Is it true that smoking kills? The relationship between smoking and mental disorders. Nicotine - general information

He went out onto the balcony of his chic country house. He took out a cigarette from the red pack "***". For a long time I was looking for a lighter in my pockets. There is nothing worse for a smoker than getting a cigarette but not finding a lighter. The irresistible desire of the body to absorb nicotine is faced with such a banal problem as getting fire. The most terrible task for a smoker is to find a cigarette when they are not. And when you find it, a terrible, but still childish joy wakes up in you, as if they gave you that ill-fated toy that you have been dreaming about and praying to God for several months now. He never found a lighter in his own pockets. Fortunately, on the balcony next to the ashtray filled with cigarette butts lay a box of matches. He took out the first one and struck it. The head of the match fell limply to the floor. Behind her is the next one, which also did not fire. The third, fourth, finally fifth, suddenly blazed with the long-awaited fire. He carefully, as a mother covers a child, brought her to a cigarette.
A few months ago, as the chief manager of a large international company, he signed a contract with one of the Chinese firms. It was a huge milestone in his line of work. Everyone cheered! The Chinese company, which was just entering the market of his country, was very promising. Profit growth for Last year amounted to about 75%, and this was just the beginning. The negotiations lasted three months. It was a difficult test for everyone. He, as the most promising manager, has personally led the Chinese for a year now. And now the cooperation agreement is signed. Almost everyone that day at a personal meeting with him came up and shook his hand and certainly said something like: “Nikita, I congratulate you! Well done! Thank you for this contract!
That day, he and his wife and fourteen-year-old daughter went to the best restaurant in the metropolis. Everything was solemn and decorous. He himself put on his favorite suit, in which he went only to the most key negotiations. He also ordered his daughter and mother to dress appropriately. A wonderful family full of enthusiasm and happiness sat at the table and did not deny themselves anything. They came home at about twelve o'clock. The weekend was ahead. When they got home, they put their daughter to bed. They themselves sat down in the kitchen and began to drink wine prepared especially for such an occasion. Merlot aged for several decades. He has always loved Merlot. At three o'clock, together with his wife, drunk went to bed. Sex that didn't happen that often between them in recent times nevertheless happened. A half-hour shaking, already aging bodies, gave its result. About her, without even thinking, in principle, as always, he lay down on left shoulder and fell asleep.
For the next couple of weeks, he was king at work. From time to time, strangers approached him, grabbed his hand and expressed their respect. He was very pleased. He has already started running a new firm from the Philippines. Everything was, as it could not be imagined in dreams. Everything was like that until a certain day. On July 24, a Chinese firm with which a multi-million dollar contract was signed, unexpectedly declared bankruptcy for everyone. Naturally, most of the investment has already been made. It was a shock not only for the most popular manager of recent times, but for the entire company. In a couple of days, he went from being a hero to being a nonentity. Everyone who did not even dare to dream of such contracts came to him and reproached him: “How did you not see Nikita that this whole campaign was just a scam? You set us all up! I don't even know if I can keep my job because of your miscalculations! Do you understand that our company is on the verge of bankruptcy? And all because of you! Thank you very much!!!"
That evening he came home drunk. Quarreled with his wife. Locked up in the kitchen. There he had dinner and Jack Daniels. He drank. Unfortunately, he saw no other way out. Foolish hope that arises in all drinking people that tomorrow everything will be different, and you will definitely find a way out of your problem. Although each of them is burned a thousand and once about this stupid thought, waking up in the morning with a sore head and absolute apathy for life. But still, this well-established credo warmed his drunken brain. He ended up not going to sleep. At six in the morning I ordered a taxi. Carefully, so as not to wake the family on this sunny Saturday morning, I left the apartment. He naturally took all the stocks of alcohol in the house, which left a couple of bottles of Jack Daniels and a bottle of Merlot. In the car, he drove silently, pointing out to the taxi driver the address of his country house. On the way, they stopped at a supermarket to buy ice, cheese and something else to eat. The car stopped a kilometer from his house. Then he went on foot, carrying packages with purchased products.
It was 9 am on the clock when he entered the house. I put the food in the fridge and poured myself a glass of whiskey. Sitting on a chair in the yard. I admired how the sun caresses the green leaves of trees with its rays. There was definitely something to it. Something more than that joy when he made a contract with the Chinese. There was something higher in this. Touch of God. In that excellent condition his eyes began to close. He realized that a night spent in bosom friendship with alcohol and stress makes itself felt. He got up and went into the house.
There he spread out his bed, and poured himself another glass of whiskey. I went out to the balcony to smoke before going to bed. He stepped out onto the balcony of his posh country house. He took out a cigarette from the red pack "***". For a long time I was looking for a lighter in my pockets. He never found a lighter in his own pockets. Fortunately, on the balcony next to the ashtray filled with cigarette butts lay a box of matches. He took out the first one and struck it. The head of the match fell limply to the floor. Behind her is the next one, which also did not fire. The third, fourth, finally fifth, suddenly blazed with the long-awaited fire. He carefully, as a mother covers a child, brought her to a cigarette. Pleasant smoke filled his lungs. Released it. In the sunlight, the smoke no longer seemed so sincerely white, it was more brown. The thought flashed through his head that tomorrow he should definitely try to quit smoking, because life is so beautiful than it can be described. He took another puff. His eyes turned white. In heart-rending agony, the body fell to the floor of the balcony.

