Six major hazards of smoking for women

1. 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.

2. Affect beauty

The skin of women who smoke appears older, has more wrinkles and a grayer color than that of women who do not smoke. Especially the wrinkles on the upper and lower lips and corners of the eyes and mouth increase significantly.

3. Reduce milk secretion

Smoking can reduce milk secretion, and nicotine can also enter the breast milk through the blood. Women who smoke 10-20 cigarettes a day can separate 0.4-0.5 mg of nicotine into 1 kg of breast milk. This is a serious threat to the baby's health.

4. Susceptibility to stroke

Women who smoke 1-4 cigarettes a day are more than twice as likely to have a stroke as non-smoking women. Those who smoke more than five cigarettes are more than five times more likely to have a higher risk of developing the disease.

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.

6. Susceptibility to AIDS

It mainly manifests itself in the impact of smoking on the immune system. Smoking can significantly reduce the number of activated immune cells CD4 and lymphocytes. Smoking can affect the vagina, cervix and immune system, reducing immunity. Therefore, under the same circumstances, smokers are more likely to contract AIDS than non-smokers.

The editor reminds you that through the research of experts, the final data shows that smoking causes greater harm to women than to men. Ladies, for the sake of your health, please stay away from cigarettes!
