Hello! I have been a doctor for 21 years. My name is Georgy Olegovich Sapego. In this article, I'll talk about how people who quit smoking develop mouth ulcers.
People regularly die from smoking. There are three main reasons for this:
- atherosclerosis;
- lungs' cancer;
- chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Quitting smoking is always beneficial, but sometimes it is also a little harmful.
People live longer after quitting smoking. This is most noticeable if a person quit smoking before the age of 40. But this is noticeable even when they quit and after 80 years.
Cardiovascular diseases
More than 10% of deaths from diseases of the heart and blood vessels worldwide are associated with smoking. Nicotine makes the arteries of the heart spasm, increases the tendency of blood to form blood clots, has a bad effect on cholesterol and spoils the vessels from the inside.
When people quit smoking, they are less likely to die from heart attacks and strokes.
Crayfish
Not only lung cancer is associated with smoking, but a whole list of other malignant neoplasms. Those who quit smoking have a lower risk of cancer.
Lung disease
Asthma and chronic bronchitis. We have already discussed all this with you. Check out the link below.
Infection
Smoking predisposes to the development of infections:
- tuberculosis;
- pneumococcal pneumonia;
- legionnaires' diseases;
- meningococcus;
- flu;
- common cold.
If you quit smoking, then the risk of developing such infections should seem to be reduced. But it is not exactly. And this is weird.
Diabetes
Smoking predisposes to diabetes. Interestingly, people who quit smoking will have an even higher risk of developing diabetes in the coming years.
This is believed to be related to weight gain immediately after quitting smoking. So for the desired effect, you will have to wait several years and limit yourself in grub. This is also a question of the fact that smoking imposes a curse on our body that cannot be quickly eliminated.
Osteoporosis
Smoking increases the risk of breaking the hip neck in women. If they quit smoking, then the benefits will have to wait 10 years. This is another curse.
Reproductive problems
Smoking spoils everything in this area: from the possibility of conception, to bearing and the weight of the child at birth. If a woman quits smoking, then the offspring are healthier.
Stomach ulcer
Those who quit smoking are less likely to have stomach ulcers and heal faster. If anyone remembers, 40 years ago there was a fashionable saying about how harmful it is to smoke on an empty stomach.
Teeth falling out
Smoking causes gum disease. For those who quit smoking, the mouth heals only after a few years. This is another curse.
Surgical operations
Wounds heal worse in people who smoke. The longer a person has abstained from smoking before the operation, the better everything will be overgrown later.
There are many more harmful things. Usually people get it. But not everyone is ready to completely quit smoking. Some people think that you can only smoke lightly. Without getting carried away.
Smoke a little
Studies were conducted on people aged 60 to 80 years who smoked less than 10 cigarettes a day. It turned out that they die in about the same way as heavy smokers.
Then they found out that nicotine addiction makes smokers inhale deeper. So they manage to hurt themselves with even a small amount of cigarettes.
When quitting smoking is bad for your health
This also happens. But the harm from smoking always outweighs the benefit.
If a person with nicotine addiction quits smoking, then he may have withdrawal syndrome:
- zhor and gaining excess weight;
- filthy mood;
- insomnia;
- anxiety;
- trouble concentrating.
This can be dealt with. Complain to the doctor and he will prescribe something.
Weight gain
This happens more often with women. They gain an average of 4 - 5 kg in a few months. But it can get worse. Approximately 10% of people who quit smoking and have not changed their other habits can gain more than 10 kg of excess weight.
Depression
If everything was not good with the head before, then quitting smoking can provoke episodes of depression.
Cough and mouth ulcers
It's interesting here. The cough occurs because the lungs revive and are cleared of tar. It's clear. But why mouth ulcers appear - they did not understand. After a couple of months, everything goes away.
It is also important to note that even if people with chronic lung diseases have an increased cough, this does not mean that they can die of pneumonia.
Someone here complained that evil doctors did not allow grandfather to smoke in the hospital, and he died from this. No. The overall course of lung disease is improving and survival is increasing.
Be sure to consult on all these issues with your doctor.