His corpse was found only three days later, lying on the balcony, exhausted. own life and not an easy death. He had a cigarette bull in his mouth.

Smoking kills is a scientifically proven fact. According to statistics, the number of smokers is growing every year. And this despite the extensive campaign to abandon this bad habit. Smokers do not pay attention to the warnings of the Ministry of Health and the warnings of doctors, putting themselves at high risk.

However, it is worth thinking about the dangers of smoking as early as possible. To get rid of addiction, it is important to understand the biochemistry of the process. Anyone who smokes should definitely be aware of what happens in the body at the moment of puffing.

Tobacco smoke

Scientists have calculated that cigarette smoke contains several thousand chemicals, about 100 of them are the most dangerous carcinogens. The same number - deadly poisons like hydrocyanic acid, formaldehyde, arsenic and cyanide. Also found in tobacco smoke are radioactive compounds: lead, bismuth and polonium.

• 20 cigarettes daily is almost 500 x-rays of exposure per year;
• enough poisons and one pack of cigarettes to get a lethal dose for an adult;
• the temperature at the tip of a smoldering cigarette is up to 900 ° C;
• nicotine penetrates the brain within 10 seconds after the first puff and causes vascular spasm;
• The lungs of a person who smokes half a pack of cigarettes a day turn black in the second year of systematic smoking.

Due to vascular spasm, tissue oxygen supply is disrupted. It leads to increased risk early heart attacks and strokes. Violation of blood circulation affects the condition of the skin, teeth, hair and nails. Smokers are more likely to develop inflammatory diseases. Many people have visual impairments.

At the same time, nicotine belongs to the list of substances allowed for use. Nose scientific point nicotine is a drug that is several times more harmful than marijuana. Systematic smoking leads to the development drug addiction, and withdrawal on failure differs little from heroin. The insidiousness of cigarettes is that people do not notice the moment the addiction appears. Especially since smoking is legal. Awareness of one's mistake comes at the moment when the first diseases appear.

Statistical data

Russians alone smoke about 200 billion cigarettes a year. On average, there are 1,500 cigarettes per inhabitant of the country.

Diseases caused by smoking:

• lungs' cancer;
• cancer of the larynx and lips;
• bronchitis and asthma;
• obstructive pulmonary disease;
• coronary disease;
• ischemia.

About 90% of registered deaths from lung cancer are caused by smoking. Bronchitis and emphysema lead smokers to death in 75% of cases, and heart disease - in 25%. quarter off total number smokers die because of their bad habits. The average time for which smokers shorten their lives is 15 years.

Smokers are 12 times more likely to suffer from angina, 13 times more likely to get myocardial infarction. The probability of developing a stomach ulcer increases 10 times. Smoking harms the whole body. Toxic compounds from cigarette smoke affect the liver, kidneys, and endocrine glands. But the first to suffer are the most important organs: heart, brain and lungs.

