Effects of Second Hand Cigarette Smoke



Passive smoking (also known as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), involuntary smoking or second hand smoke) occurs when the exhaled and ambient smoke from one person's cigarette is inhaled by other people. Non-smokers exposed to second hand smoke are at greater risk for many of the health problems associated with direct smoking.
In 1992, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a review of the evidence available from epidemiological and other studies regarding the relationship between second hand smoke and heart disease and estimated that passive smoking was responsible for 35,000 to 40,000 deaths per year in the United States in the early 1980s
1.
Non-smokers living with smokers have about a 25 per cent increase in risk of death from heart attack and are also more likely to suffer a stroke, and some research suggests that risks to non-smokers may be even greater than this estimate. One recent study in the British Medical Journal found that exposure to second hand smoke increases the risk of heart disease among non-smokers by as much as 60 percent!
2.
Passive smoking is especially risky for children and babies and can cause low birth weight babies, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), bronchitis, pneumonia, and middle ear infections.Some controversy has attended efforts to estimate the specific risk of lung cancer related to passive smoking. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1993 issued a report estimating that 3,000 lung cancer related deaths in the US were caused by passive smoking every year. Tobacco industry lobbyists, such as the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, and industry-funded researchers, such as S. Fred Singer, aggressively attacked the EPA study as "junk science".
In 2002, a group of 29 experts from 12 countries convened by the Monographs Programme of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization reviewed all significant published evidence related to tobacco smoking and cancer. It concluded its evaluation of the carcinogenic risks associated with involuntary smoking, with second-hand smoke also being classified as carcinogenic to humans
3.
An earlier WHO epidemiology study also found "weak evidence of a dose-response relationship between risk of lung cancer and exposure to spousal and workplace ETS". The fact that the evidence was described as "weak" has been interpreted by the tobacco industry and its supporters as evidence that the ETS-lung cancer link has been "disproven".
More precisely, the "weakness" of the evidence stems from the fact that the risk of ETS for individuals is small relative to the very high risk of actually smoking, making it more difficult to quantify through epidemiology. In addition to epidemiology, moreover, several other types of scientific evidence (including animal experiments, chemical constituent analysis of ETS, and human metabolic studies) support the WHO and EPA conclusions.Most experts believe that moderate, occasional exposure to second hand smoke presents a low cancer risk to non-smokers, but the risk is more likely to be significant if non-smokers work in an environment where cigarette smoke is prevalent. For this reason, many countries (such as Ireland) and jurisdictions (like New York State) now prohibit smoking in public buildings. Many office buildings contain specially ventilated smoking areas; some are required by law to provide them.

Harmful Effects Of Smoking

Cigarettes and more specifically tobacco smoke are full of chemicals and poisons. As you discovered in our chemicals in cigarettes section tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, many of which make smoking harmful.


Effects of Tobacco Smoke
Smoking KILLS
Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.
One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.
Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain put on your body by smoking often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.

Skin-ageing effects of smoking explained

Did you know - Smoking
Prematurely ages skin by between 10 and 20 years
Increases the likelihood of facial wrinkling (by 3 times), particularly around the eyes and mouth
Gives a sallow, yellow-grey complexion and hollow cheeks, which can cause smokers to look gaunt
Causes gum-disease, halitosis (bad breath) and tooth loss
Stains tooth enamel and fingers yellow
Makes you store fat around the waist and increases the risk of cellulite
Doubles or trebles your risk of developing psoriasis, a chronic skin condition which, while not life-threatening, can be extremely uncomfortable and disfiguring
Second hand smoke is also likely to have an ageing effect albeit at a reduced rate
The damaging effects of cigarette smoke on skin are irreversible but it is likely that further deteriation will be avoided by stopping smoking
A South Korean study of smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers aged 20 to 69 found:
Current smokers had a higher degree of facial wrinkling than non-smokers and ex-smokers
Ex-smokers who smoked heavily at a younger age revealed less facial wrinkling than current smokers

