Suddenly quitting smoking kills you?

Beijing smoke control action vigorous, but many old smokers in the past have encountered such problems: suddenly do not smoke, the body instead of a variety of discomfort! Even the society has been circulating a saying that "sudden cessation of smoking will upset the balance of the body, but bad for the body"! The old smoker suddenly quit smoking, the body really will be affected?

Experts said that smoke age in more than twenty or thirty years old smokers, in the early days of quitting smoking, the body may indeed appear some discomfort symptoms, this is the cessation of smoking after the "withdrawal symptoms", the health impact is small. There is no scientific basis for "quitting smoking and anti-pernicious".

　　Physical discomfort is withdrawal symptoms

"Quitting smoking early to sleep well, the whole body is dull, anxious and irritable, if smoking a cigarette symptoms will be better." "In the quitting clinic, such complaints are not uncommon, and many smokers are abandoning the idea of quitting." Studies have shown that smokers on average try to quit smoking 6~9 times before quitting successfully, and relapse is common.

By the end of 2013, the network's Big V Ren Zhiqiang on Weibo, but unexpectedly caused controversy over whether to quit smoking on the internet. Some Weibo celebrities even advised Ren Zhiqiang not to suddenly quit smoking, such as the original Sohu Vice President @ Liu Chun on Weibo said, "Suddenly quit bad, upset the balance system of the body, prone to endocrine disorders, prostate hyperplasia and rapid obesity." ”

Professor Shodan, a center for tobacco disease and smoking cessation at the Chinese-Japanese hospital, said that in the early days of quitting smoking, it was true that anxiety, depression, increased salivary gland secretion, inattention, sleep disorders, and even weight gain in some of those who quit smoking were normal withdrawal reactions.

"Nicotine in tobacco is a major substance in smoking addiction, and when nicotine in tobacco is inhaled, it stimulates the neurons in the brain to produce dopamine, which makes people feel happy." When nicotine is metabolized, dopamine in the body drops sharply, prompting smokers to constantly ingest nicotine. "The director of the Center for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment of capital Medical University explains that withdrawal symptoms are very common in the early stage of quitting smoking, and the medical staff in the smoking clinic should explain to the smokers clearly and intervene when necessary to provide smoking cessation drugs."

But there will be no endocrine disorders, prostate hyperplasia and other pathological changes. On the contrary, smoking is the cause of endocrine disorders, there is evidence that smoking can lead to ⅱ type of diabetes.

　　Smoke age in the degree of withdrawal reaction

The degree of withdrawal symptoms varies depending on the history of smoking, the number of cigarettes smoked each day and the age of smoke, which determines the degree of nicotine dependence, the support said. In the case of smokers with mild dependence, there is generally no discomfort at the beginning of the cessation of smoking, if it is more than the nicotine dependence of more than 20 cigarettes a day, smoking more than twenty or thirty years old smokers, the brain center of dopamine has a certain amount of demand, suddenly quit, there is no corresponding intervention measures, may appear irritable, Anxiety, flustered and other withdrawal symptoms.

　　The National Health Planning Commission published the China Clinical Smoking Cessation Guide (2015 edition), which indicates that tobacco dependence is manifested in both physical and psychological dependence. In general, withdrawal symptoms can begin several hours after cessation of smoking, the strongest in the first 14 days of quitting, and then gradually reduced until it disappears. Most withdrawal symptoms lasted about 1 months, but the craving for smoking in some patients lasted more than 1 years.

　　Do not rely on perseverance, "dry ring"

Smoking, as a nicotine-dependent disease, has been classified by the World Health Organization as a specialized disease, so to a certain extent, smoking cessation is tantamount to healing, but only by willpower "dry ring" relapse rate is high.

"The experience of smoking cessation in the past tells us that the success rate is less than 5% by personal perseverance alone." Old smokers may need nicotine substitutes or smoking cessation medications to help them get through the early withdrawal symptoms of quitting smoking. So old smokers to quit smoking out of the doctor under the guidance of scientific and effective smoking cessation. Professor Shodan, of the Center for Tobacco disease and smoking cessation at the Chinese-Japanese hospital, said that nicotine replacement drugs were mainly made by providing nicotine to the human body to replace or partially replace nicotine from tobacco, not only to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms during the cessation process, but also to avoid direct damage from harmful substances in the smoke, Slowly reduce the craving for nicotine, to achieve the cessation of smoking.

In addition, the benefit reminds, if an old smoker for no reason suddenly don't want to smoke, the body of smoking has produced resistance and disgust, which should cause high vigilance, is likely to be lung cancer or disease signal.