The lethal dose of cigarettes is one pack smoked at once. Smokers have a significantly increased heart rate. At the same time, tissues still receive less oxygen and are in a state of hypoxia. Teenagers who try their first cigarette at 12-13 years old fall behind their peers in school. Largely because the work of the brain is deteriorating. Carbon monoxide from cigarettes takes the place of oxygen in red blood cells. Instead of the oxygen necessary to maintain biochemical processes, a toxic compound enters the cells. Tobacco use slowly but surely kills cells, the body weakens, and various diseases begin to appear.

Relationship between smoking and mental disorders

Scientists have long assumed that there is a link between cigarette addiction and the frequency of mental disorders. Recent studies have confirmed that smokers have a 40% increased risk of developing so-called borderline conditions - panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive, neurotic. Moreover, initially people with a more unstable psyche start smoking.

The researchers were also able to prove that in the presence of mental disorders, tobacco use leads to a worsening of the condition and complicates treatment.

Harm to others

Smoking harms others as much as the smoker himself. Annually from passive smoking up to 3 thousand people die. Heart disease is diagnosed in 60 thousand people.

The relationship between cigarettes and sudden infant death syndrome has been proven. At least 2,000 children die every year due to the carelessness of adults who smoke. Passive inhalation tobacco smoke harmful to pregnant women. The risk of miscarriage and the birth of a child with diseases of the heart and brain increases significantly. At least 6 components of cigarette smoke have been proven to adversely affect fertility.

Once upon a time, in bright Russia, during the reign of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, the people, seen for the first time “for friendship” with tobacco, received 60 blows with a stick in the footsteps, the second time it came to cutting off their nose or ears.

How much is left unsaid because of childhood addiction to smelly cigarette poison? Has Abdulov ever thought about quitting smoking? Or, like many other smokers, was he grateful to this carcinogenic stink because it allegedly helps him relieve stress, relax, and concentrate?

Did he think that the smell of death comes from him - the smell of tobacco poison?

People often imitate, write down in their subconscious programs of behavior of people they like. And in this sense, actors must be held accountable for their behavior. And above all, for their example, which they show to children and adolescents. There is a proverb “Children see - children do”. Surely those responsible for censorship in the USSR did not know about this, who allowed hundreds and thousands of children's films with episodes of smoking to be shown?! They knew, of course they did! But many of them were smokers themselves, they themselves inhaled burnt organic matter into their light pieces, they themselves were addicted!

Folk, honored and other, other, other! "Not knowing what they are doing", pretending to be a guru, the ultimate truth! They raised a generation of drug addicts, drug addicts, alcoholics, tobacco addicts!

Cartoon characters, both Soviet and modern Russian and Western, smoke. Heroes of serious works about the meaning of life smoke!

Yes, of course, in response we will immediately hear the crafty phrase of cultural workers: “we only show life as it is, and we are not to blame for the fact that every second person in this life smokes.” What you show is not the truth of life, gentlemen, it is half-truth! You see and display only what you have in your brains, clouded and corroded by tobacco smoke.

Show us normal, athletic people! show us strong in spirit heroes who ridicule and despise tobacco nipples! Show us geniuses, inventors, soldiers free from the obligation to smoke! Show us those people who quit smoking and carry the title former smokers with your head held high!

Unfortunately, tobacco addicts and smokers lose this ability and cannot enjoy life without cigarettes! So no, the bigwigs of art are tempted to show horror, pain, weak will! Maybe this happens because in their heads, in their souls there is no place for goodness, freedom, happiness?

Here are the great people against which the tobacco industry's murderous businessmen are waging their vile, covert war. That's who the officials-politicians who lobby for the interests of tobacco corporations are fighting against! Their life span is 50-60 years! And that makes it hard. And millions ordinary people after reading the new obituary, again think it's okay to live to 60! And they will take the next tuberculous nipple into their mouth, drink the next glass of vodka.

But life gives us the opportunity to live up to 80-100 years. And this is an opportunity to normally, quietly, calmly and without pain go to another world, simply dying of old age.

How many girls repeated this act after her during those inevitable moments of life when they had problems with their lovers?

