Smoking cessation treatment with health insurance

Since April 2006, smoking cessation treatment has been covered by insurance.
This is not a mere habit or preference, but a nicotine addiction illness, with the necessary treatment.
Treatment is available to any smoker who meets certain conditions.

Harm of second-hand smoke

Smoking also affects the people around us.
There are two types of cigarette smoke: mainstream smoke (smoke that smokers inhale directly) and second-hand smoke (purple smoke that rises from cigarettes). The content of harmful substances is much higher in second-hand smoke, which makes it more irritating.

The idea of "quitting smoking" not only for yourself but also for people around you such as your family.
It is especially important when considering the health of infants.

(Smoking is greatly involved in the sudden death of infants during sleep)

Beware of misunderstandings! !!

Passive smoking cannot be prevented with an air purifier.

● Reason 1
Smoke is sucked in
only about 40 cm from the suction port for commercial use and within 20 cm for home use.

● Reason 2
I can't remove harmful substances.

Therefore, smoking cessation is the only way to prevent second-hand smoke.

主な症状は、いびきをかく、寝汗をかく、夜中に何度もトイレに起きる、日中の眠気、疲労感、集中力の低下、頭痛などです。また、睡眠中に酸欠になることで、心臓や脳など全身の臓器に悪影響を与えるので、高血圧や心臓病、脳卒中、糖尿病といった病気にかかるリスクが高まります

睡眠中1時間あたり何回呼吸が止まっているかを測定し、必要があればポリソムノグラフィーという脳波検査も組み合わせて睡眠時無呼吸症候群は診断されます。 

New treatment

Nicotine-free medications reduce nicotine deficiency symptoms such as irritability and make cigarettes less delicious .

Start once a day and gradually increase the dose during the first week of drinking.
Take it while smoking for the first week of drinking, and start smoking cessation on the 8th day.

Usually 2 weeks.

If you stop smoking naturally, quit smoking early without waiting for the 8th day.

Smoking cessation treatment schedule

CPAP(持続陽圧呼吸療法)の装置は、睡眠中にポンプからチューブを通して継続的に空気をマスクに送り込み、気道を確保します。

これによって、呼吸を正常に戻そうと覚醒を繰り返す必要がなくなり、より安らかな眠りが得られます。

CPAPは効果的で非侵襲的な治療法であり、良好な結果が得られるため、人気のある治療法です。

CPAP療法は、検査を行い一定の基準を満たせば健康保険の適用となります。その場合には、定期的な外来受診が必要になります

外来時に主治医と相談しながら、より良いCPAP療法を継続することが重要です。そのためにも必ず外来にかかるようにしてください。
