Description

The utility model relates to medical equipment, namely to a device for the prevention of smoking, which helps to wean a person from smoking.

Smoking exerts its detrimental effect on all body systems and is especially intensified in enclosed spaces and volumes. Recent studies in the United States have shown that out of 1,000 smokers, 250 people die from tobacco exposure before they reach the age of 70, and another 250 immediately upon reaching it. In 2000, in developed countries, smoking accounted for 30% of all deaths among men between the ages of 35 and 70. The incidence of a person increases by 3 times when smoking in a confined space (for example, in a car); many aromatic chemicals (resins, cokes, gases), some simple chemical compounds (vinyl chloride, chloromethyl ethers), as well as inorganic compounds and substances, such as lead, arsenic, chromium, cadmium, also have a negative effect on the human body (carcinogenic effect) . Especially a lot of these substances are in the atmosphere of large cities and central highways.

However, a special place in human diseases is given to smoking. Oxygen delivery to the heart muscle is severely disrupted due to the blocking of hemoglobin by blood carbon monoxide from tobacco smoke. This leads to serious damage to the heart and blood vessels. Smoking increases blood pressure, helps increase blood cholesterol, and increases the risk of myocardial infarction by 4-5 times. But the most important thing is a sharp increase in respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Moreover, this applies both to the smoker himself and to the “passive smoker” who is in the atmosphere of tobacco smoke.

The main reason for developing lung cancer is smoking. About 80% of patients with this pathology are smokers. Lung cancer spreads through the lymphatic and blood vessels to other organs - the liver, brain, bones, adrenal glands.

And the biggest threat here is the widespread smoking in our country among children and adolescents. In February 2008, statistics on smoking by children and adolescents by region were published and it turned out that over 70% of high school students have this bad habit. (V. Lykov “Smoking is not childish.” Labor. No. 554 of March 27, 2008)

Smoking in adolescence is especially dangerous because the body is not yet formed. The addiction affects mental and physical development: smoking children learn worse and get sick more often. Children are more prone to colds / they have reduced immunity. Smoking girls increase the likelihood of menstrual irregularities and infertility.

Nicotine itself is a poison of plant origin and is produced by the roots of tobacco plants and found in leaves. It is a blocker of n-cholinergic receptors in the sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia of skeletal muscles. In acute poisoning, nausea, vomiting and tachycardia, convulsions and respiratory depression (up to a complete stop) are observed. The lethal dose for humans with oral administration of 50-100 mg. ("Chemical Encyclopedia", M;

"Great Russian Encyclopedia"; 1999 g, TB, S-1052)

The human body contains nicotine derivatives in the form of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3) and its derivative nicotinamide (vitamin PP), they, together with bile acids, are secreted by the liver and take part in digestion, metabolism, regulate the activity of the higher nervous system, and affect processes hematopoiesis, normalize blood cholesterol. But they enter the body from animal plant products (liver, tongue, chicken, coffee, peas, beans, etc.) however, getting into the blood of a person in the form of nicotine, conversion to nicotinic acid and nicotinamide occurs in the liver and pancreas according to " an unplanned biochemical reaction, ”to which the smoker's body begins to adapt, and after a considerable time it is synthesized exclusively from incoming nicotine through the blood. For this reason, it is very difficult for a smoker to quit smoking immediately; headaches, excessive irritability, psychoses, and sometimes suffocation begin to accompany him. This is the body’s response to a new “glitch” in the body’s metabolism. Getting these enzymes from

digestive tract and lack of nicotine from the respiratory system, again leads to stress and the restructuring of the body.

Currently existing methods and means for the prevention of novice smokers and the treatment of long-smoking people do not allow solving problems at the state and local levels. This is primarily hypnosis, acupuncture and coding. The effectiveness of these methods is not high (10-15% of the total number of patients), however, with alcohol, it decreases to 2-3%. Also, caffeine-based homeopathic remedy Koffa, with weaker toxic properties, is a preventative method for smoking. The smoking cessation process is long and costly.

Nicotine patches containing 2-3 mg of nicotine, which is absorbed through the skin into the blood, are also known, but the effect of the application is not great, besides it can not be used by pregnant women, severe intoxication begins.

Tabex tablets containing the active substance “cytisine” are known from medicines, which, when interacting with receptors in the presence of nicotine, cause symptoms on the basis of an overdose, i.e. emetic effect. Contraindications of this drug include - disorders of the cardiovascular system, impaired liver function, renal failure, exacerbation of peptic ulcer.

The closest analogue to the proposed utility model is a “battery-powered cigarette” developed by New Zealand scientists, which is a mouthpiece, a replaceable nicotine cartridge and the cigarette itself with a red LED that creates the effect of a “burning cigarette”. When inhaled through the mouthpiece, finely dispersed nicotine enters the oral cavity, which, dissolving, enters the bloodstream. The nicotine content in the cartridge is -10, 20 mg and the effect here is considered not for the purpose of weaning from smoking, but for the purpose of eliminating smoke. However, due to the high cost (more than 200 US dollars), this product has not found its application.

The technical task of the utility model is the creation of a new effective device for completely weaning from smoking in a smoker, and also as a preventive measure in children and teenagers who begin to smoke.

The technical result of the proposed utility model is to expose the red monochromatic visible spectrum to the mucous membrane of the oropharynx.

