Some parents say they love their children, but they refuse to quit smoking! Recently, a news story widely circulated in the parent circle, attracting the attention of countless mothers.
I learned that after the fact, this 8-year-old girl named Qianqian had been coughing incessantly for a month, with a feeling of chest tightness and pain, and her sputum even contained blood. The parents initially didn't take it seriously, thinking that children's coughs and colds were normal, until her daughter coughed up blood, they decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. The check-up didn't show any serious problems, but the family was shocked.The hospital diagnosed: the child was in the late stage of lung cancer, with fluid accumulation in the chest cavity and cancer cells spread and transferred, the hope for treatment was very slim. The parents were stunned after hearing the news, and they couldn't believe it. The child is only eight years old, how could he have lung cancer in the late stage? It turned out that the girl's father had a smoking history of more than ten years, smoking two packs a day, and even when the child was present, the parents refused to give up smoking. And because the child was exposed to secondhand smoke every day, he got lung cancer in the late stage!
The father regretted his actions after hearing this, wishing he hadn't been greedy for momentary pleasure, which had harmed his child's life. However, when he woke up, it was already too late... This inevitably reminded me of a question someone once asked on Zhihu:
How much love can parents have for their children?

But how harmful is secondhand smoke? How scary is it? I don't think many people really understand. Today, I’ll find an experiment to let everyone feel it directly. The Hunan Satellite Broadcast’s ‘More Insights’ once imitated a human lung smoking experiment, workers burned eight cigarettes and collected inhaled fumes, then injected them into mice. As a result, after only 10 seconds, the mice experienced a brief excitement before dying directly. Next, they imitated a secondhand smoke environment, placing the mice in a smoke-filled environment. 1 minute and 30 seconds after, the mice began to twitch, and 3 minutes later, the mice died directly. The two experiment results prove that although the death time of the mice is different, the harm caused by direct smoking and inhaling secondhand smoke is the same! More frighteningly, data shows that if a child starts smoking from birth, by the time he is 5 years old, he is equivalent to having smoked 102 packs of cigarettes, which is 2040 cigarettes in total! Moreover, most parents may not know that secondhand smoke contains 250 kinds of toxic substances and 69 carcinogens.At least 200,000 children die each year because of secondhand smoke. Can parents still underestimate it? NO.2
In the background, we often receive complaints and appeals from mothers about their husbands’ smoking habits ▼ If I could give one piece of advice, I would like mothers to remember these seven words: ‘One persuasion, two arguing, three distancing’! Because as a mother, I don’t want to take any chances. Even if it’s just one in a million, I don’t want to gamble.”
