7. TOBACCO-CONSUMPTION "Ek Chutki Jhahar"

8. Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. • It is currently responsible for the death of 1 in 10 adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). • 90% of new smokers are 18 or younger • More than 8 million children alive today will die prematurely from smoking- related illnesses. • If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. • Half the people that smoke today -that is about 650 million people- will eventually be killed by tobacco.

9. Effects of Tobacco consumption • Increased risk of Cancer • Heart Strokes & Heart Disease • Lung Cancer • Sinus disease • Chronic obstructive Lung disease • There is a significant increase in risk of Lung, Larynx, Throat, Esophagus, Pancreas & Colon -rectal Cancers along with increase risk of Coronary Artery Disease Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis & Strokes.

10. Laryngeal (Voice Box) Cancer Over 90% of laryngeal cancers are caused by smoking. Lung Cancer Smoking causes 87% of all lung cancer cases Chronic Hoarseness and Laryngeal Polyps Chronic smokers often develop a persistent hoarse voice with edema of the larynx and formation of vocal cord polyps.

11. Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure & Stroke. Nicotine, the major drug in tobacco constricts blood vessels, increasing blood pressure and the work of the heart. Constricting blood vessels also decreases blood flow to the body's tissues, resulting in decreased healing. These effects are exacerbated by diseases such as diabetes.

12. The ill effects of Smoking affects lungs, heart and other systems of the body and reduces life span. The diseases of the lungs are Asthma, or difficulty in breathing and oxygen shortage in the inhaled air with its attendant effect on the functioning of heart, direct effect on heart due to de-oxygenation of blood, leading to heart attack, deposition of plaques in the arterial walls causing high blood pressure and subsequent heart failure

13. It has been found that the burnt paper coating in the cigarette can give rise to carcinogens which can cause lung cancer for which no effective remedy is available now. A high percent of patients with Lung Cancer has a long history of Tobacco use like cigarette smoking, Tobacco chewing etc.

14. Smoking May Dim Thinking Skills Researchers found long-term cigarette smoking was associated with diminished thinking skills as well as lower IQ among a group of alcoholic and nonalcoholic men. Previous studies have shown that long-term alcoholism dims thinking skills and eventually lowers IQ, and researchers say 50%-80% of alcoholics are also smokers. Researchers say they suggest that smoking may account for a portion of the mind-numbing effects normally associated with alcoholism.

15. "The exact mechanism for smoking's impact on the brain's higher functions is still unclear, but may involve both neurochemical effects and damage to the blood vessels that supply the brain," "This is consistent with other findings that people with cardiovascular disease and lung disease tend to have reduced neurocognitive function."

16. Smoking may hamper a Man's fertility Smoking may hamper a man's fertility, according to a small study funded by cigarette company Philip Morris. Scientists at the University of Buffalo compared sperm from screened sperm donors to sperm from 18 male smokers. In lab tests, the smokers' sperm was less likely to bind tightly to an egg -- a necessary step for fertilization. The results were presented in Montreal at the American Society of Reproductive Medicine's annual meeting.

17. Researcher's Comments "Specialized testing clearly reveals a significant drop in fertility potential for men who are heavy tobacco smokers," says researcher Lani Burkman, PhD, in a news release. Men who smoke also "should be aware that smoking can damage their sperm DNA, passing on faulty DNA to their baby. Concerned smokers should quit or be tested in a local andrology laboratory,” says Burkman.

18. Smoking and Sperm "Like other cells in the body, human sperm carry a receptor for nicotine, which means they recognize and respond to nicotine," Burkman explains. In previous lab tests, the researchers had exposed sperm to nicotine. That "significantly altered" three important sperm functions,

19. Second Hand Smoke Passive smoking occurs when a person breathes in environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Secondhand smoke is defined as the smoke which is exhaled by the smoker plus the smoke created by the smouldering of a lit cigarette. Secondhand smoke is full of toxins, and is dangerous to anyone who breathes it in.

