What diseases are easily caused by smoking and drinking? How harmful is tobacco and alcohol

As the saying goes, smoke hurts the lung and wine burns the stomach. The smoke produced during cigarette burning (smoking) contains about 1000 harmful components to human body, and nicotine is the most harmful. The nicotine contained in cigarettes is enough to poison mice. Wine is a pure heat food, which is decomposed in the body to produce energy, but does not contain nutrients. Drinking a small amount of low-alcohol alcohol is not necessarily harmful, but excessive drinking and alcoholism are certainly harmful. So, long-term smoking and drinking can't be separated from the body. What serious harm will there be?

1. Esophageal carcinoma

Drinking is easy to harm the liver, smoking is easy to get lung cancer, why is it related to esophageal cancer? As we all know, frequent drinking of hot tea and Congee is easy to induce esophageal cancer because the esophageal mucosa is stimulated by high temperature. Alcohol, especially high level Baijiu, will directly burn the esophageal mucosa. In the long run, if repeatedly stimulated, esophageal cancer will naturally arrive.

Many people drink alcohol while smoking. They drink better and drink more alcohol. The reason is that nicotine can reduce alcohol concentration. However, nicotine can not only reduce the acetaldehyde produced during the decomposition of alcohol, but also cause more toxicity to the brain, liver and heart. At the same time, alcohol is an organic solvent, which dissolves carcinogens in tobacco, and brings stronger stimulation to the esophageal wall, doubling the harm.

2. Gastric ulcer

When smoking, it is not only nicotine that smokes. The smoke enters the stomach along with the digestive tract and directly stimulates the gastric mucosa. The gastric mucosa has symptoms of ischemia and hypoxia. In the long run, gastric ulcer is easy to form. For patients with gastrointestinal diseases, smoking is enough to worsen gastrointestinal diseases, slow ulcer healing, and evolve into chronic diseases.

A large amount of alcohol at one time will cause discomfort symptoms such as acute gastritis, and continuous intake of alcohol will lead to more serious chronic gastritis. Drinking moderate amount of low-alcohol alcohol can increase the blood flow of gastric blood, but long-term or one-time consumption of strong alcohol will directly damage the barrier of gastric mucosa, leading to congestion, edema, erosion and even bleeding

3. Impotence

After the smoke is ignited, tar is inhaled into the body, blood viscosity increases, and the venous closure mechanism becomes abnormal. When these hemodynamic processes are uncoordinated, the blood circulation of the penis will be blocked, leading to impotence. In addition, nicotine, as the main component of tobacco, sexual excitement is generated by the central nervous system of the brain. Nicotine strongly stimulates the nervous system. Long-term smoking will excite, directly affect penis congestion and cause impotence.
