Quitting smoking:
  • improves health status and enhances quality of life.
  • reduces the risk of premature death and can add as much as 10 years to life expectancy.
  • reduces the risk for many adverse health effects, including poor reproductive health outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cancer.
  • benefits the health of pregnant women and their fetuses and babies.
While quitting earlier in life yields greater health benefits, quitting smoking is beneficial to health at any age.
Quitting smoking is the single best way to protect family members, coworkers, friends, and others from the health risks associated with breathing secondhand smoke.

This is due to the fact that nicotine withdrawal often produces symptoms like anxiety and irritability that are relieved by smoking. 
Quitting is a chance to be who you want to be and allows you to feel more comfortable in social situations. With most public and work places now smoke free, being a smoker can increase barriers to socialising. Ex-smokers have less stress and anxiety than before they quit. By quitting smoking you are saving your money. You don't pollute the environment. If parents don't smoke their children will leave in healthy shape. People who smoke have bad breath. People who don't smoke live a long life. ]]> 2022-04-07 11:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/madox80/ixfpsdd4kfsmflew/wish/2134404061 Statistics https://padlet.com/madox80/ixfpsdd4kfsmflew/wish/2134404398 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), smoking is about to become the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. There are currently an estimated 1.1 billion smokers worldwide. Of this total, about 300 million (200 million men and 100 million women) are in developed countries; In developing countries, smokers are three times more likely (about 800 million), the vast majority of whom are men, but there is an increase among women. Overall, 30% of adults (48% of men and 12% of women) are smokers. Smoking is a major health risk. He kills six people every minute, and one in four smokers dies from a tobacco-related illness. In 2002, smoking killed 4 million people, including 1.2 million Europeans. By 2020, this death knell will bring the death toll to 10 million smokers a year. The most affected are the transition and developing countries, due to factors related to trade liberalization, communications development and the globalization of the transnational tobacco industries.                  Smoking is estimated to account for 90% of deaths from lung cancer, 75% of deaths from bronchitis and emphysema, and about 25% of deaths from cardiovascular disease. Statistically, cancer is, both in the world and in our country, the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular disease. The risk of cancer in biochemically proven active smokers was 7.8 times higher than in non-smokers and is as high in men as in women. Lung cancer is the most common neoplasm caused by smoking, the leading cause of cancer mortality in the world (17% of neoplasms in men and 12% in women).]]> 2022-04-07 11:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/madox80/ixfpsdd4kfsmflew/wish/2134404398 Passive smoking https://padlet.com/madox80/ixfpsdd4kfsmflew/wish/2134404441 Passive smoking (secondhand smoke) is when you breathe in the smoke from other people's cigarettes, cigars or pipes. It is a serious health threat - being exposed to tobacco smoke for just a moment can cause harm. Unborn babies, children and people with breathing problems are most at risk. Secondhand smoke causes nearly 34,000 premature deaths from heart disease each year. Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or at work increase their risk of developing heart disease by 25–30%. Secondhand smoke increases the risk for stroke by 20−30%.]]> 2022-04-07 11:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/madox80/ixfpsdd4kfsmflew/wish/2134404441 Chemical compounds of cigarettes https://padlet.com/madox80/ixfpsdd4kfsmflew/wish/2134406486 There are over 7 thousand chemical compounds in cigarettes of which many are harmful.

For example there are neck cancer and asthma.

NECK CANCER
Cancers that are known collectively as head and neck cancers usually begin in the squamous cells that line the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck (for example, those inside the mouth, throat, and voice box). These cancers are referred to as squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Head and neck cancers can also begin in the salivary glands or muscles or nerves in the head and neck

SYMPTOMS
Head and neck cancer symptoms may include a lump in the neck or a sore in the mouth or the throat that does not heal and may be painful, a sore throat that does not go away, difficulty in swallowing, and a change or hoarseness in the voice. These symptoms may also be caused by other, less serious conditions. It is important to check with a doctor or dentist about any of these symptoms.

TREATMENTS
Head and neck cancer treatment can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of treatments.


ASTHMA
Asthma is a disease that affects your lungs. It is one of the most common long-term diseases of children, but adults can have asthma, too. Asthma causes wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing at night or early in the morning.

SYMPTOMS

  • Shortness of breath
  • Chest tightness or pain
  • Wheezing when exhaling, which is a common sign of asthma in children
  • Trouble sleeping caused by shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing
  • Coughing or wheezing attacks that are worsened by a respiratory virus, such as a cold or the flu

TREATMENTS
Asthma can't be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled. Because asthma often changes over time, it's important that you work with your doctor to track your signs and symptoms and adjust your treatment as needed.

It is a cancer that forms in tissues of the lung, usually in the cells that line the air passages. It is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. There are two main types: small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. These two types grow differently and are treated differently.

SYMPTOMS

  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • A cough that doesn't go away or gets worse over time
  • Trouble breathing
  • Wheezing
  • Blood in sputum (mucus coughed up from the lungs)
  • Hoarseness
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight loss for no known reason
  • Fatigue
  • Trouble swallowing
  • Swelling in the face and/or veins in the neck

RISK
  • Smoking is the most important risk factor for lung cancer. Tobacco smoking causes about 9 out of 10 cases of lung cancer in men and about 8 out of 10 cases of lung cancer in women. The earlier in life you start smoking, the longer you smoke, and the more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your risk of lung cancer. The risk is also greater if you smoke a lot and drink alcohol every day or take beta carotene supplements. If you have quit smoking, your risk will be lower than if you had kept smoking. But you will still have a higher risk than people who never smoked.
  • Secondhand smoke, which is the combination of smoke that comes from a cigarette and smoke breathed out by a smoker. When you inhale it, you are exposed to the same cancer-causing agents as smokers, although in smaller amounts.

TREATMENT

  • Surgery
  • Chemotherapy
  • Radiation therapy
  • Immunotherapy
  • Laser therapy, which uses a laser beam to kill cancer cells
  • Endoscopic stent placement. An endoscope is a thin, tube-like instrument used to look at tissues inside the body. It may be used to put in a device called a stent. The stent helps to open an airway that has been blocked by abnormal tissue.

HEARTH ATTACK

A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, happens when a part of the heart muscle doesn’t get enough blood.
The more time that passes without treatment to restore blood flow, the greater the damage to the heart muscle.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of heart attack. A less common cause is a severe spasm, or sudden contraction, of a coronary artery that can stop blood flow to the heart muscle.

SYMPTOMS

  • Chest pain or discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center or left side of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes or that goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
  • Feeling weak, light-headed, or faint. You may also break out into a cold sweat.
  • Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back.
  • Pain or discomfort in one or both arms or shoulders.
  • Shortness of breath. This often comes along with chest discomfort, but shortness of breath also can happen before chest discomfort.
Other symptoms of a heart attack could include unusual or unexplained tiredness and nausea or vomiting. Women are more likely to have these other symptoms. 

TREATMENT
  • Physical activity
  • Education about healthy living, including healthy eating, taking medicine as prescribed, and ways to help you quit smoking
  • Counseling to find ways to relieve stress and improve mental health
