The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that tobacco
caused 5.4 million deaths in 2004[6] and 100 million deaths
over the course of the 20th century
Lung cancer estimates for 2013 (Source: Cancer Facts & Figures
2013):
New cases of lung cancer: 228,190
Males: 118,080
Females: 110,110
Deaths from lung cancer: 159,480
Males: 87,260
Females: 72,220
Oral cancer is the 11th most common cancer in the world accounting
for 350,000 new cases and 128,000 deaths annually.
India alone accounts for one third of the worlds oral cancer and has
a high rate of premalignacy lesions

Nicotine

Is smoking tobacco really addictive?

Nicotine is an addictive drug just like heroin and
cocaine:
When taken in small amounts, nicotine creates
pleasant feelings that make the smoker want to
smoke more. It acts on the chemistry of the brain
and central nervous system,
Nicotine also gives you a little bit of an adrenaline
rush
Smokers usually become dependent on nicotine
and suffer from withdrawal symptoms includeirritability, nervousness, headaches, and trouble
sleeping.
In one regular cigarette, the average amount of
nicotine the smoker gets ranges between about 1
mg and 2 mg.

What are you doing

to your body?
Your skinThe chemicals in
tobacco dry out
your skin and
cause:
Premature aging and
wrinkles by 10 to 20 years
Discoloration of the skin
Damage to the blood vessels

Your mouth:
The thousands of chemicals in
tobacco coat the mouth and can
lead to:
Halitosis (bad breath)
Hairy tongue (reduces sense of
taste) Oral cancer (lip and
mouth)

Your Teeth:
Stained teeth (from the tar)
Cavities
Gingivitis (irritation and
swelling of the gums)
Periodontis (serious gum disease)

Your Lungs:
Chronic Bronchitis - Bronchitis (inflammation of the bronchial
passages) that recurs and does not permanently go away.
Smokers also get
more colds,
coughs, flu, and
other illnesses
(Like pneumonia)
due to their
weaker immune
system.

EMPHYSEMA- Emphysema damages the alveoli.

They become large and hard, and lose their ability

to exchange air. With damaged air sacs, you
cannot get enough air to breathe, and always feel
that you cannot catch your breath. Emphysema
has no cure and cannot be undone
LUNG CANCER- Lung

cancer is the most

common cause of
cancer death in both
men and women.
Smoking is the most
common cause of this
kind of cancer.
Unfortunately, lung
cancer is hard to cure.

Your nose

The thousands of chemicals

in tobacco smoke line the
passages of the nose when
inhaled and can cause:
Decreased sense of smell
Decreased immunity (cilia bogged down
with chemicals in smoke!)

Your Throat:
Cancer of the larnyx (voice box)
Cancer of the esophagus

Your Bones:

Did you know that

smoking decreases
the bodies ability to
absorb calcium?

Smoking weakens your bones, and this can

cause you to develop a disease called
osteoporosis as you grow older. Osteoporosis is
when your bones become thin and brittle, and
are more likely to break.

Smoking also impairs an athletes ability to perform as well.

The chemicals in tobacco can cause a rapid heartbeat,
decreased circulation and shortness of breath. Smoking also
affects the bodys ability to produce collagen, so common
sports injuries like those to ligaments and tendons, heal more
slowly in smokers.

Your Brain:
STROKEA stroke is a lack of blood flow to the brain, due to
a blockage in a blood vessel or bursting of a blood
vessel. Severe disability and even death can result
from a stroke. Smoking cigarettes is related to
high blood pressure and to hardening of the
arteries, both of which can cause a stroke.
Did you know...
Smoking and mental health problems are linked to each other in
complicated ways. Smokers have higher rates of several mental
health problems -- including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and
drug abuse -- than nonsmokers do.

Your Heart

The poisons in cigarette smoke are carried

everywhere the blood flows

Blood Vessels-

The chemicals in tobacco smoke cause

your blood vessels to constrict, or
become narrow, which allows less
blood through.

The nicotine in tobacco is a stimulant

drug that increases the heart rate and
blood pressure leading to high blood
pressure.

Hypertension

Heart Diseases-

Nicotine in cigarette smoke causes

blood vessels to become narrow,
reducing the oxygen supply to the
heart muscle. Smoking can also lead
to arteriosclerosis, which increases the
risk of a heart attack.

Digestive System
UlcersAn ulcer is a sore or hole in the stomach.
Nicotine in cigarette smoke causes extra
stomach acid to form. This extra acid can
lead to an ulcer. Continued smoking can
keep an ulcer from healing.

Stomach Cancer
The tar and other carcinogens in tobacco smoke can
cause cancer of the stomach

Increased risk of colon

cancer

If the mother is smoking during pregnancy,

the baby is smoking too!

Smoking and

The chemicals in tobacco smoke, specifically the nicotine and

carbon monoxide, reduce the amount of oxygen and other
nutrients the baby needs to grow and develop properly. Smoking
during pregnancy can cause:
Miscarriage and Stillbirth (Pregnancy ends )
Preterm labor (Go into labor too early)
Low birth weight (Organs may be
underdeveloped, especially the lungs)
Placental Problems
Increased risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant
Death Syndrome)

What is secondhand smoke?

Secondhand smoke (SHS) is also
known as environmental tobacco
smoke (ETS).

Second hand
DANGERS

SHS is a mixture of 2 forms of

smoke that come from burning
tobacco:
Sidestream smoke smoke
from the lighted end of a
How is it dangerous to nonsmokers?
cigarette, pipe, or cigar

Mainstream smoke the smoke Nausea, headaches, dizziness

exhaled by a smoker
Trigger allergic reactions and

asthma attacks
Cause emphysema , cancers, and
heart diseases
This is why smoking is BANNED
in public
places!
Children of smokers have more colds, flu, middle ear infections, allergies and
asthma than children of nonsmokers do!

Tobacco &
Diabetes

Smoking and Diabetes both

reduce the amount of oxygen
reaching your bodily tissues,
resulting in poor circulation.
Smoking raises your blood
sugar level making it harder to
control your diabetes.
Of people with diabetes who
need amputations, 95% are
smokers.

Circulation improves
Walking becomes easier

Risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a

smoker

Lung cancer death rate for average pack-a-day

smoker decreases by almost half

Stroke risk is reduced

Risk of mouth, throat and esophageal cancer is
half that of a smoker

When You Quit

Within 10 Years:

Lung cancer death rate is

similar to that of a person
who does not smoke.

The pre-cancerous cells are

replaced.

has never smoked.
