Wang Yuelun, how can you let your children smoke secondhand smoke?

Abstract: Second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke are more harmful than smoking.

Mom, does anyone in your family smoke? Will you stop your family and friends from smoking in front of your children?

Although many parents know that smoking is harmful to health, and second-hand smoke is more harmful to the health of family and children, it is difficult to create a smoke-free environment for children. In life, we often see:

Grandpa/Dad holds the baby in one hand and a cigarette in the other. .....

Relatives and friends came to visit, chatted for a few words and began to light cigarettes. ........

Mothers must have advised them, but usually no one cares. Even though smoking bans have been issued everywhere, they can't be stopped. People who want to smoke in elevators, shopping malls, restaurants and homes ... they must smoke when they arrive.

Two days ago, Wang Yuelun took her daughter and her family to dinner. It was a warm time for family reunion, but Wang Yuelun was photographed smoking in an indoor restaurant, which caused controversy.

When "Where's Dad?" After being broadcast, Wang Yuelun was praised as a "good father of the people". In life, Wang Yuelun is indeed a good father, giving his children enough company.

He will do his best to accompany his daughter to grow up, draw with his children and learn piano. He said: parents can be so close to their children for only a few years, so they must accompany her wholeheartedly!

But this time, Wang Yuelun was photographed by the media smoking in front of her daughter, which also caused netizens to vomit: This is a good father who set up a rollover.

In the photo, Wang Yuelun, wearing black-rimmed glasses and casual clothes, found himself being photographed at will, neither stopping shooting nor extinguishing his cigarette.

Wang Yuelun is sitting next to her daughter Wang Shiling. Obviously, she is used to her father smoking. She has been playing with her mobile phone.

Smoking in public places was exposed, and many netizens talked about it. Some people say: eat your own food, mind other people's business and mind your own business. Didn't your father smoke in front of you?

It is true that we don't interfere in other people's private affairs, but indoor smoking affects more than just individuals. As public figures, we really should restrain ourselves. If we want to smoke, we can let our children smoke outdoors or in the smoking area. It is not difficult to do this.

As many netizens said, indoor smoking is illegal in Beijing, and it is in front of children. . .

"It's really bad to smoke indoors and let your daughter smoke secondhand smoke. Going out to smoke more cigarettes is good for children and people around them. Sometimes with children, I really hate asking about the smoke in the elevator, and I am even more disgusted with asking about the smoke in the hotel mall. "

Many people think that smoking is a very daily thing, harmless and harmless to others, but in fact, second-hand smoke is more harmful to people's health, especially children.

Do you know how much second-hand smoke will affect children?

A father sent a confession letter for this. He said, "If I had known the baby would be in such pain, I would never smoke!" " "

The father's son (Xiao Ran) suffered from cough and asthma many times in the seven years after his birth, which exhausted the whole family. It took him a long time to find out that the child suffered so much because he smoked for many years.

When Xiao Ran 1 year-old, he got a "cold", but his father thought it was a common cold, because Xiao Ran didn't have a fever. But a few days later, Xiao Ran didn't get better, but his cough became more and more serious, and he even began to gasp, and sometimes his lips turned purple. However, his father thought the situation was wrong and took Xiao Ran to the hospital.

The doctor rescued Xiao, and then he was diagnosed with asthma. This diagnosis cast a thick fog over the originally happy family, but the nightmare of Dad's family began.

In the next seven years, Xiao Ran will have asthma once a month. Cough, repeated wheezing and dyspnea have become commonplace. More dangerously, once in Xiao Ran, I had a bad asthma. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor issued a critical notice, which made the whole family on the verge of collapse.

However, dad is engaged in medical work. He knows how serious childhood asthma is. It will recur and lead to suffocation and death. This fear hangs over children every day when they are ill.

Fortunately, all these years have been near misses, and Xiao Ran has grown up gradually. However, asthma has cost children a lot and made this family suffer a lot. As long as he runs a little, he will breathe, and he has lost many opportunities to participate in the game. Childhood is not that interesting to him. Children's physical quality is not high, and their personality becomes somewhat inferior and closed.

