 What is SMOKING???

•There's no way around it.Smoking

harms nearly every organ of the
body.Cigarette smoking causes
87% of lung cancer deaths.
 Smoking
• These includes the lung disease,heart and
blood vessels disease ,stroke and cataracts.

• Women who smoke have a greater chance of

certain pregnancy problems or having a baby
die from sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS).
 Smoking
• Your smoke is also bad for other people-they
breathe in your smoke secondhand and can get
many of the same problems as smokers do.

• SMOKING is also called ...

Cigar smoking
Cigarette smoking
Pipe smoking
Tobacco smoking
 Why is smoking
harmful??
• Almost every organ in the body is damaged
when a person smokes.It weakens the body
and leads to many diseases.

• Around five million die yearly from tobacco

wherein one individual dies every eight
seconds.
• Each stick of cigarette has more than
4,000 chemicals and consuming it would
cut an individuals life for at least five
minutes.

• Others who are exposed to cigarette

smoke are also at risk from its chemicals
effects.
• The smoke contains hydrogen cyanide (a
deadly subtance used in gas chambers)
,insecticides,methanol and butane
fuels,benzene (causes leukemia) ,cadmium
and formaldehyde (used for embalming).

• Many of these chemicals have been

studied intensively over the past
decades.
• The chemical mixture (i.e..,cigarette
smoke) impairs the function of the
cardiovascular and respiratory system.

• It's accelerates atherosclerosis and

destroys the cilia in the lungs.
• Tar,nicotine and carbon monoxide are
subtances from tobacco that are among
the most harmful to health.
• TAR is harmful by product of smoking
cigarettes.
-This toxic subtance is carcinogenic and
accumulates inside the respiratory system.
-TAR build up disrupts clearing process of
the lungs and ruins air sacs.

• NICOTINE is a toxic chemical compound that

mostly consists nitrogen,which also makes
cigarettes addictive.
• Nicotine makes the heart beat fast,brings
lightheadedness and upset stomach.

• CARBON MONOXIDE is a poisonous chemicals

from burnt cigarette that makes the heart to do
more work to supply sufficcient oxygen in the body.

• Thus smokers have higher risks of having

cardiovascular diseases like angina and heart
attacks.
What are the kinds of
TOBACCO SMOKE??
• MAINSTREAM SMOKE commonly known as the
first-hand smoke is the smoke from its cigarette is
both inhaled and exhaled.

• SECOND HAND SMOKE is a very dangerous smoke

when taken in.It is the smoke puffed out by smokers
called environmental tobacco or “sidestream smoke”.

• THIRD HAND SMOKE refers to cigarette

offshoots which is attached to the smokers hair and
clothing as well as various surfaces like
walls,floors,furniture,chairs and toys.This will remain
in the environment even if the smoke is already gone.
 What's in a
cigarette???
• Do you actually know what’s in a cigarette?
A cigarette may look harmless enough and
you might think it’s just some tobacco leaves
covered in paper but it actually is a stick
containing lots of poisonous chemicals. When
a cigarette burns it release up to 4,000 toxic
chemicals all which are lethal to the body.
We know that 60 of these chemicals can
cause cancer.
Myths and
Facts about
Smoking
 1. Smokers live just as
long as non-smokers
MYTH! Smokers on average lose 10-15
years of potential life
 2. Smoking won’t affect my
health until I’m much older
MYTH! Even smoking a little can cause damage.
Research has shown that even "occasional" smoking,
smoking only a few cigarettes per day, or smoking
"without inhaling" can increase your risk of heart
disease and shorten your life. Smoking causes bad
breath, wrinkles and ageing of the skin in young
people.
Another problem with smoking "just a little" is
that most people can't do it for long.
Cigarettes are physically addictive. Because
cigarettes are addictive, most people can't
continue to be occasional smokers for long.
Soon, they find themselves smoking every day,
several times a day. And the more they smoke,
the more they are damaging their health.
3. Smoking is bad for your
heart

