If you keep doing this, you will definitely get this cancer.

Smoking and alcoholism are two bad habits that pose a huge threat to human health. Long-term smoking and drinking can cause many diseases and even induce malignant tumors such as gastric cancer.

In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer in my country have remained high, and have shown a clear trend of younger age. Research data shows that 80%-90% of stomach cancer is caused by oneself and has a lot to do with one's own lifestyle habits. Therefore, for the sake of your personal health, it is recommended that you quit smoking and drinking and get rid of bad habits as soon as possible.

30 years of smoking and drinking led to stomach cancer and regret

Old Wu, who lives in Xinhua Town, Panjin City, Liaoning Province, is in his early 50s. He makes a living by farming and has always been in good health. Besides working, he has two hobbies: smoking and drinking.

Old Wu started smoking homemade cigarettes when he was in his teens, and later switched to cigarettes, smoking about a pack a day, and has been smoking for 30 years. He has also been drinking for more than 30 years. In the early years, he drank homemade liquor in the town, and later switched to drinking Laobaigan, which has a higher alcohol content. He also has to drink wine with every meal, 3 taels each time, every day. During festivals, he would never put down his cigarette or drink, and would not stop until he was drunk.

As I got older, although I smoked and drank less than when I was young, I still didn't quit completely, and no matter how my family tried to persuade me, it was of no use. A while ago, Mr. Wu always felt choking when eating, his appetite decreased, and he continued to lose weight. He lost more than 10 pounds in a month, and he vomited frequently, and his stool was black and tarry.

In June this year, accompanied by his family, Mr. Wu went to the city hospital for a gastroscopy. The results shocked the family: the diagnosis showed that Mr. Wu had gastric adenocarcinoma, and it had developed to the late stage!

Gastric cancer is related to long-term smoking and drinking habits

In my country, the number of smokers has exceeded 350 million; the number of drinkers has also been on the rise, with the drinking rates for men and women being 84.1% and 29.3% respectively, of which 16.1% of men and 2.5% of women drink every day. Smoking and drinking are two bad habits that cause great harm to people's health. People who smoke and drink all year round are more likely to suffer from malignant tumors such as gastric cancer.

At the same time, smoking also stimulates the secretion of gastric acid and protease, aggravating the damage to the mucosa. Drinking strong liquor for a long time or in large quantities at one time will directly damage the gastric mucosal barrier, causing congestion, edema, erosion, and even bleeding, which in turn leads to diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, and increases the risk of cancer. ”

"In addition to smoking and alcoholism, which can cause stomach cancer, the following types of people are also at high risk of stomach cancer: people with long-term poor mental state, people with a family history of stomach cancer, people with irregular meals, people infected with Helicobacter pylori, people who like to eat bacon, people who like to eat too hot food, etc."

Special reminder: the early symptoms of gastric cancer are not very obvious. If you have bad eating habits such as smoking and drinking, once you have difficulty swallowing, or a foreign body sensation, or continuous hiccups that do not subside for a long time, you should pay attention to it and actively go to a regular hospital for examination to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
