The Ministry of Health warned about the dangers of smoking in hot weather

In the heat, the toxic effect of tobacco use increases, so smoking in hot weather is especially harmful, Yevgeny Bryun, chief freelance psychiatrist-narcologist at the Moscow Department of HEALTH and the Russian Ministry of Health, told RIA Novosti.

According to him, smoking on hot days is especially harmful because of the high load on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Brune explained that the toxic effect of both classic and e-tobacco is enhanced.

At the same time, the DOCTOR noted that when the body itself experiences hypoxia (lack of oxygen), the need for psychoactive substances decreases. However, "malicious smokers" do not notice this and smoke in their regimen, increasing the toxic effect. The result of this can be fainting, brain hypoxia, as well as a pre-stroke state.

Earlier, the DIRECTOR of the Khodanova immunocorrection center, general practitioner Lyudmila Lapa, reported on the dangers of smoking in the first days after vaccination against CORONAVIRUS infection. According to her, when smoking, as well as when drinking ALCOHOL, vasospasms and thickening of the blood occur. She believes that, as with infection with COVID-19 or other viruses, there are risks of sudden thrombosis. “To exclude them, you can’t drink [alcohol] and smoke,” the doctor explained.
