Which is more harmful, tea cigarettes or cigarettes?

Relatively speaking, cigarettes are more harmful, because cigarettes contain nicotine, while tea cigarettes do not, which can reduce the harm to the body.

But the damage is only relative. Whether it is tea or tobacco leaves, a large number of toxic and harmful substances will be produced during the burning process, which will damage people's health, so quitting smoking is the right way.

The hazards of two kinds of smog are:

1. Traditional cigarettes will produce as many as 7,000 chemicals after burning, including nearly 70 harmful carcinogens.

2. Tea tobacco, as a new smoking substitute, has attracted wide attention from all walks of life in recent years.

After the tea leaves are ignited, the tea leaves will turn into smoke, producing dust particles and acting on people's lungs. At the same time, the human body can't degrade automatically, so this kind of substance will block the alveoli and cause harm to the lungs. Li Xiaoliang, a famous tobacco control medical expert, said in an interview.

Because the traditional way of drinking tea is to brew it with boiling water and then drink it, and it is absorbed into the human body through the gastrointestinal function, so it is a good thing. "If you smoke after burning, tea leaves will turn into smoke and act on people's lungs. Dust particles like PM2.5 can block alveoli and are only harmful to the lungs. "

Because tea contains caffeine, it will stimulate the nervous system of the brain and make people excited. At the same time, drinking tea for a long time will be more or less addictive. This "addiction" mainly comes from psychology and caffeine in tea.
