当前世界环境

成年人吸烟由于其日益令人上瘾的性质，已成为全世界严重的健康问题。烟草烟雾含有高度有害的气体和挥发性化学物质，会损害呼吸系统，降低肺功能。这项研究的主要目的是调查年轻受过教育的成年人中吸烟的原因、吸烟者的行为、社会责任、吸烟者的家族史以及严重的呼吸系统健康问题。调查是通过一些预先设计好的问卷和与我们研究对象相关的筛选来进行的。呼吸系统健康评估是通过基于问卷的个人访谈对不同的呼吸和非呼吸系统健康症状进行的。随后，对选定的个体进行肺功能或肺功能测试(LFT或PFT)，揭示吸烟者和非吸烟者的肺功能。LFT或PFT测试预测暴露和非暴露研究组的正常和异常呼吸模式。重要的发现表明，好奇心(72%)和表现聪明是成年早期(16至20岁)吸烟的主要原因。吸烟家族史也会影响年轻人开始定期吸烟。52%的吸烟者早上醒来后30分钟内吸烟。 Findings revealed that 50% of the heavy smokers smoke 11-15 units daily. The average weekly expenditure for the smoking materials was INR 100 to 150 (26.32%) rupees for smokers. Spirometric indices such as forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), percentage forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1%), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), showed a reduced performance of lungs in smokers as compared to their fellow non-smokers. This study has focused on the smoking behaviour of educated young adults and revealed the presence of different respiratory symptoms in smokers than non-smokers, which is an immerging health issue. The study revealed that smokers grouped are more susceptible to lung diseases than non-smokers in the future due to their reduced lung function capacity compared to non-smokers.