However, my father has been looking for the cause of asthma in Xiao Ran and went to many hospitals. Knowing the result, he fell into deep remorse.

Because of many latest research papers and a lot of scientific research, it is confirmed that the main cause and allergic source of allergic asthma in children is secondhand smoke!

When Xiao Ran was a child, his whole family lived with his grandparents and uncles. They all smoked, but his father smoked a few cigarettes from time to time, and the house was always full of smoke. However, the improvement of Xiao Ran's asthma didn't appear until he moved out of the old house after attending primary school, and the incidence rate was obviously reduced.

It turns out that these second-hand smoke and even third-hand smoke are the chief culprits of childhood asthma.

Let's talk about what secondhand smoke is.

Secondhand smoke is a passive smoking method, which is involuntary smoking and environmental tobacco smoke, that is, the substances released with the smoke when tobacco is lit indoors. Passive smoking for more than 15 minutes can be considered as secondhand smoke.

Studies have pointed out that second-hand smoke contains more than 4,000 harmful chemicals such as tar, ammonia, nicotine, suspended particles, PM2.5, polonium -2 10 and at least 70 carcinogens, which is the most extensive and serious indoor air pollution in the world and the main cause of death.

To talk about the harm of second-hand smoke, we must first understand the composition of second-hand smoke, which consists of two kinds of cigarettes:

One is the smoke exhaled by smokers, which is called mainstream smoke.

One is the smoke produced when cigarettes burn, which is called split smoke.

Many people think that direct smoking is harmless, but the harm of smoking is really not just "doing things alone", it will harm friends and family around you, and even second-hand smoke is more harmful than direct smoking.

When smoking, the harmful substances inhaled by smokers only account for one tenth of the total substances, and the rest are all discharged into the air and attached to solids such as clothes and furniture.

The content of some chemical components that are seriously harmful to human body in second-hand smoke is even higher than that in mainstream smoke. The following scientifically proven data are really shocking.

Carbon monoxide is five times that of mainstream smoke!

Nicotine is three times that of mainstream cigarettes!

Strong carcinogenic benzopyrene is four times that of mainstream smoke!

The content of nitrosamines, a strong carcinogen, is 50 times that of mainstream cigarettes!

We should pay attention to the harm of second-hand smoke and be alert to the harm of third-hand smoke.

Third-hand smoke refers to cigarette particles left in the air after cigarettes are extinguished. These particles will stay on the surfaces of smokers' hair, clothes, carpets, curtains, carpets and other household fabrics, as well as on floors and windows.

When children and babies crawl, play, touch and inhale particles on these polluted surfaces, they are also affected by toxins.

All parents should pay attention to: the negative effects of lighting a cigarette have a long way to go, and the harm of second-hand smoke can not disappear by stubbing out the cigarette end.

And because children's weight and height are relatively small, the same concentration of second-hand smoke will be more harmful to children. This is really not melodramatic, nor is it a fuss. The harm of second-hand smoke to children has long been conclusive.

Secondhand smoke containing 70 kinds of carcinogens will seriously endanger your baby's health.

According to the Hong Kong Department of Health, the additional risks of respiratory diseases caused by children who have never smoked secondhand smoke at home are:

① Nasal diseases increased by-17%.

② Throat problems increased by -35%.

③ Cough increased by -54%

④ Too much phlegm-44%.

⑤ Exacerbation of wheezing-12%

In addition, secondhand smoke has many other hazards and effects on children:

Secondhand smoke can cause asthma.

Secondhand smoke is the main cause and allergic source of allergic asthma in children. Secondhand smoke can also increase the attack frequency and symptom severity of asthmatic children. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that between 200,000 and 654.38 million asthmatic children have been exposed to secondhand smoke, and their conditions have deteriorated.

② Secondhand smoke can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

Statistics in the United States show that there are about 1900 2700 cases of sudden infant death syndrome every year, which is considered to be related to second-hand smoke.

