The dangers of smoking not only haunt the first person to enjoy it or passive smokers. Its ash ash can also be harmful to health if it comes into contact with someone in the long run, according to a recent study.
The result of cigarette burns in the form of small particles can spread in the air, attached to objects and even our bodies. The particles, according to the results of a study published in the journal Clinical Science, are toxins that can damage the liver and brain tissue.
Researchers identified the impact of exposure to cigarette ash on biological molecular markers found in serum, in liver and brain tissue. This investigation, although conducted on mice, according to researchers is also similar to that obtained by humans.
"We found that exposure to cigarette ash for at least a month can damage the liver, for two months the impact can be on molecular damage, and in four to six months more damage is caused to body tissues The mice we studied also experienced insulin resistance after exposure to cigarette ash which is prolonged, "said study leader Manuela Martins-Green, Professor at the University of California.
As reported by Zeenews, Monday (18/09/2017), damage to the liver will interfere with its ability to detoxify the body and exacerbate the damage caused by the rest of the cigarette burning in the body.
In addition, Martins-Green and his team of researchers tested the brain exposed to this toxic cigarette and found that stress hormones, such as epinephrine, increased a month after exposure to cigarette burns remaining. Other stress hormones seen in the second, fourth and sixth moons were found to cause fatigue in the rat immune system.
"The rest of this cigarette burn is a poison, a silent killer, which can be absorbed through the skin and airways.Although our research is not done in humans, we must start to be alert to the presence of these toxins in our homes, hotel rooms, vehicles that smokers often use because high contamination risk, "Martins-Green message.
