Nowadays, more and more women are concerned about the problem of smoking. Whenever I walk among the crowd, I will see female friends smoking. Everyone should know that many human diseases are caused by smoking, especially among women. Smoking is very harmful to women. But never underestimate such a small action as smoking. Every action you take is harmful to your health. So what are the disadvantages of smoking for girls? Let me show you today.

Nowadays, women smoke more and more frequently. At parties, you can often see women puffing smoke from their mouths. It may be to look cool or to relieve stress, but don't forget, dear female friends, smoking is very harmful to women!

Of the more than 1 billion smokers worldwide, about 200 million are women - tobacco companies have more room to expand among them. There are many harms to women smoking: dysmenorrhea, infertility, reduced breast milk, etc. Don't ignore the killer of women smoking!

Smoking is harmful to health. Tobacco smoke contains at least three dangerous chemicals: tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide, which seriously endanger people's health. However, you may not know that smoking has its own special dangers for women. Let’s take a look.

1. Can cause infertility

Smoking can reduce the fertilization ability of eggs and increase the likelihood of infertility by 2.7 times. The situation is even worse if the husband is also a smoker. Because smoking can reduce sperm quantity and motility.

2. Causes irregular menstruation

Nicotine in tobacco can reduce the secretion of female sex hormones and lead to menstrual disorders. Women who smoke reach menopause earlier and experience menopausal symptoms earlier. Women who smoke more than a pack of cigarettes a day are twice as likely to experience menstrual irregularities as non-smoking women. Recent studies have also confirmed that smoking is one of the risk factors for breast cancer in women.

3. Smoking during pregnancy can cause miscarriage

Women who smoke are 10 times more likely to have a miscarriage during pregnancy than non-smoking women, and the average fetal weight is reduced by 230 grams.

The mortality rate of fetuses before and after birth is also higher for mothers who smoke. For mothers who smoke less than one pack a day, the mortality rate and risk of fetuses before and after birth is 20%; for mothers who smoke more than one pack a day, it is 35%. In addition, the risk of congenital heart disease in babies born to mothers who smoke is doubled.

4. Smoking affects children’s intelligence and development

Smoking during pregnancy has adverse effects on the intellectual and physical development of their children. Children will have some psychological and physiological dysfunction before school age. After entering school, their reading and calculation abilities are worse than those of children of non-smoking women, and their height is also shorter than that of children of non-smoking women.

5. Susceptibility to cancer

Women who smoke have a 40% higher risk of developing breast cancer than non-smoking women, a 14 times higher risk of developing cervical cancer, and a 28 times higher risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has already understood the disadvantages of smoking for girls. The disadvantages of smoking are not just the ones mentioned above, there are many more, including the skin appearance which is what we girls care about the most. Smoking will make girls age faster and cause more wrinkles. So it is best to remind girls not to smoke.