Chained with a cigarette, he was forced to inhale tobacco smoke to sing, write poetry, compose music. Otherwise, he would not have been able to do what was available to his non-smoking colleagues. After all, the use of cigarettes takes away from people their abilities given from birth and returns them only to a short time after each act of self-poisoning until the moment of using the next tobacco stick!

Totally agree last year According to the Ministry of Health and Social Development, Russia's direct human losses from tobacco ranged from 330,000 to 500,000 people!..

Up to half a million people were destroyed without aviation, without bombs, without missiles ... Destroyed in the most vile way: at first, children were taught that swallowing carcinogenic smoke is an attractive occupation. After that, already for adults, that this occupation seems to be normal, blameless and even similar to some kind of game for the strong and independent. And then, especially for those who wanted to come to their senses, it was hammered into their heads that it was impossible in principle to get rid of this crappy method of gradual suicide ...

330 thousand people a year, at least ... The tobacco conveyor of death puts 6 people into coffins every minute ... Recently, the historian Jean-Claude Pressac found that during the entire Great War in the death camp - Auschwitz, about 800 thousand people were destroyed. (See "Duel", No. 28 (273) July 9, 2002). Eight hundred thousand people over 5 years of war is 160,000 people a year.

This means that tobacco dealers in Russia today are 2-3 times more effective than the fascist executioners in Auschwitz! Probably not in vain Hitler in 1942, in his book "My Struggle" wrote: "They, the Slavs (Russians) - no vaccinations, no hygiene, only vodka and tobacco!" A top Nazi would be glad to see how his doctrine is now put into practice. And, consequently, it is precisely Hitler's desires that are implanted in the minds of artists - and not only artists - but all those who allow themselves to show their shameful dependence in public places!

On July 16, 2007, smoking killed the People's Artist of Russia Mikhail Ivanovich Kononov (the films "Head of Chukotka", "There is no ford in the fire", "Andrei Rublev", "Hello and Farewell", "Taiga Tale", "Big Break", "At War like in a war). Too bad he was a good actor. How much more could you do. But the cigarette is reaping its bloody harvest whether we like it or not.

And here is what Lev Losev wrote about the poet, Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky, who was killed by cigarettes in 1996 at the age of 56: in full force, but also stayed up past midnight with friends, joked, drank and did not throw a damned smoke. Years earlier, Brodsky himself wrote in a humorous message to one of his friends: “I don’t know if there is Goncharova, but my cigarette is Dantes!” Cigarettes have done their vile deed no worse than pistols. Brodsky died ... "

On October 25, 2008, he died of circulatory disorders of the heart worldwide famous singer Muslim Magomayev, who in his interview with Izvestia stated: “If there was a second life, then the only thing I would change is that I would not smoke ...”

People's Artist of Russia Govorukhin S.S. still lives and smokes, diligently showing by his personal example that smoking is normal.

People's Artist of Russia M.S. is alive and smoking. Boyarsky, who repeatedly voiced his vile position: “... despite the prohibitions, I will still smoke everywhere, always, where it is possible and where it is impossible!..”

You can't go where the kids are! You can't go where the sick are. It is impossible where there are morally healthy, normal people. But without five minutes, the “great artist”, bent from a cancerous nipple, doesn’t care where it’s impossible for us here - he would quickly satisfy his shameful, drug addict passion, satisfy his perverted desire to swallow smoke, and spoil other people’s clean air around. And he doesn’t give a damn about those people who will be cut off by rotting legs and arms, he doesn’t give a damn that they will be very hurt and scared, they who once foolishly took an example from their beloved D’Artagnan and started smoking ...

Instead of showing other people by example how to get rid of addiction, become a free man, quit smoking, he asserts himself, proving to himself that he has the right to spoil the air in any place, just because he deserves it.

Yes, smoking in itself does not kill, as they say on cigarette packs. From time immemorial, smoking has been a kind of shamanic practice to bring one's own and others' psyches into a certain state. But shamans rarely smoked and only on business. Most often, these were good deeds, for which shamans sacrificed their health, and then abstained from the use of psychotropic substances for a long time, cleansing their body and bringing their psyche to a normal state. They used this practice as a tool. What exactly they smoked remains a mystery. We are smoked with tobacco...

