Smoking is harmful to health, but many people still do not shed tears before seeing the coffin. There is a middle-aged carpenter in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China who smokes at least 10 packs of cigarettes a day. As a result, he was sent to the hospital recently due to persistent high fever and difficulty breathing. The examination found that his lungs were severely damaged and he developed symptoms of respiratory failure. Although he followed the doctor’s advice and decided to quit smoking, It’s too late.
According to the “Wuhan Evening News” report, this man in his 50s is an experienced carpenter. Because of his work, he often works overtime until midnight. In order to refresh himself, he started smoking. Originally he only had 1 or 2 packs a day, but as time went by, his addiction became more and more serious. Later, I had to smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a day. The first thing I did when I woke up was to light a cigarette. I only had to light a fire once. After smoking one, I would use the remaining fire to light the next one. This habit continued. Nearly 20 years.
The man’s respiratory tract has become extremely fragile recently. He often has fever, cough, and chest tightness, which seriously affects his life, so he went to the hospital for treatment. The examination revealed that the lungs not only had emphysema and bullae, but were also infected with tuberculosis. A further chest computed tomography scan showed that the lungs were severely damaged, with almost no normal lung tissue, and the emphysema was also very obvious, and the reason was precisely Caused by long-term smoking.
Fortunately, the man’s lung condition improved following treatment, but his lung function might not be fully restored. He needs to avoid physical labor or strenuous exercise in the future to reduce the burden on his lungs. Doctors also remind that long-term heavy smoking is one of the main factors leading to lung tumors. It can also cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as heart failure, cerebral infarction, etc. These diseases are more likely to occur when smoking and pose a serious threat to life and health. .
◎Remind you: Smoking is harmful to health, and smoking is harmful to others and yourself.
