Tobacco associated mortality in Mumbai (Bombay) India. Results of the Bombay Cohort Study Gupta PC, Pednekar MS, Parkin DM, Sankaranarayanan R Background Little is known about the excess mortality from forms of tobacco use other than cigarette smoking that are widely prevalent in India, such as bidi smoking and the various forms of smokeless tobacco use. We report on absolute and relative risks of mortality among various kinds of ever tobacco users vs never-users in the city of Mumbai, India. (n=99570) Results The adjusted relative risk was 1.37 (95% CI 1.23–1.53) for (men) cigarette smokers and 1.64 (95% CI 1.47–1.81) for bidi smokers, with a significant dose–response relationship for number of bidis or cigarettes smoked. Women were essentially smokeless tobacco users; the adjusted relative risk was 1.25 (95% CI 1.15–1.35). ConclusionsBidi is no less hazardous than cigarette smoking, and smokeless tobacco use may also result in significantly increased mortality. Intl J Epidemiol 2005;43(6):1395-1402
Tobacco consumption is a major source of mortality and morbidity in India. • Studies have shown contradictory results regarding smokeless tobacco use as a cardiovascular risk factor, but many show conclusive connection. • 2003 Study of adults males in a rural village in Haryana, northern India (chosen randomly)
smokeless tobacco • With smoke-free laws, smokeless tobacco (ST) products are being marketed as smoking substitutes: snuff, chewing tobacco, spitless pouched moist snuff, compressed tobacco lozenges. • A recent US study found no reduction in smoking rates among people using ST as replacement, although a previous (2006) Swedish study showed an overall country reduction in smoking with increased overall ST consumption.
Chemical Composition of ST Products • Similar to cigarettes, nicotine is the principal alkaloid • Amount of total and free nicotine varies substantially - generally, concentration similar in oral snuff and cigarette tobacco, somewhat lower in chewing tobacco • Minor alkaloids: nornicotine, anatabine, anabasine • Carcinogens: Combustion-derived Benzo[a]pyrene and other polycyclics lower than in cigarette smoking • Carcinogens: Nitrosamines - highest known nonoccupational exposure • Nitrite, nitrate, formate, chloride, sulfate, phosphate
Impact of Smokeless Tobacco Products on Cardiovascular Disease: Implications for Policy, Prevention and Treatment: A Policy Statement From The American Heart Association 2010 • Long-term use of smokeless tobacco products increases the odds of fatal heart attack or fatal stroke (according to analysis of several studies). • The AHA advises against smokeless tobacco products for smoking cessation - they are not a “safe” alternative to smoking, and carry the risk of addiction and return to smoking.
The Effects of Second-Hand Smoke Short-term effects of second-hand smoke: • Coughing • Headache • Eye irritation • Sore throat • Sneezing and runny nose • Feeling sick • Breathing problems (and possibly an asthma attack) • Irregular heartbeat (a particular problem for people with heart disease) Long-term effects of second-hand smoke: • Worsening of chest problems and allergies like asthma, hay fever, bronchitis and emphysema • Increased risk of heart disease • Increased risk of lung cancer • Pregnant women exposed to second hand smoke can pass on the harmful gases and chemicals onto their babies.

Smoking and coronary artery disease History Epidemiology CV Effects Importance of Cessation Nicotine addiction
b2 b2 a4 a4 b2 4b2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) Mechanism of Action of Nicotine in the Central Nervous System • Nicotine binds preferentially to nAChRs in the central nervous system; one key area is the α4β2 nicotinic receptor in the VTA • After nicotine binds to the α4β2 nAChR in the VTA, dopamine is released in the nAcc which is believed to be linked to reward
The Cycle of Nicotine Addiction Dopamine • Nicotine binding causes an increase in release of dopamine1,2 • Dopamine gives feelings of pleasure and calmness1 • competitive binding of nicotine to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors causes prolonged activation, desensitization, and upregulation2 Nicotine • Jarvis MJ.

(varenicline)A Selective 42 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Partial Agonist
Champix (varenicline): A Highly Selective 42 Receptor Partial Agonist Nicotine Varenicline Binding of nicotine at the 42 nicotinic receptor in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) is believed to cause large amounts of dopamine to be released at the Nucleus Accumbens (nAcc) Varenicline is an 42 nicotinic receptor partial agonist, a compound with dual agonist and antagonist activities. This is believed to result in both a lesser amount of dopamine release from the VTA at the nAcc as well as the prevention of nicotine binding at the 42 receptors Binding of nicotine at the 42 nicotinic receptor in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) is believed to cause release of dopamine at the Nucleus Accumbens (nAcc) 1.
