时差N小时 香烟,烟斗及雪茄的危害(下)

One study found that people who smoke pipes or cigars are more likely than non smokers¹ to have chronic² obstructive pulmonary disease.

一项研究发现,抽烟斗或雪茄的人比非吸烟者患慢性阻塞性肺疾病的几率要更大。

People with the disease have trouble breathing.

患上这种疾病的人通常面临呼吸困难。

Finally, if you're not already convinced, pipes and cigars can be just as addictive³ as cigarettes.

最后,如果你不相信,烟斗和雪茄会和香烟一样上瘾。

After all, you're still smoking tobacco laced with nicotine⁴.

毕竟,你还在吸食着含有尼古丁的烟草。

And even if you don't inhale⁵ deeply, the nicotine still seeps⁶ into your bloodstream through the lining⁷ of the mouth.

即使你不是深深吸入一口,尼古丁仍然会通过口腔粘膜渗入血液。

So bottom line, smoking tobacco is bad for you-period.

所以底线是吸烟仍然对你的健康造成周期性的危害。

Just because pipes and cigars may seem urbane⁸, there's nothing harmless about them.

仅仅是因为烟斗和雪茄看起来温文尔雅,表面看来并无危害。