Focus with a cigarette.

sucrose C 12 H 22 O 11 in normal conditions does not burn: if you bring a lit match to a piece of sugar, it will melt, partially char, but not burn. If, however, quite a bit of cigarette ash is poured onto a piece of sugar and the fire is brought up again, the sugar will light up with a bluish-yellow flame with a slight crackle. Try it and see!

The essence of the changes in the behavior of sugar is that tobacco ash, containing alkali metal carbonates, serves as a catalyst for the combustion of this substance. It's believed that leading role lithium carbonate plays here Li 2 CO 3 . Sugar is burned into carbon dioxide and water.

Where does lithium carbonate come from?

The fact is that tobacco leaves are lithium concentrators, just like land plants such as buttercup and tartar. Tobacco, with the help of lithium, accelerates the synthesis of nicotine in its leaves. When smoking tobacco, a person inhales a lot of lithium carbonate.Li 2 O+CO 2 — 500 oC→ Li 2 CO 3

Well, what use is this lithium to us?

Lithium carbonate is mainly used in medicine as a medicine. If you look at the pharmacy, you will find the following medicines based on it:lithium carbonate; Quilonum; Contemnol; lithium carbonate; Litosan; Litosan-SR; Micalite; Sedalite.

Who and what are they being treated for?

Let us quote the content of the annotation of one of them:

« Properties / Action:

Lithium carbonate - psychotropic normothymic, antipsychotic and sedative; normotimic. It also has antidepressant and antimanic effects.

How much scum without shame and conscience divorced in Russia ... “They have no conscience,

but there is an awful lot of resentment: they are not ashamed to dirty tricks, but they cannot stand the reproach of dirty tricks».

(V.O. Klyuchevsky. Collected works in 9 volumes. - Moscow: Thought. 1990. T. 9. - P. 398).

Shaman played important role in the life of the tribe and was freed from everyday work. At the request of the shaman, the tribesmen donated food and household items to their shaman. There was a balance

You are not a shaman. In the name of whom and what do you sacrifice your health?

Health is the most precious thing a person has and few will argue with that. It is also known that in healthy body- a healthy mind. A person with a weak body is easily robbed. It is easy to suppress morally and deprive a person of a weak spirit. It is obvious that these weaknesses only play into the hands of our enemies and rivals. A weakened and weak-willed person is a SLAVE. No matter how much he works, his life will not get better. The only way out is resistance.

Your enemies

Through the media, they introduce stereotypes of behavior and norms of life, in which it is not considered shameful to poison oneself and others with poisons and psychotropic substances. They create smoking and drinking idols for you, whom you worship and from whom you take an example. They sell tobacco and alcohol a step away from you. They take advantage of your weakness and destroy you and your descendants.

Enemies are easier if you:

You work for them. You sell, buy, consume weapons of genocide (tobacco, alcohol, drugs). Using yourself as an example, you involve young people and children in consumption. In your work, through culture, you popularize the consumption of poisons and psychotropic substances.

The goals of the enemies are clear:

Here are just a few facts that are hard to dismiss:

"It is economically expedient, according to the estimates of the world community, to leave 15 million people to live in Russia." Margaret Thatcher.

Japan never concluded a peace treaty with us, because of claims to the territory. Takes a wait-and-see attitude.

The United States supplied weapons and instructors for the invasion of Russian territory from Georgia in 2008.

In our time (general fight against smoking), there is hardly a person who does not know that smoking kills. However, the army of smokers from this knowledge does not become smaller. What's happening? , knowing that bad habit inevitably leads to death, or at least to serious illnesses? Let's try to figure out what is contained in tobacco, which leads to sad consequences.

black grass

In the people, tobacco is called evil, black grass. Tobacco contains nicotine, a powerful poison that affects nervous system, respiratory organs, senses, digestion, circulatory system. Hydrocyanic acid and arsenic cause general poisoning body, styrene leads to disruption of the senses, neuro-cardiac poisons - to neuropsychiatric diseases, diseases of the blood and heart. Smoking changes how the composition gastric juice, and secretory and motor function stomach.

