Generally, smoking is associated with lung cancer, because it is well known that smoking harms lungs. But with the popularization of health knowledge, more and more doctors and people have realized that smoking is not only bad for lungs, but also bad for the whole body, and this effect becomes more serious after the occurrence of other diseases in the body! For example, kidney disease.

Why kidney patients should give up smoking?
1. The large amount of nicotine in cigarettes can lead to glomerular ischemia, insufficient kidney blood flow, and aggravation of kidney disease when it enters the body. Nicotine also causes blood vessels to contract, raising blood pressure, which can further aggravate kidney disease.
2. Carbon monoxide in cigarettes can be combined with red blood cells in the first place to increase the content of carbon monoxide in the blood, and then the blood can transport less oxygen than before, due to which renal ischemia and anoxia occurs easily in kidneys. Anoxia is not conductive to the treatment of kidney disease.
3. Smoking is not conducive to the stability and normal blood lipids, and it can also induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which are the main causes of death in kidney patients.
4. Smoking can damage the lungs and affect the respiratory system. In the long run, it will cause a serious decline in lung immunity.
5. Smoking can reduce your life expectancy. If you smoke one cigarette a day, it will reduce your life expectancy by about 10 minutes. Although it is only an estimate, under the same conditions, non-smokers must live longer than smokers.
