Do you want to know why you are warned that smoking is injurious to health.
2nd August is observed as “World Lung Cancer day”, to make people aware of cause, effect and solutions of lung cancer.
As we know there is now one specific reason for lung cancer, yet researchers had established one strong link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking.
As shown in image, we had tried to explain logically one of the possible logical reason for lung cancer due to cigarette smoking. (https://www.lung-cancer.com/tobacco).
Cigarette smoke contains substances such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and benzopyrene. According to National Library of medicine “3,4-Benzpyrene is a crystalline, aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of five fused benzene rings and formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter. 3,4-Benzpyrene is primarily found in gasoline and diesel exhaust, cigarette smoke etc.”
Benzopyrene shuts off the gene p53 mechanism. According to paper https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11496714/ , p53 gene is tumor suppressor. This agent makes sure that healthy cells divide while unhealthy ones die off.
Shutting off the gene, leads to unhealthy and malignant cells to grow and spread throughout the body.
It is not only you quit smoking but make sure that you don’t either inhale it, if someone else is smoking. Explain him your view with courage, because he will not share the pain (both psychological and physical) you will be bearing during lung cancer.
Do you also think we must spread this message “Smoking is injurious to health”.