Once in the stomach, the tobacco mixture begins to actively affect the mucous membrane, which leads to impaired excretion. of hydrochloric acid. And this contributes to the occurrence of diseases of the stomach - primarily gastritis and peptic ulcer and subsequently cancer.

Smoking is extremely damaging to female body. Women get lung cancer about twice as often as men. Women who start smoking before age 25 have a 70% increased chance of developing breast cancer.

Doctors estimate that every cigarette smoked shortens a person's life by at least seven minutes. In general, smokers in Russia live five years less than non-smokers.

Smoking - harm your teeth

Smoking is also destructive to teeth. To introduce smoke from the oral cavity and nasopharynx into the lungs, the smoker, slightly opening his mouth, inhales a fresh portion of air, along with which tobacco smoke enters. The temperature of the air entering from the outside is 35-40 degrees lower than the temperature of the smoke in the mouth (usually about 55-60 degrees). Such a colossal temperature difference, observed during the smoking of one cigarette with the number of "puffs" by 20-25 times, destroys tooth enamel. As a result, caries develops intensively, the teeth begin to crumble.

Traffic fumes

During the dry distillation of tobacco leaves (which happens when smoking), over four thousand of the most diverse components are formed, forty of which are carcinogens, cancer-causing. Carcinogenic resins also lead to respiratory diseases.

Tobacco combustion products, in particular carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide), disrupt normal blood circulation and lead to infertility and heart disease. (Carbon monoxide from tobacco smoke and car exhaust are the same substance. Only tobacco smoke contains toxic substances four times more. In other words, smoking a cigarette for one minute is about the same as breathing for four minutes. exhaust gases car.)

20,000 operations per year

The terrible consequences of smoking are hidden from the eyes of smokers. People without legs no longer walk our streets, but most spend time at home. Even the famous football goalkeeper Lev Yashin had his legs amputated due to smoking. What needs to happen in your life for you to quit smoking?

But if you only hurt yourself. Smoking on the streets, you show our children not just a bad example. You condemn them to a curse that you can't get rid of yourself. And the circle closes - thousands and thousands die, are left without legs, die from cancer.

tobacco radiation

A huge amount of tobacco and radioactive substances. When smoking one pack of cigarettes a day, a person receives a dose of radiation that is seven times higher than the maximum allowable, according to the international agreement on radiation protection. It has been proven that radiation from tobacco origin is main reason occurrence of cancer. One cubic centimeter of tobacco smoke contains up to 600,000 soot particles. A person who smokes 20 cigarettes daily accumulates in his lungs about six kilograms of soot in twenty years, which contains such dangerous carcinogens as benzpyrene, benzathracene, and the radioactive element polonium-210.

In addition, according to the Russian biophysicist A.L. Chizhevsky, a smoker, smoking just one cigarette, kills oxygen ions on an area of ​​450 square meters on the floor where he is, and on 150 square meters - on the floor above and below. Non-smokers are literally forced to breathe poisonous smoke, and they have less resistance to its effects than smokers. It was found that for eight deaths caused by smoking, there is one death from “passive smoking”. The one who smokes at home kills not only himself, but also his non-smoking environment, especially children who have a mucous membrane respiratory tract very sensitive to harmful influences.

Smoke in my head

Soviet scientist A.E. Sherbakov studied the effect of nicotine on the brain. He found that small doses of nicotine increase the excitability of the cerebral cortex for a very short time, and then depress and deplete activity. nerve cells. Only complete cessation poisoning the brain with tobacco poisons guarantees a person the normalization of psycho-physiological processes in the body. Smokers usually say that smoking calm the nerves. In fact, by smoking, they only deplete and depress the nervous system of the body, weaken the immune system. And then people ask: why does smoking kill? The answer is obvious, it follows from all of the above.
However, which of the smokers is concerned that he harms not only himself but also others, non-smoking people who suffer because of it? Please note: a person who smokes on the street, as a rule, does not care where he exhales his poisonous carcinogenic smoke. He does not care that often the smoke hits passers-by directly in the face. Try to make a remark to the smoker - most likely, you will stumble upon irritation and aggression. Here's to you "calmed nerves".

Come to your senses man, and make a decision. Don't mess with death. Life is only one and you should not part with it too soon.
