TOPIC:SMOKING AND ITS EFFECTS
Nicotine is the addictive drug in tobacco smoke that causes smokers to continue to smoke. Addicted smokers need enough nicotine over a day to ‘feel normal’ – to satisfy cravings or control their mood. How much nicotine a smoker needs determines how much smoke they are likely to inhale, no matter what type of cigarette they smoke.
some of the most dangerous components are:
TAR:When you breathe in tobacco smoke, some tar is deposited in the lungs. Your lungs are lined with tiny hairs that help 'sweep' germs and other things out of your lungs. It is harder for these hairs to move if your lungs are coated with tar.
The tar in cigarette smoke contains chemicals called carcinogens, which encourage the development of cancer cells in the body.
CARBON MONOXIDE:Carbon monoxide binds itself to haemoglobin in the bloodstream and prevents it from carrying enough oxygen around the body. This means that someone who smokes is likely to get out of breath and get tired more easily.
Eventually, you can get a lung disease called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If you have this, it gets harder and harder to breathe.
OXIDANT GASES : oxidant gases are gases that react with oxygen. They make blood more likely to clot, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
BENZENE:Exposure to benzene can cause cell damage at the genetic level, and has been linked to a range of different cancers, such as leukaemia and kidney cancer.
Benzene used to be added to petrol, but the practice was stopped because of health concerns.
CANCER
One of the most dangerous effects of smoking is the increased risk of lung cancer.
Chemicals in tobacco smoke damage cells in the lungs and these then become cancer cells.
The chances of developing lung cancer are affected by how much an individual smokes and for how long.
HEALTH RISKS
The main health risks from smoking are lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. Smoking causes almost 90% of deaths from lung cancer, around 80% of deaths from COPD, and around 17% of deaths from heart disease.