FACT! Smoking increases the risk of heart

attack, stroke, arthrosclerosis and CPOD.
Short term smoking increases teenagers heart
rates by 2-3 beats per minute at rest
compared to teens who don’t smoke.
4. Smoking is a personal choice
What do you think? Some people say smoking is a
personal choice and you choose to smoke every time.
Other people think that once you are addicted to
nicotine, it is not a personal choice and that’s why we
need to regulate things like marketing, displays,
smoking indoors. Also people who breathe in other
peoples smoke don’t do it by choice and are
involuntarily having their health affected.
5. 50% of lung cancer cases
are caused by smoking
MYTH! 95% of lung cancer cases are
caused by smoking or second hand smoke.
It is rare for someone to have lung
cancer who has never smoked. Quitting
smoking decreases your risk of developing
lung cancer. The longer since you've quit,
the greater the decrease in risk.
6. Smoking keeps you thin
MYTH! Smoking doesn’t make you thin.
Many people, especially young girls,
believe smoking makes them lose weight
and keeps them thin. Smoking kills your
taste buds and smell and therefore food
may not be as appealing, but there is no
evidence to show that smoking makes you
lose weight.
 7. Nicotine is the only
dangerous chemical found
in cigarettes
MYTH! There are over 7,000 different
and dangerous chemicals in cigarettes
with over 69 of them known to cause
cancer.
Cigarettes contain:
-arsenic (found in rat poison)
-ammonia (found in bleach)
-DDT (found in insecticide)
-methanol (found in plane fuel)
-hydrogen cyanide (found in poison
in gas chambers)
 8. A smoker will be just as fit as a
non-smoker when playing sports
MYTH! It is a well-known fact that smoking reduces fitness
levels. Carbon monoxide found in cigarettes replaces oxygen in
the body which makes it harder for the body to function
especially during exercise. Smoking replaces vital oxygen
which needs to be absorbed into the blood and muscles.
Inhaling smoke also restricts the airways and makes it harder
for the person to breathe and take in oxygen. Oxygen is the
fuel we need to create energy to keep running, exercising etc!
Smoking also increases the heart rate which during exercise
can impact on fitness.
 9. A nicotine addiction has similar
chemical characteristics to a
heroin addiction
FACT! Research has shown that how a smoker
addicted to nicotine behaves, is similar to a person
with a heroin addiction. A person grows a nicotine
receptor in their brain which they have to feed
regularly with a cigarette as the body will crave it.
When a person inhales it takes just 7 seconds for the
nicotine to reach the brain. That is why a person has
withdrawal symptoms when they quit smoking as the
body is craving a hit
10. Thirty per cent of cancers
worldwide are caused by
smoking
FACT! Smoking is responsible for 30% of
all cancer cases worldwide. Every year in
Ireland almost 6000 people die due to
smoking related illnesses. 16 people die
every day from smoking in Ireland.
Tobacco kills more than 7 million people
each year.
11. Rollies are healthier
than normal cigarettes
MYTH! Some people mistakenly believe that Roll-
your-own cigarettes are less harmful than factory
made cigarettes. This could be because they think
that loose tobacco is more "natural". However, many
of the 7000 chemicals in cigarette smoke come from
burning the tobacco itself. These include tar that
causes cancer. Researchers believe that rollies are as
harmful as or even more harmful than smoking
factory-made cigarettes!
Peer pressure and
smoking
We all know someone who smokes and most of
the time people begin to smoke because they
are offered a cigarette. Young people often
start to smoke because their friends smoke and
they want to fit or they can be pressured by
their friends to try smoking. Sometimes just
trying a cigarette can lead to an addiction to
smoking and years of trying to give up. Believe
or not 70% of smokers in Ireland wish they
never started and want to quit smoking.
Smoking can lead to:
Sagging and Wrinkly skin
Yellow teeth
Yellow fingers
Smelly breath
Fuzzy tongue
Dry and brittle hair
Red eyes
Can worsen psoriasis
 The top 10 things you
need to know about
SMOKING!!
1.About one-half of people who smoke
die from smoking related disease.
• It's scary, but it's true! Nearly 50% of people who
smoke will die from smoking-related health problems.
And on average, smokers will die 8 years earlier than
non-smokers. Smoking causes several types of
cancer - among them lung, bladder, and throat
cancers - and breathing problems like emphysema
and chronic bronchitis. Smoking can also contribute
to heart and blood vessel problems, including heart
disease, heart attack, and stroke.
The good news is that after you've stopped
smoking, the health benefits kick in right
away. Your risk of heart disease will start
to decrease, and after 15 years of not
smoking, your risk will fall to the same level
as that of a non-smoker. See "Health
effects of smoking" for more information.
2.Smoking can affect men and
women differently.
• While all people who smoke are at higher risk of the
above-mentioned health issues, men and women may
face risks unique to their sex. For example, women
who smoke increase their risk of cancer of the
cervix. And if a woman smokes and takes birth
control pills, her stroke risk is heightened as well. In
