Environmental and medical consequences of smoking: Impact on the environment and human health
Annotatsiya
Smoking is an important cause of coronary heart disease, as it contributes to the development of the atherosclerotic process. The primary factor in the development of coronary heart disease influenced by smoking is carbon monoxide. Nicotine contributes by raising blood pressure and heart rate, while carbon monoxide leads to heart failure. This can result in a myocardial infarction, which is the necrosis of a portion of the heart muscle due to disrupted blood supply. Smoking is harmful not only to the health of the smoker, but also to his family and employees. People who are constantly nearby regularly inhale smoke. Its excess indoors can cause dizziness, nausea and vomiting, cough, irritation of the mucous membranes of the eyes and throat, and allergy attacks. In non-smokers, tobacco smoke contributes to the development of the same diseases as in smokers.
