What are the harms of smoking to women?

Nowadays, many women think smoking is a fashion, so many women have developed the habit of smoking. However, they don’t know that smoking is harmful to the human body. If they smoke for a long time, there will be sequelae. Let’s take a look at the dangers of smoking for women and learn about it together.

1. Impact on beauty: The skin of women who smoke appears older, has more wrinkles, and is grayer than that of women who do not smoke. Especially the wrinkles on the upper and lower lips and corners of the eyes and mouth increase significantly.

2. Reduced fertility: Women who smoke are prone to female infertility, with an infertility rate of 10-30%.

3. Easy to cause miscarriage: Pregnant women who smoke more than 10 grams of cigarettes a day have a miscarriage rate more than twice that of non-smoking pregnant women; the incidence of premature birth in smoking women is twice that of non-smoking women. The more a pregnant woman smokes, the more likely her children will be arrested for violent crimes in the future, according to new research.

4. The rate of malformations in newborn babies is significantly increased: it is 2-3 times that of non-smoking women, among which the proportion of congenital heart disease is 73%, and the risk of leukemia is twice as high. In addition, the incidence of anencephaly and dementia has also increased significantly. Among the children born to smoking women, the rate of mental retardation and mental illness is also more significant.

5. Reduce milk secretion: Smoking can reduce milk secretion, and nicotine can also enter the breast milk through the blood. Women who smoke 10-20 cigarettes a day can separate 0.4-0.5 mg of nicotine into 1 kg of breast milk. This is a serious threat to the baby's health.

6. Susceptibility to cancer: Smoking women have a 40% higher risk of developing breast cancer, 14 times higher risk of developing cervical cancer, and 28 times higher risk of developing ovarian cancer than non-smoking women.

7. Prone to stroke: Women who smoke 1-4 cigarettes a day are more than twice as likely to suffer a stroke as non-smoking women. Those who smoke more than five cigarettes are more than five times more likely to have a higher risk of developing the disease.

The above is the answer to the harm of smoking to women. It is recommended that women who have the habit of smoking must change this smoking habit in time, for their own health, but also for the sake of their loved ones around them, because if people around them inhale secondhand smoke, it will also cause many harms. Smoking can also cause lung cancer, so it is best to quit smoking in time.
