Smoking cures constipation

Many people think that smoking is a good way to treat constipation. In fact, this idea is completely wrong. The act of smoking will have very serious negative effects on your body. Especially patients who already suffer from gastrointestinal diseases must pay more attention to it so as not to worsen their condition. It will also cause damage to their bones.

For people with gastrointestinal diseases, smoking can make the disease worse. For people with gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer, the healing of the ulcer will be slowed down and may even develop into a chronic disease. Smoking can stimulate the nervous system, accelerate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, make the gastrointestinal tract often in a state of tension, and cause smokers to lose their appetite. In addition, nicotine can cause the blood vessels in the gastrointestinal mucosa to constrict and also reduce appetite.

Smokers take longer to recover from broken bones than non-smokers. It may be that the nicotine and carbon monoxide contained in cigarettes slow down the progress of bone regeneration. Nicotine causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing blood flow to new bone. The carbon monoxide inhaled when smoking also reduces the rate of oxygen entering the body. Smoking can cause pelvic pain and back pain. Smoking more than ten cigarettes a day will double the risk of pelvic inflammation. Most people with severe back pain are heavy smokers. This is because smoking reduces blood flow to the joint disc, causing the joint disc to degenerate prematurely. Smoking can cause arthritis.

Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day will increase the risk of disease by 50%. Postmenopausal women who smoke are more likely to suffer from fractures and joint diseases. Smoking causes faster bone loss. Women who continue to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day from puberty to menopause will have 5 to 10 percent less bone mass than non-smokers. Smokers lose bone mass at a faster rate when they enter menopause. Smoking interferes with estrogen, an important hormone for bone development.

Smoking is the main risk factor for chronic obstructive bronchitis.

Smoking puts more strain on the liver. Frequent smoking affects the lipid metabolism of the liver, increasing the fat in the blood, reducing benign cholesterol and increasing malignant cholesterol. This reason puts an increased burden on the liver's detoxification function.
