In a supermarket in Qingdao's bustling neighborhood, Wang Ming, a senior engineer in the IT industry, is standing in front of the cash register, ready to check out. His shopping basket was full of groceries, and a pack of cigarettes in his hand was about to be lit.
It so happened that his old classmate, Dr. Wang, came over and noticed the pack of cigarettes. Dr Wong is a conscientious doctor who understands the health risks of smoking. So, he and Wang Ming started a discussion about smoking and the risk of lung cancer.
Wang Ming has always believed that the relationship between smoking and lung cancer has been exaggerated, and he firmly believes that he has smoked for many years but is still healthy. However, Dr. Wang patiently explainedWhile not all smokers develop lung cancer, smoking does significantly increase the risk of lung cancer.
He further explained that according to statistics, out of 10,000 people who smoke for a long time, there may be several hundred people who will develop lung cancer as a result of smoking. This percentage is much higher than that of non-smokers. Apart from lung cancer, smoking has also been linked to several other types of cancer, such as laryngeal cancer, oral cancer, esophageal cancer, etc.
Dr. Wang's words shocked Wang Ming. He never imagined that smoking would cause such a potential harm to his health. He decided to re-examine his lifestyle and seriously consider the importance of quitting smoking.
Many smokers often take chances, believing that they will not be the "one in 10,000 unlucky", but the truth is that every puff of cigarettes smokes increases the likelihood of getting sick.
Through Ming's experience and Dr. Wang's advice, we have learned an important truth: it is important for everyone to recognize the dangers of smoking and make up their minds to quit. Smoking is not only harmful to one's health, but also to the people around you who are harmed by secondhand smoke.
Quitting smoking isn't easy, but it's worth it. Because health cannot be replaced by anything.
Similarly, if you or your family members have the habit of smoking, for the sake of health, you should also have a cancer screening every year, which is not a substitute for ordinary physical examination, because ordinary physical examination cannot detect early cancer, but early cancer screening is possible, early detection **early**.
