Second-hand smoke can also destroy organs

Cigarette smoke is becoming more harmful than ever, when the chemicals still on the surrounding objects can be harmful to health.

The harmful effects of tobacco on health have long been scientifically proven. In the mid-1980s, we also learned that passive smoking (by inhaling smoke from smokers) also caused great harm, even greater than active smoking.

Thought is only that, but it turns out that passive smoking also has another form. The world is called third-hand smoke, which refers to the residue of smoke remaining on surrounding objects: curtains, carpets, furniture, clothing .

The harmful effects of tobacco on health have long been scientifically proven.

And now, a new study has shown that smoke residue can completely continue to harm people. Accordingly, even if the smoke has dissolved, the amount of residual chemicals - like nitrosamine - will continue to be a problem. If they accumulate over time, they can cause a completely new type of cancer.

"Our goal is to determine the minimum time to create physical effects in mice when they are exposed to the smoke for the third time, using the same method of contact that humans encounter" - Manuela Martins-Green, a researcher from University of California, Riverside, said.

After putting the materials in the smoke to store THS, they put them in the rat barn. Within 6 months, experts will perform tests on their brain, liver and serum. They will confirm hormonal changes, insulin resistance, digestive system, and signs of nervous and organ damage.

In the US, 5 people die, 1 related to smoking.

And the results are sad."We found that after just one month of exposure to THS, the liver was damaged," said Martins-Green.

"In 2 months, lesions spread at the molecular level, and about 4 to 6 months have been very damaging. Mice also showed signs of insulin resistance after long-time exposure to smoke 3".

The liver is the center of human poisoning, so chemicals that interfere with liver function will make the toxin more and more powerful, accelerating the process of body destruction. In addition, stress hormones in mice also increase, causing their immune system to decline.

But more importantly, it should be emphasized that this study was performed on mice, in the ideal conditions of the laboratory. The real world is not like that, when there are currently more than 1 billion smokers per day (data from WHO in 2016). That is, we are facing great risks.

"Although research does not work on humans, we should determine that your hotel, car, or home itself is most likely to be smoked for the third time."

We should determine that hotels, cars . are also capable of third smoky.

In the US, 5 people die, 1 related to smoking. As for second hand smoke , we have even more worrisome facts, as it involves many serious illnesses for both children and adults.

And maybe now, drug addicts should really try to quit, because the harmful effects of drugs are getting bigger.
