Smokers who eat more fruits and vegetables can reduce their risk of lung cancer.

Many people, especially "white-collar" workers with a fast pace of work, find it difficult to quit smoking because they believe that smoking can refresh them and that they won't have "inspiration" without it. What they don't realize is that relying on smoking for a boost is like "whipping a tired horse," which not only fails to refresh but, over time, actually depletes one's energy.

Smokers feel that tobacco is "refreshing" mainly because nicotine can stimulate the nervous system in a short period. However, over time, it leads to toxin accumulation, causing the nerves to reach a "peak" after a brief stimulation. This increases the nerve's excitation threshold, gradually requiring stronger stimuli for the body to become excited, which in turn makes reactions sluggish in normal situations. At the same time, large amounts of nicotine can damage the bronchial mucosa, easily causing small airway obstruction, which leads to a decline in overall lung function and a reduction in the body's overall physical strength.

Carrot and Rose

Consuming more green, yellow, and orange fruits and vegetables rich in β-carotene can reduce the risk of lung cancer. This protective effect is particularly significant for current smokers or former smokers.