20. Respiratory Health Effects of Passive Smoking Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke is responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths each year in nonsmoking adults and impairs the respiratory health of hundreds of thousands of children. More than just a gray cloud Secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoke and environmental tobacco smoke, is a mixture of two types of smoke.

21. Here are a few other chemicals in tobacco smoke that might sound familiar, along with their effects Ammonia — irritates your lungs Carbonmonoxide — hampers breathing by reducing oxygen in your blood Methanol — toxic when breathed or swallowed Hydrogencyanide — interferes with proper respiratory function Nicotine — the highly addictive ingredient that makes smoking so difficult to stop — though this presents less of a health problem than the other substances.

22. Cigarette /Biddi /Pipe /Hukka Smoking – A very Serious Health Hazard We pick up cigarette smoking habit unaware of it deleterious consequences to our health. We develop this habit due to physiological, psychical/psychological and social reasons. The physiological reason is that the nicotine contained in the cigarette stimulates our brain and the smoker feels well being. OR It appears to be a pleasurable experience, though short lived. Psychical reason is that it releases one from mental and emotional tension.

23. It is due to inner weakness and lack of mental courage to face the objective situation which is stress inducing that one adopts to smoking. Same psychodynamic mechanism works in the case of those who are alcohol or drug dependent. When a person is able to remove stress by being one calm and composed by practicing Relaxation techniques, Meditation etc will be able to stop smoking. Social factors are imitation of peers, to give them company etc. A person may pick up the habit when he is in the circle of his friends

24. Quitting Smoking Offers Psychological Benefits Unsuccessful attempts may change perceptions of Health Risk Researchers from Arizona State University and Indiana University found that after a 6-year period, smokers who succeeded in quitting reported less stress and did not experience increases in negative moods, such as depression or nervousness. Successful quitters also came to view smoking as being less beneficial psychologically and more harmful to their health, compared to their perceptions when they were smokers.

25. Parents who quit smoking may reduce the likelihood that their adolescent will smoke, but this benefit is clearest in families in which the other parent is also a non-smoker. Non-smoking and ex-smoking parents may reduce adolescent smoking because they have negative implicit attitudes towards smoking and because they provide anti-smoking parenting. Families with two non-smoking parents and with parents who have negative implicit attitudes toward smoking may be most effective because they most clearly and consistently communicate anti-smoking messages to their adolescents.

26. Do & Don’t If you smoke, stop. Consult your physician for help, if needed. And remember: more than 55 million Indians have successfully quit smoking -- you can do it, too. Do not smoke around your spouse and other family members, and especially not around children, whose developing lungs can be particularly vulnerable to secondhand smoke. The same goes for your pets, as they, too, can be adversely affected by tobacco smoke.

27. If you have household members who smoke, help them to stop. Ask visitors, to smoke outside of your home or offices. • Don't allow smoking in your car. • If you are expecting a baby, quit smoking. Never smoke around a newborn or infant. • Be certain your children's schools and daycare facilities are smoke-free; do not allow babysitters or other workers at your home to smoke in or around your home. • Be sensitive to the places where you're most likely to encounter secondhand smoke and avoid them, if possible. • Give your business to establishments that are smoke-free.

28. The following places are more prone to • secondhand or passive smoke • Bars and lounges • Public restaurants • Sports events, music concerts, fairs, and other places of entertainment • Places of outdoor recreation • The workplace, particularly factories and construction sites • If people are smoking in your presence, you can ask them politely to extinguish their smoking materials. If this is not possible, you can just leave, thereby taking responsibility for your own health.

29. Be aware of smoking laws. You're legally protected against secondhand smoke exposure in many situations, such as on all domestic flights of six hours or less and on all interstate bus travel. Many states have laws prohibiting smoking in public facilities, such as schools, hospitals, airports and other public buildings. As a responsible citizen, you can contact your local, state, and national legislators, asking them for tougher laws protecting nonsmokers from secondhand smoke. Tell them you have studied and know the health risks involved, and that you want decisive legislative action to protect yourself, your family, and your community.
