The smoker's organism lives
in an eternal state of conflict, or rather, of inflammation. Not least, smokers
suffer from three to five times more heart problems than subjects who do not
have the addiction. For a start, nicotine narrows veins and arteries.
“Cigarettes contain a
multitude of other components that damage the endothelium, the inner lining of
the vessels,” details cardiologist Abrão José Cury Junior, from Hospital do
Coração, in São Paulo. These injuries in the tubes that carry the blood are the
perfect place for the fat to settle and start the formation of plaques and
thrombi. Not to mention that tobacco hinders the action of the drugs used in
the management of pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose ... "Smoking is a
kind of antidote against medications, which is very dangerous", compares
Cury.
What to do?
It is never too late to
give up addiction. Family members, support groups and medical treatment are
valuable weapons to overcome smoking.
Far beyond tobacco
All types of smoking are
harmful to the chest. This goes for the electronic versions, the cigar, the
pipe and the hookah (a pipe with water typical of the East that has become
fashionable among young people). Cigarettes, due to their popularity, end up
being the subject of many of the tests. Therefore, their malevolent actions are
described more often.
