Much is known about the harmful effects of tobacco, and more and more people are thinking about quitting smoking. Also, I have been asked many questions about whether it is better for health to switch to heat-not-burn tobacco than cigarettes. This time, I will explain how smoking has harmful effects on the body and whether heat-not-burn tobacco is safe.● Hazardous substances in cigarette smokeVarious harmful substances are contained in the smoke generated by igniting cigarettes. Especially among themI will explain three known harmful substances.The first is nicotine. No one knows it as an ingredient in tobacco. This substance is the substance that causes tobacco to become unstoppable. There is a nicotine receptor in the brain, and when nicotine binds to this receptor, dopamine is secreted. It creates pleasure and forms dependence. Nicotines effects are not limited to addiction. The important action that causes the body is vasoconstriction. When blood vessels constrict, changes such as poor blood flow to organs and increased blood pressure occur. It also increases the risk of myocardial infarction and arteriosclerosis.Next is tar. Tobacco smoke contains a large amount of combustion by-products generated by incomplete combustion, and the particulate matter excluding carbon monoxide and gas components is called tar. This tar contains many harmful substances and is known to be carcinogenic. Also, as some of you may have seen the blackened lungs after smoking cigarettes, it is also a substance that causes the lungs to turn black. The more you smoke, the more tar is deposited in your lungs, impairing your lung function.The third is carbon monoxide. When carbon monoxide meets oxygen, it combines into carbon dioxide. When a large amount of this carbon monoxide enters the body, it deprives the body of oxygen, resulting in a state of oxygen deficiency. This can lead to shortness of breath, decreased athletic performance, and difficulty breathing. Long-term effects include increased risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.● Diseases that are more susceptible to tobaccoWhen you inhale cigarette smoke, it passes through your mouth and throat, and much of the smoke enters the airways and reaches your lungs.Some enter the esophagus. Tobacco smoke contains a large number of carcinogens, which increases the risk of various cancers such as oral cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, and lung cancer.The entry of harmful substances into the lungs causes inflammation of the airways, leading to diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis. In addition, when the structure of the lungs is destroyed by harmful substances, it causes emphysema, and when smoking for a long period of time, the structure of the lungs is greatly destroyed and the function of the lungs is greatly impaired.(Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) develops with high probability.When arteriosclerosis is caused by nicotine-induced vasoconstriction or high blood pressure, there is a risk of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and when gastric blood flow is reduced, gastric ulcer is caused. There is also a risk of periodontal disease due to the reduced blood flow around the teeth.In this way, smoking has a great effect not only on the lungs but also on various organs throughout the body. It is very important to quit smoking when these effects are as few as possible. It is also known that people who smoke for a long time will have the effect of quitting smoking, so it is not too late to quit smoking. If you are smoking, please consider quitting smoking.● Tobacco and periodontal disease (alveolar pyorrhea / shiso no low)There is a deep relationship between tobacco and gum (gum) disease (periodontal disease).People who smoke cigarettes are inevitably delayed in detecting periodontal disease. It causes blood vessels to constrict under the influence of nicotine, resulting in less bleeding when the gums are swollen or brushed. The discovery is delayed because there are no subjective symptoms.It also reduces resistance to bacteria and makes it easier for periodontal disease to progress. Plaque, which is a mass of bacteria due to the attachment of tobacco tarWill be easier to attach. Because it is sticky, it can cause not only periodontal disease but also tooth decay. Also, when it becomes tartar, you cannot remove the dirt just by brushing your teeth.We recommend that you visit a dentists office for scaling (cleaning your teeth).Difficulty in getting rid of fluid is also a cause of tooth decay and periodontal disease.● Is heat-not-burn tobacco all right?Some patients who have smoked have changed from cigarettes to heat-not-burn tobacco for their health, or want to know about the harmful effects of heat-not-burn tobacco.Heat-not-burn tobacco is a tobacco that produces aerosols (very fine particles and water vapor that float in the air) by heating instead of burning and producing smoke.Certainly, it is possible that heat-not-burn tobacco contains slightly less harmful substances when burned than cigarettes. However, there is no doubt that it still contains a large amount of harmful substances. It contains the same amount of nicotine as regular tobacco, and contains many harmful substances such as volatile formaldehyde. It has also been pointed out that when aerosols are generated by heating, the components may be decomposed to produce carcinogenic substances.Since it is only a short time since heat-not-burn tobacco came out, its harmfulness is not as scientifically clear as cigarettes. But that doesnt mean that heat-not-burn tobacco is safe. There is no doubt that it is harmful to the body, and there are many parts where it is not clear how it affects the body, so there may be unexpected harm. From the above points of view, it cannot be said that heat-not-burn tobacco is safer than cigarettes, and it is better not to smoke either tobacco.● SummaryThis time, I explained the harmful effects of tobacco.Tobacco contains various substances and affects many organs other than the lungs.There is no guarantee that heat-not-burn tobacco is safe, and smoking cessation is still the most effective way to avoid the harm of tobacco.Enter 6 items related to tobacco and analyze 19 items.
