时差N小时 抽雪茄的危害(下)

 

One study found that people who smoke pipes or cigars are more likely than non-smokers to have chronic¹ obstructive pulmonary disease. People with the disease have trouble breathing. Finally, if you’re not already convinced, pipes and cigars can be just as addictive² as cigarettes. After all, you’re still smoking tobacco laced with nicotine³. And even if you don’t inhale⁴ deeply, the nicotine still seeps⁵ into your bloodstream through the lining⁶ of the mouth. So bottom line, smoking tobacco is bad for you–period. Just because pipes and cigars may seem urbane⁷, there’s nothing harmless about them.

一项研究发现，抽烟斗或抽雪茄的人比不吸烟者更容易患上慢性阻塞性肺病。得病的人会有呼吸困难。最后，如果上面这些还不能说服你，抽烟斗或抽雪茄和抽烟一样会让人上瘾。毕竟，你还在吸含有尼古丁成分的烟草。即使你不深吸气，尼古丁仍然通过口腔进入你的血液中。因此，结果是吸烟对你有害——就是这么回事。不会因为抽烟斗或抽雪茄看上去彬彬有礼，就证明那是无害的。