male smokers, fertility problems and low sperm
count become more common, and blood vessel damage
caused by smoking can lead to erectile dysfunction.
3.Cigarettes contain more than
4,000 chemicals, many of which are
cancer-causing.
• Although nicotine itself doesn't cause cancer, there
are many chemicals produced in cigarette smoke that
harm the body and can cause cancer. Chemicals
released by cigarettes include carbon monoxide, tar,
cyanide, benzene, and formaldehyde. And yes, you
are inhaling these chemicals into your lungs and
releasing the chemicals into the air around you! Want
more information? Read "What's in cigarette
smoke?"
4.You may have to try quitting several
times before you are successful.
• When it comes to quitting smoking, get ready
to try, try again. And know that if it takes you
a few tries to successfully quit, you are
definitely not alone! This is the case for most
people. Setbacks and relapses are natural
parts of the process of quitting for good.
Consider each setback a lesson learned, each
slip-up a source of new wisdom. A relapse is
only a bad thing if you don't learn from it!
5.Successfully quitting smoking is
not all about will power.
• Nicotine addiction can be very powerful, and even
the strongest-willed quitters can relapse. That's
because when you quit smoking, you are likely to face
two strong obstacles: craving and compulsion.
• Craving is a conscious drive that can be triggered by
things in your environment - like your daily habits
and routines (smoke breaks, after-meal cigarettes).
You can control cravings.
Compulsion, on the other hand, can be a forceful,
unconscious drive to smoke - despite the fact that
you know you shouldn't, despite knowing how bad it is
for you.
So, to really quit smoking, you may need more than
sheer will power: You need to prepare yourself with
tactics to help you avoid your "craving triggers," and
you need to be aware of the ways that the drug
nicotine can affect you both consciously and
unconsciously.
6.There is no best way to quit
smoking.
• Many roads can lead to a smoke-free life. A friend
may have told you that the patch worked wonders
for them, while your cousin swears by nicotine gum,
and your boss quit cold turkey. Everyone is unique,
and different methods of quitting will appeal to
different people. You have multiple methods to
choose from and try out. Discuss your quit-smoking
options with your doctor, and try a few until you find
what works best for you. Read "Ways to quit
smoking" for more information.
7.You don't have to quit smoking on your
own.
• Quitting smoking is difficult. But it can be less difficult if
you enlist the support of family, friends, your doctor, or a
counsellor. When you have a support system, you have
someone to turn to when you feel like giving in and lighting
up. Your supporters can be there to talk to you, join you for
a walk, or help get your mind off smoking. Although many
people can quit on their own, most people are more
successful if they receive counselling from a health care
provider.
8.You can significantly increase your
chances of successfully quitting if
you take the time to make a plan.
• Not having a quit-smoking plan can doom your efforts before
you even start! Get off on the right foot by thinking ahead
about potential obstacles and challenges you'll face when
you're trying to quit - especially in those tricky early weeks.
Your plan should include your pros and cons of quitting, a list
of folks in your support system (family, friends, doctor,
counsellor, etc.), the rewards you'll give yourself when you
do well, and strategies to help you handle cravings and
triggers. For more information, read "Preparing to quit
smoking."
9.A positive attitude can work wonders
when it comes to quitting smoking.
• Avoid criticizing or punishing yourself if
you have weak moments. Research shows
that beating yourself up doesn't usually
help - it only makes you feel bad, which in
turn, may make you want to reach for a
cigarette even more. Emotions are a
natural cause for cravings - so don't spark
them yourself!
10.If you quit smoking, your children
will be less likely to smoke
• You probably already know that second-hand smoke
from your smoking puts your child's health at risk.
But did you know that if you quit, you're also
protecting your children from future harm to their
health? When kids see parents or family members
smoking, they can come to think of smoking has just
a normal thing to do, and they are more likely to take
up smoking themselves. If you do smoke, quitting or
at least cutting back is the best example you can set
for your kids.
Facts about
Smoking
Smoking damages your lungs' natural
cleaning and repair system and traps
cancer-causing chemicals in. Smoking
permanently damages the alveoli (air
sacs) in the lungs, making it hard to
breathe.
It's common for smokers to ignore or
downplay the symptoms of lung damage:
Feeling out of breath when walking up a
short flight of stairs
Coughing
Spitting up mucous
Repeat chest infections
These are not signs of aging or simply being out
of shape. These are real signs of the damage
that smoking is doing to your lungs. If you have
these signs of smoke damage to your lungs, see
your doctor. Unless you do something now, these
symptoms will keep getting worse. Smoking
doesn't just damage your lungs. It puts you at
high risk for dozens of other serious diseases,
including cancer.
