Recently, Tiktok social media users are hand-in-hand clips of cigarette smoke under a microscope to clearly see the level of toxicity. Accordingly, the person who made the plastic bottle for fresh water used up poured filtered water near the bottle and covered it. On the lid of this bottle will be punched a hole so that it fits the smoking head. They set the cigarette on fire and put all the smoke through the bottle. Then tobacco smoke will pass through the filter.

As a result, removing the filter plate is obtained filter plate imbued with tobacco essential oil. “This essential oil contains a lot of toxic substances such as lead, arsenic, ammonia, cyanide – which is the main cause of lung cancer, sudden infant death syndrome and many other diseases.”

In front of the clip of cigarette smoke under a microscope, many people left comments expressing awe even though the harm of tobacco has so far been greatly mentioned. One account commented: “This is just a cigarette and the filter is so golden, it is not understood to those who one day smoke 1 sack, 2 bags, what their lungs will be like.”. Many others expressed their horror, their desire to see e-cigarettes…

How dangerous is smoking really?

As noted by the World Health Organization, tobacco is the main cause of deaths worldwide, and is the leading cause of disease that can actually be prevented. Every year, tobacco lives nearly 8 million people around the world, including more than 5 million who have been and are smoking, 1 million of them innocent – they are passive smokers.

Prof. Luong Ngoc Khue (Director General of The Medical Examination and Treatment Management Department, Ministry of Health, as well as Director of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund) shared that Vietnam has 33 million people who do not smoke but regularly inhale smoke at home and more than 5 million non-smoking adults regularly inhale smoke in the workplace. These figures are enough to show how dangerous the horrific harm of passive smoking is.

The percentage of patients with lung cancer who smoke is 96.8%. Diseases and premature death from tobacco use account for 12% of the total burden of disease in Vietnam.

Tobacco is the main cause of deaths worldwide, and is the leading cause of disease that can actually be prevented.

Diseases directly caused by tobacco use such as stroke, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer are the leading causes of death in both men and women. Tobacco causes 25 different diseases but in general, tobacco causes 90% of lung cancer cases, 75% of chronic obstructive pulmonary cases and 25% of isotonic heart disease cases.

Speaking about the harmful effects of tobacco, Former Minister of Health Nguyen Thi Kim Tien cited that 90% of the more than 600,000 people with lung cancer annually in the world are smokers. Smoking is also the cause of 75% of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Obviously, smoking is very harmful to health. But it is worth mentioning here that smoking not only harms the person who directly smokes, but is also dangerous for those who do not smoke but accidentally have to inhale the smoke released by others. In particular, there are cases where the victims are extremely tragic women and children. They may be wives, children of smokers so that when the heartbreak happens, the husband, the father, even regrets, can not be saved.

Children who inhale tobacco smoke (passive smoking) are subjected to

the most severe consequences

According to information from the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund (Ministry of Health), globally, it is estimated that every year up to 165,000 children die before the age of 5 from lower respiratory tract infections caused by passive smoking.

It is estimated that up to 165,000 children die before the age of 5 from lower respiratory tract infections caused by passive smoking.

Representatives of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund said that children who smoke passive cigarettes are at risk of developing asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, respiratory infections … In addition, children who inhale second-line smoke may suffer health consequences in adulthood such as an increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to frequent lower respiratory tract infections. Babies exposed to toxins in smoke from the time they are in the womb will experience delayed development of lung function.

Ass. Dr. Nguyen Tien Dung (former Head of Pediatrics Department, Hospital Bach Mai) added that there is a fact that children admitted to hospital due to respiratory diseases with parents smoking cigarettes are much higher than children whose parents do not have this behavior.

“Young children are the most affected when there are smokers in the house.”, the expert asserts.

He voiced a profound warning to children with parents who smoke cigarettes the increased risk of sudden infant death, an increased risk of children with acute asthma and asthma. When you smoke, your smoking smoke increases the risk of asthma exacerbated, increasing the risk of chronic otitis in children. If you smoke, that risk doubles. If both parents smoke together, the risk increases even more.

Pregnant women who inhale tobacco smoke face a range of risks

Tobacco smoke contains up to 7,000 types of chemicals. Among these, there are more than 70 types of chemicals that are toxic to humans, leading to cancers, with typical ingredients such as nicotine, carbon monoxide, cyanide, lead … If the mother actively or actively inhales tobacco smoke, these toxic substances can follow the blood and transmit it to the fetus.

For pregnant women, passive smoking can cause still life and miscarriage. When pregnant women inhale tobacco smoke, nicotine and other toxic substances will pass through the lungs into your bloodstream and go directly to the baby. This can cause risks such as fetal developmental delay, increased risk of premature birth, causing brain and lung damage to the fetus, increasing the risk of still life…

It is worth mentioning that pregnant women often have weaker-than-normal resistance. Whether accidentally or intentionally exposed to tobacco smoke causes serious effects on the mother and fetus, which can lead to thyroid problems, premature amniotic rupture.

Therefore, preventing the effects of tobacco smoke on pregnant mothers is necessary to protect the health of both the mother and the fetus. Pregnant women should avoid going to crowded places as well as family members also actively eliminate smoke when there are pregnant women.