③ Secondhand smoke can lead to mental retardation.

Harmful substances such as nicotine in smoke stimulate the brain, which will harden the cerebral vessels and affect brain function. Children who have been passively smoking for a long time have significantly worse intellectual development than those who grew up in a non-smoking environment. Children's long-term passive smoking will reduce their IQ by two points.

Because when nicotine is decomposed, it will produce a substance-cotinine. Once the cotinine content in children's blood increases, it will directly reduce their reading, mathematics, reasoning and other abilities.

(4) Secondhand smoke can cause many health problems.

Children in smoking families are more likely to get otitis media. Inhaled cigarette smoke irritates the eustachian tube, and subsequent swelling will lead to infection, which is the most common cause of hearing impairment in children. Children who regularly inhale secondhand smoke have slower lung development. Some studies have also found that secondhand smoke may be related to childhood leukemia, lymphoma and brain tumor.

Children are a vulnerable group, and they can't take the initiative to escape the harm caused by resisting adults. Don't let children's health be destroyed by second-hand smoke. This is our best care for them.

Secondhand smoke can affect children and pregnant women.

It should be emphasized that direct smoking by pregnant women has a great influence on the fetus. At the same time, pregnant mothers are exposed to second-hand smoke during pregnancy, and pregnant mothers and babies are also at risk.

① Low birth weight and premature delivery

Secondhand smoke is associated with premature delivery and low birth weight. Studies have found that pregnant women exposed to second-hand smoke will increase the risk of maternal inflammation, reduce placental weight and fetal growth restriction.

② Affect the development of fetal lung.

Smoking by pregnant mothers will damage fetal lung development, and exposure of mothers to second-hand smoke will also cause changes in fetal lung structure, including direct impact on alveolar development of fetal lung, because second-hand smoke may reduce fetal lung blood flow and increase vascular resistance.

③ Spontaneous abortion (abortion) and stillbirth

There are 19 studies abroad that show that the exposure of pregnant mothers to second-hand smoke is related to the increased risk of stillbirth. If pregnant mothers are often exposed to second-hand smoke during pregnancy, the probability of stillbirth will be much higher than that of pregnant women in smoke-free environment.

④ Birth defects

Studies have confirmed that the exposure of pregnant women to second-hand smoke is related to the increased risk of cleft lip and palate 1.5 times, which is similar to the increased risk of active smoking.

What I want to say to all parents is that secondhand smoke is not safe. As long as inhaled, it will affect both the child and the pregnant mother. The influence of second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke on children began in the fetal period.

How to prevent the baby from being hurt by secondhand smoke? The following points also apply to pregnant mothers and their families.

1. No one is allowed to smoke at home.

Secondhand smoke has no safe exposure level, that is to say, as long as secondhand smoke exists, it is harmful to both the baby and the pregnant mother. If possible, please ask your family to quit smoking.

Don't smoke in the car

Even if the child is not around you, remember that toxins will precipitate on the surface of objects.

3. Avoid exposing children to indoor space with secondhand smoke and third-hand smoke.

Such as restaurants, sports fields, friends' houses that smoke, etc. Choose a non-smoking restaurant and a non-smoking hotel room when traveling.

4. Keep a certain distance from smokers in outdoor space.

Outdoor air will dilute cigarette smoke, but if the wind blows in your direction, you and your children will still inhale air full of toxins, so keep a certain distance from smokers. When the children are older, tell them to stay away from second-hand smoke.

5. Don't hold the baby immediately after smoking.

If you want to smoke, please keep away from children. If you want to touch children after smoking, change clothes and wash your hands. Don't let children smoke secondhand smoke.

6. Stay away from second-hand smoke before pregnancy.

Women who have been exposed to secondhand smoke for 6 hours or more every day are 68% more likely to have difficulty conceiving and miscarriage than those who have not been exposed to secondhand smoke.

Finally, I want to say a word to all smokers: If you want to smoke, please stay away from children!
