Isishwankathelo

Ziyintoni iimpembelelo zokutshaya empilweni?

Akukho ndlela yokuyijikeleza; ukutshaya akulunganga kwimpilo yakho. Yenzakalisa phantse onke amalungu omzimba, amanye ongalindelanga. Ukutshaya imidiza kubulala phantse umntu omnye kwabahlanu eUnited States. Inokubangela ezinye iicancer kunye neengxaki zempilo. Oku kubandakanya

• Umhlaza, kubandakanya umhlaza wemiphunga kunye nomlomo
• Izifo zemiphunga, ezinje ngeCOPD (isifo esinganyangekiyo semiphunga)
• Ukonakaliswa kunye nokuqina kwemithambo yegazi, ebangela uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu
• Amahlwili egazi kunye nokubetha
• Iingxaki zombono, ezinje ngamehlo kunye nokuhla kwe-macular (AMD)

Abasetyhini abatshayayo ngelixa bekhulelwe banethuba elikhulu leengxaki ezithile zokukhulelwa. Iintsana zabo zisemngciphekweni omkhulu wokufa ngesiquphe sokufa kweentsana (SIDS).

Ukutshaya kukwabangela ukuba likhoboka le-nicotine, ichiza elikhuthazayo elikwicuba. Umlutha weNicotine wenza ukuba kube nzima kakhulu ukuba abantu bayeke ukutshaya.

Ziyintoni iingozi zempilo yomsi wecuba?

Umsi wakho awulunganga nakwabanye abantu - baphefumla umsi wakho kwaye banokufumana iingxaki ezifanayo nezabantu abatshayayo. Oku kubandakanya isifo sentliziyo kunye nomhlaza wemiphunga. Abantwana abachaphazeleka kumsi otshaywayo banomngcipheko ophezulu wokosulelwa ziindlebe, ukubanda, inyumoniya, i-bronchitis, kunye nesifuba. Oomama abaphefumla umsi ophefumlelweyo ngelixa bekhulelwe banamathuba okuba babelekwe ngaphambi kwexesha kunye neentsana ezinesisindo esiphantsi sokuzalwa.

Ngaba ezinye iindlela zecuba ziyingozi?

Ngaphandle kwemidiza, zikho nezinye iindlela zecuba. Abanye abantu batshaya icuba kwiicigars kunye nemibhobho yamanzi (hookahs). Ezi ntlobo zecuba zineekhemikhali eziyingozi kunye nenicotine. Ezinye iicigar ziqulathe icuba elininzi njengepakethe yecuba elipheleleyo.

I-cigarettes zihlala zikhangeleka njengecuba, kodwa zisebenza ngokwahlukileyo. Zizixhobo ezisebenzisa ibhetri. Sebenzisa i-e-cigarette ibizwa ngokuba yi-vaping. Akukho nto ingako iyaziwayo malunga nomngcipheko wezempilo wokuzisebenzisa. Siyazi ukuba ziqulathe inicotine, into enye ekwi-cigarettes. I-E-cigarettes ikwaveza abo bangatshayiyo kwii-aerosol ezisetyenziswa ngabantu (endaweni yomsi otshaywayo), oqulethe imichiza eyingozi.

Icuba elingenamsi, elifana nokuhlafuna icuba nelagwayi, nalo liyingozi kwimpilo yakho. Icuba elingenamsi linokubangela umhlaza othile, kubandakanya nomhlaza womlomo. Yonyusa umngcipheko wokufumana isifo sentliziyo, isifo seentsini, kunye nezilonda zomlomo.

Khumbula, akukho nqanaba elikhuselekileyo lokusetyenziswa kwecuba. Ukutshaya nje icuba elinye ngemini ebomini bakho kunokubangela umhlaza onxulumene nokutshaya kunye nokufa ngaphambi kwexesha. Ukuyeka ukutshaya kunokunciphisa umngcipheko weengxaki zempilo. Ukuqala kwakho ukuyeka, inzuzo enkulu. Ezinye izibonelelo zokuyeka ngokukhawuleza zibandakanya

• Isantya sentliziyo esezantsi kunye noxinzelelo lwegazi
• I-carbon monoxide encinci egazini (icarbon monoxide inciphisa ukubanakho kwegazi lokuthwala ioksijini)
• Ukujikeleza okungcono
• Ukukhohlela kancinci kunye nokuvutha
