Since 1988, the World Health Organization has designated May 31 of every year as World No Tobacco Day to encourage all countries to be aware of the dangers. and loss of both health, economy and society caused by smoking. In 2023, Thailand has set a campaign issue that “E-cigarettes are toxic, addictive, dangerous.”

harmful substances in cigarettes Tobacco smoke contains about 4,000 chemicals that are harmful to our physical health, which can be divided into 3 major groups:
- The first group includes tar or tar or as seen as cigarette stains. It is a combination of chemicals in the group of hydrocarbons. which will condense into a substance that is sticky attached to the lungs And has carcinogenic properties by itself. It is also a substance that accelerates the growth of cancer cells. If a smoker already has cancer in his body
- The second group includes nicotine, which is classified as a brain stimulant. and the central nervous system in the early stages But in the later stages, there will be a depressant effect on the nervous system. It also constricts blood vessels. resulting in increased blood pressure stimulate the heart to beat faster as well Nicotine plays a part in making smokers want to keep smoking.
- The third group is carbon monoxide. The high concentrations in cigarette smoke interfere with red blood cell oxygen uptake. and also causes more fat to build up on the artery walls Causing constricted blood vessels, deteriorating eyesight, reducing efficiency in decision-making and reduced response to sound This is dangerous for drivers, pilots and results in reduced performance of athletes.
However, lately there have been misunderstandings about e-cigarettes. through various online channels, whether e-cigarettes can help you quit smoking or e-cigarettes are less dangerous than rolled-up cigarettes But in reality, both e-cigarettes and rolled cigarettes Contains the same nicotine Nicotine is an addictive substance. and can lead to addiction encephalopathy similar to that of heroin and methamphetamine In addition to nicotine in e-cigarettes, there are flavor enhancers. which makes e-smokers addictive as well E-cigarettes therefore do not help you to quit smoking cigarettes. But smokers will switch from being addicted to cigarettes to e-cigarettes instead. And e-cigarettes are no less dangerous than smoking cigarettes. Because e-cigarettes have side effects quickly. Including affecting the body, including blood vessels, brain, heart, respiratory system such as asthma, allergies from experiments in rats Inhaling e-cigarette vapor into the lungs, it was found that the bronchial mucosa and alveoli were inflamed and changed as in the lungs of rats exposed to cigarette smoke. This is an early change found in emphysema.
However, on World No Tobacco Day I want you to be aware of the dangers of all types of cigarettes, a silent threat that affects smokers as well as those around them. It is a major cause of chronic diseases in many systems of the body such as emphysema, lung cancer, bladder cancer. cardiovascular disease sexual dysfunction, etc.
