To the organism of a schoolboy could normally develop, his cells must receive the necessary amount of oxygen, nutrients. But not toxins from tobacco smoke.
Harm to smoking for teenagers and schoolchildren
Let's say that what you were afraid of has already happened. Your child told you that he smokes, and this is not the first cigarette, he is already dependent on smoking. How to help a student quit smoking? Not only should parents prohibit smoking, but children themselves should understand all responsibility to themselves and understand that smoking harms their health.
Hard breath
Anatomically, by the age of 12, the baby is completing lung formation. And physiologically it is completed by 18 years, and at some it is completed till 21 years. In the adult regime, all other organs work after adulthood. When smoking in the body receives a lot of carbon monoxide, after which it comes into contact with hemoglobin. The task of hemoglobin is that it transports oxygen to tissue cells. When carbon monoxide replaces oxygen and joins hemoglobin, it will lead to death due to oxygen starvation. As a result, all tissues and organs come "choking", namely, lack of oxygen. And as the body of the child is still growing, it can lead to great danger.
Smoking badly affects the cardiovascular, respiratory systems of a schoolboy. If the child began to smoke in the junior classes of the school, then by the age of 12 he will have shortness of breath and heart rhythm will be disturbed. According to observations of scientists, if the experience of smoking is a year and a half, then the teenagers have violated the mechanisms of breathing regulation.
Doctors note a deterioration in the state of health in young smokers - weakness, shortness of breath, cough. They have frequent ARI, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, frequent colds. There are adolescents who often have exacerbated chronic bronchitis.
Again the deuce
As much toxic substances and nicotine affect the child's mind. The younger the smoking teenager, the more violated the blood supply of the brain under the influence of nicotine. Smoking schoolchildren deteriorate coordination of movements, ability to logic, the volume of short-term memory, attention. Smokers adolescents suffer less in school, often overworked. The greatest number of juveniles is found among smokers.
The early hobby of tobacco leads to the fact that becoming an adult, a person is difficult to give up nicotine addiction. The child quickly forms nicotine addiction. Because at this age the nervous system is not mature, and the impact of the psychoactive substance - tobacco causes a much stronger effect on a child's health than an adult.
Think about the future
The adolescent under the influence of nicotine is disrupted hormonal status, which even by that time did not have time to form properly. Nicotine affects the endocrine glands, including the sex glands of girls and boys. As a result, the reproductive capacity of a person is violated in the future, there is the appearance of excess weight and underdevelopment of the whole organism.
For example, smoking schoolgirls have painful menstruation, they increase by 1.5 times compared with those girls who did not touch tobacco. If the first delay is made in childhood, by the age of 30 a person can be disabled with an overweight and a sick heart, with chronic lung disease. On the harm of smoking schoolchildren says the fact that his health will be much worse than that of a man in 50 years, who lit a cigarette after coming of age.
