Ways to Reduce the Health Risks of Cigarettes in the Next Decade

Abstract

In modern life, people are always troubled by various stresses, and many people think that smoking is a good way to relieve stress, so whenever they feel tired or encounter difficulties, they choose to smoke to relieve stress. It is one of the major public health issues worldwide. People are more likely to develop various cancers as the amount of cigarettes they smoke increases. Smoking affects our respiratory system (chronic bronchitis, emphysema), digestive system (overproduction of gastric juice and saliva), and nervous system (mental decline, stroke). Over the past two decades, a series of measures have been taken at the national and scientific levels to address the impact of smoking on human health. In 2004, scientists developed e-cigarettes as an alternative to traditional cigarettes. Later, at the biological level, scientists conducted research on drug treatment and reducing the nicotine content of tobacco leaves, and both made significant discoveries.
