How do Cigarettes Affect the Body?

Cigarettes aren’t good for us. But how exactly do cigarettes harm us? Let’s look at what happens as their ingredients make their way through our bodies, and how we benefit 1 when we finally give up smoking.

Inside the airways and lungs, smoke increases the 2 of infections as well as long - lasting diseases. It does this by damaging the tiny hair - like tissues which keep the airways clean. That’s one of the reasons smoking can lead to oxygen loss and 3 of breath.

Within about 10 seconds, the bloodstream carries a stimulant called nicotine to the brain, creating the 4 sensations which make smoking highly addictive. Nicotine and other chemicals from the cigarette, at the same time, cause tightness of blood tubes, restricting blood flow. These effects on blood tubes lead to 5 of blood tube walls, increasing the possibility of heart attacks and strokes.

Many of the chemicals inside cigarettes can activate dangerous 6 in the body’s DNA that make cancers form. In fact, about one of every three cancer deaths in the United States is caused by smoking. And it’s not just lung cancer. Smoking can cause cancer in multiple tissues and organs, as well as damaged eyesight and 7 bones. It makes it harder for women to get pregnant. And in men, it can cause long-term damages of body functions.

But for those who quit smoking, there’s a huge positive upside with almost 8 and long-lasting physical benefits. A day after ceasing, heart attack risk begins to decrease as blood pressure and heart rates 9. Lungs become healthier after about one month, with less coughing. After ten years, the chances of developing fatal lung cancer go down by 50%, probably because the body’s ability to repair DNA is once again restored.

There’s no point pretending this is all easy to achieve. Quitting can lead to anxiety and depression. But fortunately, such effects are usually 10. Advice and support groups and moderate intensity exercise also help smokers stay cigarette - free. That’s good news, since quitting puts you and your body on the path back to health.

In between all the measures to battle the severe air pollution levels in Delhi, there’s one more option for you — a bar that has “pure air”. Delhi’s first-ever oxygen bar — named “Oxy Pure” — offers 15 minutes of 80-90 percent pure oxygen starting from Rs 299.

The bar, 1 in May, also offers its customers several aromas(香味)to choose from that can be filled with oxygen. The aromas include lemongrass, cherry, mango and more.

Customers are given a lightweight tube, used for supplementary oxygen 2. The device is placed near the customer’s nose through which they are advised to breathe in the aroma-filled oxygen.

According to the aroma you choose, each session 3 to improve one’s sleep patterns and digestion, cure headaches and even claims to work as a remedy for 4.

“I was passing by and saw that they were offering pure oxygen. I thought I would give it a try and went for the lemongrass flavour. It was 5,” Manjul Mehta, a customer at Oxy Pure told Delhi Daily.

Speaking to Delhi Daily, Bonny Irengbam, senior sales assistant at the bar, said customers were 6 positively after a few sessions.

“Some people, who try it for the first time, will feel relaxed and fresh. But only people who undergo the sessions regularly will get real 7 of the aroma,” he added. “Though we have regular customers, we don’t encourage back-to-back sessions, as 8 levels of oxygen in the body can make a person dizzy. It is 9 to do it once or twice a month or to stick with the 10-15 minute sessions a day,” he said.

Dr. Rajesh Chawla, a senior consultant in medicine said that though such sessions do not have any side-effects, it does not help in the long run either. “Even if you breathe in the so-called pure oxygen for two hours in a day, you will go back to breathing the polluted air for the rest of the 22 hours”, he said. He added that the concept is purely a(n) 10 move.

Why Do Chinese Parents Prefer Legos to Barbies?

The toy industry is growing by 9% annually in the country, but the Danish firm’s Chinese arm notches up “very strong double digits,” says Paul Huang, its boss.

It has done so even as the brick maker’s global business has looked shakier. In 2017 Lego cut 1,400 jobs and 5 its first drop in revenues and profits in over a decade. But last year both ticked up again, by 4% each. Lego has thus 6 its status as the world’s biggest toy-maker, taken from Mattel in 2014 -- even as its American rival last year 7 its highest revenues in five years from its Barbie dolls.