The specified technical result is achieved in that the device for the prevention of smoking, comprising a cylindrical body, preferably made of paper, a transparent lens, a diffuser lens, a red spectrum monochromatic emitter, a red LED, a power source, a sealed contact, the device being in the form of a cigarette with lenses at the ends, where a transparent lens provides a red spectrum effect on the mucous membrane of the oropharynx of a person, and a lens-diffuser provides the effect of “burning a cigarette”, while devices, in amounts of 10 and 20 are stored in the capping pieces, preferably made of cardboard with a magnet on the flap, wherein the magnet provides launching device when the application.

The ability to achieve a technical result is confirmed by the following:

Based on clinical and experimental studies, a number of enzymes, structural components of cells and biological fluids that are sensitive to a specific light spectrum, in this case red, are known: catalase (Skupchenko V.V., 1990; Minenkov A.A., 1989), a complex of cytochromes ( Chudinovsky V.M., 1989), DNA polymerase (Matyushev V.B., Titov V.B., 1986), membrane systems of cells and cellular organelles (Mkheyan V.B., Gasparyan G.G., 1980).

The specific effect of the red spectrum on the mucous membrane of the oropharynx and blood in general is determined by the effect on a specific pathogenesis link, in particular, at the level of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. These receptors are activated by acetylcholine, releasing persaptic nerve endings. Receptors are designated as “nicotinic”, since the action of acetylcholine is reproduced by nicotine (Y. Kolman, K.-G.Rem “Visual Biochemistry” M., “Mir”, 2004, S-344). The biological activity of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors is facilitated by existing molecules - photosensitizers, which absorb precisely the quanta of the visible red spectrum. And the characteristics of such protein molecules primarily depends on the binding of molecules of agonists, antagonists, toxins and antibodies.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are present in the postsynaptic membranes of skeletal muscle fibers and in neurons of the nervous system. Receptors, being in active form, due to their excitation by red spectrum quanta, control the content of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide in the body. And when nicotine enters through the blood from the outside, an imbalance of acetylcholine receptors is formed in the brain stem, which is defined as an "overabundance" of nicotine derivatives in the body, which causes nausea. (J. G. Nickalls et al. "From the neuron to the brain" M., URSS, 2003 with -49-68).

Based on the above effects of the red spectrum, studies have been conducted with smokers. A group of 10 people was recruited from 28 to 49 years old, men, with smoking periods from 2 years to 35 years. Medical products “AVERS-Light” were handed out to everyone, in which the blue monochromatic emitters were replaced by red ones with wavelengths of 660, 670, 690, 700 and 720 nm. The method of use was to replace the desire to smoke a cigarette with an oral use of a device with a red monochromatic spectrum for 3-5 minutes. Within 1 day, replacing a cigarette with a device reduced the daily intake of smokers by 30-50%. By the end of 3 days, after using the device and trying to smoke, the first feelings of nausea and dizziness immediately began. On the seventh day, 6 people began to smoke 1-2 cigarettes a day with an uncomfortable feeling. In the remaining 4 people, smoking was carried out 5-7 times with symptoms of dizziness and nausea.

On the 10th day, 8 people stopped smoking altogether. When trying to smoke, after using the device, nausea immediately appeared.

By the end of 14 days, everyone stopped smoking. Including a 49-year-old man who smoked 40-45 cigarettes per day from 40 years old, who started smoking from 14 years old.

During the experiment, the consumption of water and sweets increased by 20-40%, the consumption of meat and fish products did not increase.

The results of the experiment served as the basis for creating a device for the prevention of smoking based on monochromatic emitters of the red spectrum.

In the proposed model, a red light spectrum (660-740 nm) is used, with monochromatic emitters preferably “LUMEX” (USA) or their analogues from other manufacturers.

Lenses are made of transparent plastic produced domestically for food products.

Materials for the device itself and capping are widely used in the paper industry in Russia.

Sealed contact "Reed switch" MKA -10110A is also produced by domestic industry.

The battery is preferably with a voltage of 1.5 V and a diameter of not more than 5 mm, for example, SR416SW, manufactured by SONY (Japan).

A general view of the device is shown in FIG. 1 (A-top view of an assembled sectional view; B is a view of an assembled closure).

The device consists of: a paper cylindrical body 1, a transparent lens 2, a diffuser lens 3, a monochromatic emitter 4, a red LED 5, a power supply 6, an airtight contact 7, a cardboard seal 8, with a hinged lid 9 and a magnet 10 located on it.

The proposed device operates as follows:

the cover 9 is tilted, the device 1 is removed and applied sideways to the magnet 10, the contacts of the "reed switch" 7 are closed and the monochromatic emitter 4 and LED 5 are turned on, lens 2 focuses the monochromatic red spectrum to affect the mucous membrane of the oropharynx, the device is taken into the mouth from the side of the lens 2, diffuser lens 3 creates the effect of a "smoldering spark"; battery 6 is designed for operation of a monochromatic emitter and LED for 5-7 minutes.

As the "smoldering light" fades out, the device is removed from the lips and thrown into the urn for disposal of batteries.

The effect of the monochromatic red spectrum on the mucous membrane of the oropharynx 5-6 times a day will provide prevention from smoking as a teenager,

and an adult, without causing damage to health and without maladaptation in the habits of a smoking person and his environment.

The proposed device has the following advantages:

- the use of monochromatic red emitters provides activation of the nicotine receptors of the body, which give an overdose signal when nicotine arrives from outside;

- the device activates the body's forces to combat nicotine addiction without damage to any human organ and without the use of synthetic chemicals;

- the process of weaning from nicotine addiction occurs without stress for the body and in a short time.
