quit smoking, relapse

Is it really hard to quit smoking?

Cigarettes, fragrant? When it is not lit, the tobacco leaves are quite fragrant. When it is lit, where is the fragrance? Smoke filled the room, and the air in the room was suddenly polluted.

Tobacco, a monopolized product, will bring huge taxes to countries because of its huge profits. Tobacco has been a delight and an affliction for thousands of years, from when the Indians began to grow and smoke it, to when the surviving Mayan priests of Palenque became the first known smokers.

When the foreign colonists discovered the New World, they also discovered the preciousness of tobacco, a common nightshade plant. A Spanish priest, Casas, wrote in his book: "As they walk, they light the grass and enjoy the fragrance. What makes them so fond of it looks a bit like the firecrackers that children set off at festivals. ; consisted of a larger dry leaf wrapped around some smaller leaves of dry grass. They lit one of them with charcoal and then repeatedly sucked the other with their mouths. While puffing, their bodies slowly relaxed, exhausted The feeling gradually disappears, and the soul is completely intoxicated in it.” Rodriguez de Jerez, a sailor from Columbus, is considered the first European to smoke a cigarette. The strong taste of tobacco made him feel empty, relieved and refreshed. As a result, tobacco began to cross the oceans and rapidly fission spread to all continents of the world.

Like any new thing, there will be opposition at the beginning. Rodri, the first European to smoke, also became the first victim of the anti-smoking campaign after returning to his country, and was sentenced to ten years in prison; the earliest advocate of pipe smoking Sir Walter Raleigh, also sentenced to death. However, with the advent of the great voyage, tobacco was unstoppably expanding with merchant ships to various places, and more and more people smoked. In the era of the industrial revolution, a huge tobacco industry system began to appear.

life is like flowers

The husband started smoking very early, and his smoking age is longer than his working years. "It's impossible to quit smoking!" One sentence stopped the topic of quitting smoking. I don’t smoke too much every day. When it’s more, it’s about a pack. If there is more entertainment at night, or if you stay up late, you will draw more.

Smoking is common in their generation, and handing out cigarettes seems to be a courtesy, a means of communication. When giving gifts during the festival, you will first consider giving cigarettes and alcohol. This generation was given tetracycline because of colds when they were young. Many people's teeth were eroded, dark teeth, and smoking for many years... The first time I saw him, you could tell by looking at his teeth that he should be a smoker. But after dating for more than half a month, I haven't seen him smoking a cigarette, so I'm embarrassed to ask directly. Once he took me to see an old classmate, the old classmate naturally took out a cigarette and handed it to him, he picked it up naturally, and took it one by one in an old-fashioned way. I was sitting on the sofa and looked at him in surprise for a while: The city is so deep. ! For so long, how did he endure not smoking in front of me?

Half a year before the epidemic, he went for a physical examination and found that there were indicators at the critical point. The doctor persuaded him: it is best not to smoke and drink less. So, he loosened up a little and wanted to quit smoking. At this time, his father was critically ill, and he was hit a lot. He was busy with his work, and he hadn't touched a cigarette for a while until he had finished taking care of the funeral.

During the smoking cessation process, he had symptoms of de-addiction. In the afternoon, he would feel uncomfortable, and there was no taste in his mouth, so he went to find snacks to eat. After a while, he basically had no symptoms. All the refusals handed by his colleagues, and the colleagues who just sat together and puffed at him jokingly called him: a person who is so cruel to himself is a bit scary!

After the epidemic broke out, he went to ask a friend in Wuhan about the local situation and kept in touch. A friend summed up to him: "People who smoke are less infected than non-smokers, and nicotine has an effect on the virus." Well, he had an excuse for relapse. At the beginning, only one person in the office smoked, and for half a year No one knew that he had been relapsing for a long time, and it was hidden deep. One day, when I got into his car, there was a smell of smoke: "Hey, who is in your car? Smoking in your car?" There was a silence, "Oh, you smoked! You're smoking again!" He couldn't lie Yes, it was revealed...

After that, it was the same as before. I started smoking blatantly. Every time I mentioned it, I swore: "The epidemic is over, I will quit smoking immediately!"

When will the epidemic pass? Will it become the norm? What if it becomes the norm?

As the younger generation grows up, the proportion of smoking is decreasing. Electronic cigarettes are their dish. It is said to be more harmful than tobacco. How long will humans be bound by these, as well as marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin...

May more people stay away from these harmful items so that their bodies can become healthier and cleaner.
