Extractions: Some of the Effects of Smoking on your Health The following is an overview of some of the effects that smoking cigarettes can have on your health: · A recent study estimated that non-smokers are at a 26% greater risk of lung cancer if they are married to a smoker. · Exposure to second hand tobacco smoke contributes to the incidence of childhood asthma. · Research has shown that children with cystic fibrosis who are exposed to tobacco smoke in the home are smaller and lighter than those not exposed, suggesting a possible link between passive smoking and growth and appetite. · Smoking may contribute to cancer of the cervix. American research has shown that nicotine is present in the cervical fluid of non-smokers following exposure to passive smoking, although active smokers, who draw smoke directly into their lungs, have higher levels still. · Smoking accounts for about 80-90% of all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema, chronic mucus secretion, chronic air flow blocks) · Smoking is involved in 85% of all lung cancer deaths!(which is incurable) An individual with chronic bronchitis (which is caused by smoking) is more likely to get a bacterial infection if he/she is a smoker. A smoker gets more nose and throat inflammations, respiratory infections, and chronic bronchitis.

Extractions: WEB EXCLUSIVE Newsweek July 19 - A new study has given hope to researchers that brain damage caused by Alzheimer's disease may not only be slowed down, but reversed. In their study, published in the journal Science, University of Minnesota neurology professor Karen Ashe and her colleagues bred mice with a human gene linked to dementia. When they activated the gene, the mice revealed signs of dementia through a decreased ability to swim through a water maze. But when the researchers de-activated the gene, not only did the signs of dementia decline, but the mental functions of the mice were actually restored. The researchers found that by blocking the production of tau-a mutant protein that's been linked to Alzheimer'ssome of the affected neurons were able to recover. Researchers have been unable to pinpoint the cause of Alzheimer's, a creeping brain degeneration that affects about 4.5 million Americans. Could the findings affect how the disease is treated?

Although the reports were generally accurate, the research came from a single study which should be interpreted in the context of the existing scientific literature. The news that the risks of passive smoking may not be as high as previously believed was reported by nine newspapers on 16 May 2003 (1-9). Most of the newspapers commented that exposure to tobacco smoke from a spouse was not significantly associated with an increased risk of dying from coronary heart disease or lung cancer. The research study (10) found no significant associations between current or former exposure to tobacco smoke from a spouse and mortality from heart disease or lung cancer. The researchers claimed that the association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed. However active cigarette smoking was found to be strongly, positively associated with death from coronary heart disease, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Most of the newspapers were broadly accurate in their reporting of this study. However only the

Extractions: If you want to stop smoking but are worried about gaining weight, this brochure may help you. Many ex-smokers do gain a few pounds, but only a few gain a lot of weight. The best action you can take to improve your health is to quit smoking. Smoking is much more harmful to your health than gaining a few pounds. Making some simple changes, like developing healthier eating and physical activity habits, should help you control your weight gain when you quit smoking. Not everyone gains weight when they stop smoking. On average, people who quit smoking gain only about 10 pounds. You are more likely to gain weight when you stop smoking if you have smoked for 10 to 20 years or smoked one or more packs of cigarettes a day. You can control your weight while you quit smoking by making healthy eating and physical activity a part of your life. Although you might gain a few pounds, remember you have stopped smoking and taken a big step toward a healthier life. What causes weight gain after quitting?

Learn more Questions About Smoking, Tobacco, and Health Is there a safe way to smoke? No. Although some people try to make their smoking habit safer by smoking fewer cigarettes, most smokers find that hard to do. Some people think that switching from high-tar and high-nicotine cigarettes to those with low tar and nicotine makes smoking safer, but this is not true. When people switch to brands with lower tar and nicotine, they often end up smoking more cigarettes, or more of each cigarette, to get the same nicotine dose as before. A low-tar cigarette can be just as harmful as a high-tar cigarette when a person takes deeper puffs, puffs more frequently, or smokes them to a shorter butt length. Even if smokers who switch to lower-tar brands do not make these changes to compensate, the health benefits are very small when compared to the benefits of quitting for good. Is cigarette smoking really addictive?
