INTRODUCTION
Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned
and the resulting smoke breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the
bloodstream. Most commonly the substance is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant
which have been rolled into a small square of rice paper to create a small,
round cylinder called a "cigarette". Smoking is primarily practiced as a route of administration for recreational drug use because
the combustion of
the dried plant leaves vaporizes and delivers active
substances into the lungs where they are rapidly absorbed into
the bloodstream and reach bodily tissue. In the case of cigarette smoking these
substances are contained in a mixture of aerosol particles and gasses and include
the pharmacologically active alkaloid nicotine;
the vaporization creates heated aerosol and gas to form that allows inhalation
and deep penetration into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream of
the active substances occurs. In some cultures, smoking is also carried out as
a part of various rituals, where participants use it to help induce trance-like
states that, they believe, can lead them to spiritual enlightenment.
Smoking
generally has negative health effects, because smoke inhalation inherently
poses challenges to various physiologic processes
such as respiration. Diseases related to tobacco
smoking have been shown to kill approximately half of long-term
smokers when compared to average mortality rates faced by non-smokers. Smoking
caused over five million deaths a year from 1990 to 2015. Smoking is one of the
most common forms of recreational drug use. Tobacco smoking is the most popular
form, being practiced by over one billion people globally, of whom the majority
are in the developing countries. Less common drugs
for smoking include cannabis and opium. Some of the
substances are classified as hard narcotics,
like heroin,
but the use of these is very limited as they are usually not commercially
available. Cigarettes are primarily industrially manufactured but
also can be hand-rolled from loose tobacco and rolling paper.
Other smoking implements include pipes, cigars, bidis, hookahs,
and bongs.
Smoking is bad for your health. Smoking harms
nearly every organ of the body. Cigarette smoking causes 87 percent of lung
cancer deaths. It is also responsible for many other cancers and health
problems. These include lung disease, heart and blood vessel 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). 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. Cigarette
smoking harms nearly every organ of the body, causes many diseases, and reduces
the health of smokers in general. Quitting smoking lowers your risk for
smoking-related diseases and can add years to your life.
Cigarette smoking is the leading
preventable cause of death in the United States. Cigarette smoking causes more
than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States. This is nearly one in five
deaths. Smoking causes more deaths each year than the following causes
combined:
o Human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
o Illegal
drug use
o Alcohol
use
o Motor
vehicle injuries
o Firearm-related
incidents
More
than 10 times as many U.S. citizens have died prematurely from cigarette
smoking than have died in all the wars fought by the United States. Smoking
causes about 90% (or 9 out of 10) of all lung cancer deaths.1,2 More
women die from lung cancer each year than from breast cancer. Smoking causes
about 80% (or 8 out of 10) of all deaths from chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD).Cigarette smoking increases risk for death from all causes in
men and women. The risk of dying from cigarette smoking has increased over the
last 50 years in the U.S.
Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to
develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. Estimates show smoking
increases the risk:
o For
coronary heart disease by 2 to 4 times
o For
stroke by 2 to 4 times
o Of
men developing lung cancer by 25 times
o Of
women developing lung cancer by 25.7 times
Smokers
are at greater risk for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular
disease).Smoking causes stroke and coronary heart disease, which are among the
leading causes of death in the United States. Even people who smoke fewer than
five cigarettes a day can have early signs of cardiovascular disease. Smoking
damages blood vessels and can make them thicken and grow narrower. This makes
your heart beat faster and your blood pressure go up. Clots can also form. A
stroke occurs when:
o A
clot blocks the blood flow to part of your brain;
o A
blood vessel in or around your brain bursts.
Smoking
can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs
(alveoli) found in your lungs. Lung diseases caused by smoking include COPD,
which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Cigarette smoking causes most
cases of lung cancer. If you have asthma, tobacco smoke can trigger an attack
or make an attack worse. Smokers are 12 to 13 times more likely to die from
COPD than nonsmokers.
Smoking
can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body:
·
Bladder
·
Blood (acute myeloid leukemia)
·
Cervix
·
Colon and rectum (colorectal)
·
Esophagus
·
Kidney and urethra
·
Larynx
·
Liver
·
Oropharynx (includes parts of the throat,
tongue, soft palate, and the tonsils)
·
Pancreas
·
Stomach
·
Trachea, bronchus, and lung
Smoking also increases the risk of dying from
cancer and other diseases in cancer patients and survivors. If nobody smoked,
one of every three cancer deaths in the United States would not happen.
Smoking
harms nearly every organ of the body and affects a person’s overall health. Smoking
can make it harder for a woman to become pregnant. It can also affect her
baby’s health before and after birth. Smoking increases risks for:
o Preterm
(early) delivery
o Stillbirth
(death of the baby before birth)
o Low
birth weight
o Sudden
infant death syndrome (known as SIDS or crib death)
o Ectopic
pregnancy
o Orofacial
clefts in infants
Smoking
can also affect men’s sperm, which can reduce fertility and also increase risks
for birth defects and miscarriage. Smoking can affect bone health. Women past
childbearing years who smoke have weaker bones than women who never smoked.
They are also at greater risk for broken bones. Smoking affects the health of
your teeth and gums and can cause tooth loss. Smoking can increase your risk
for cataracts (clouding of the eye’s lens that makes it hard for you to see).
It can also cause age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is damage to a
small spot near the center of the retina, the part of the eye needed for
central vision. Smoking is a cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus and can make it
harder to control. The risk of developing diabetes is 30–40% higher for active
smokers than nonsmokers. Smoking causes general adverse effects on the body,
including inflammation and decreased immune function. Smoking is a cause of
rheumatoid a Cigarette smoking
harms nearly every organ of the body, causes many diseases, and reduces the
health of smokers in general.
