoking addiction all his life.

They know the harm of tobacco, but they don't think it's time to give up smoking. He wants to get some psychological pseudo-satisfaction by smoking, for example, smoking is a kind of enjoyment; Smoking can make me more creative; Smoking can help me pass the time; Smoking can help me relieve stress; Smoking has more face. These effects you think seem to exist, but they are all wrong. Nicotine withdrawal reduces your overall level, and you need to compensate by smoking.

The author is indifferent to these things, and he has two good ways to persuade them: first, let smokers compare with normal people; The second one is compared with when I don't smoke. You used to be a good man, but you were a heavy smoker and controlled by tobacco.
