      Scientific research shows that drinking tea can reduce the harm of smoking, because the tea polyphenols, vitamin C and other components in tea have a degradation effect on various harmful substances contained in cigarettes. Smoking while drinking tea can continuously remove toxins as you drink tea and be excreted from the body through feces. Smokers often drink tea, which has four main benefits:
      
      First, it can reduce the risk of smoking cancer (cancer food) possibility. Drinking tea has anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. The tea polyphenols in tea can inhibit the release of free radicals and control the proliferation of cancer cells. Free radicals are a group of harmful "garbage" produced while consuming oxygen during the human body's respiratory metabolism process. It exists in almost every cell of the human body and is a major hidden danger and "ticking time bomb" of the human body.
      
      Research shows that free radicals are also an important cause of genetic mutation and carcinogenesis. Under normal circumstances, the human body is in a dynamic balance of continuous production and elimination of free radicals. The free radicals produced in cigarettes will destroy this dynamic balance. If there are too many free radicals, the possibility of causing cancer in the human body will also increase. The catechins in tea are an antioxidant and a strong inhibitor of free radicals, which can inhibit the occurrence of tumors caused by smoking. The tea polyphenols in green tea have a strong ability to scavenge free radicals, and they have a strong scavenging effect on superoxide anion free radicals.
      
      According to research, tea does have the ability to block the synthesis of nitrosamines in the human body; tea polyphenols can combine with carcinogens after entering the human body, decomposing them, reducing carcinogenic activity, thereby inhibiting the growth of cancer cells; green tea leaves are rich in anti-cancer substances, and their concentration is quite high, enough to produce anti-cancer effects in the human body. USA healthy (Health Food) Foundation Honorary President Dr. John Weisberg said: "My research results show that if you drink 6 cups of tea a day, you can avoid cancer." Therefore, smokers drinking tea can help reduce the occurrence of cancer.