Smoking makes you less attractive to the opposite sex
According to a survey by the NHS Smoking Helpline, which asked over 1,000 men and women aged 18-35 for their views on smoking:
Nearly half of men associated smoking with wrinkles, bad skin and less enjoyable kissing
Over two-thirds of young men and women, and over half of smokers, say smoking reduces sexual attractiveness
Nearly half of smokers said they'd quit to improve their sex appeal
Fancy your chances of scoring with a footballer? England player Joe Cole says: "There is nothing worse than a girl that stinks of cigarette smoke. You can meet the prettiest girl, but if she smells of a stale ashtray she becomes the ugliest girl"*


Skin-ageing effects of smoking explained


The skin is affected by tobacco smoke in the following ways:
Tobacco smoke released into the environment has a drying effect on the skin's surface
Smoking restricts blood vessels, which reduces the amount of blood flowing to the skin, thus depleting the skin of oxygen and essential nutrients
Some research suggests that smoking may reduce the body's store of Vitamin A, which provides protection against some skin-damaging agents produced by smoking
Another likely explanation is that squinting in response to the irritating nature of the smoke, and the puckering of the mouth when drawing on a cigarette, cause wrinkling around the eyes and mouth
Recent research has shown that the skin ageing effects of smoking may be due to increased production of an enzyme that breaks down collagen in the skin. Collagen is the main structural protein of the skin which maintains skin elasticity

Anti-smoking measures in spotlight


LONDON (Reuters) - The government launched a three-month public consultation on Saturday on how to cut the number of people smoking in Britain.
Removing branding and logos from cigarette packets, making retailers sell cigarettes from under the counter and banning the advertising of smoking paraphernalia, such as cigarette papers, are some of the measures proposed by the Department of Health.
Abolishing packs of 10, to cut the number of young people taking up the habit, and restricting youngsters' access to cigarette vending machines are also being considered.
The take-up of smoking among young people is lower than a decade ago, but more than 200,000 people aged under 16 start smoking every year.
They are three times more likely to die of cancer than people who start smoking in their mid-20s.
"Protecting children from smoking is a government priority and taking away temptation is one way to do this," Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo said on Saturday.
"If banning brightly coloured packets, removing cigarettes from display and removing the cheap option of a pack of 10 helps save lives, then that is what we should do -- but we want to hear everyone's views first."
Smoking-related disease kills 87,000 people a year, and despite a drop in the number of smokers by 1.9 million in the past decade, smoking remains the biggest killer in England.
Smoke-related illness costs the NHS between 1.4 and 1.7 billion pounds a year.

Last July, England followed the rest of the UK in banning smoking in enclosed public places. Bans were introduced in Scotland in 2006, and in Wales and Northern Ireland in 2007.
Since the ban was imposed in England the number of people using NHS stop-smoking services has increased by 28 percent, while the number of smokers in Britain has declined by 2 percent to 22 percent of the population.

Record-breaking Mentos and Coke

It was to be one of the biggest science experiments ever seen yet there was not a bunson burner or test tube in sight.
Around 1,500 students kitted out in waterproof ponchos discovered exactly what happens when you drop a mint sweet into a bottle of Coca Cola, in an attempt to break a world record.



















The students, from Belgium, tried to out-fizz the previous record for so-called Mentos fountains by simultaneously putting Mentos mints into bottles of the soft drink.












The resultant chemical reaction shot hundreds of streams of carbonated soda into the air.
The explosive record-breaking event was held in Ladeuzeplein square in Leuven, Belgium.

Words to remember for a while

Boys are like apples on trees.


The best ones are atthe top of the tree.The girls don't want to reach for the good ones because they're afraid offalling and getting hurt. Instead they just get therotten apples that areon the ground, that aren't as good, but easy.

So the apples at the top think that there is something wrong with them,when in reality, they are amazing.

That is why we just have to be a little patient andthe right girl, the onewho takes a chance to find the good, right apple, willcome someday...

True Story: Newton Committed Suicide

Here is the reason.
Why Newton Committed Suicide.....
Once, Newton came to India and watched a few Tamil movies that had his
head spinning. He was convinced that all his logic and laws in physics
were just a huge pile of junk and apologized for everything he had done.
In the movie of Rajanikanth, Newton was confused to such an extent that
he went paranoid. Here are a few scenes
1) Rajanikanth has a Brain Tumor which, according to the doctors can't
be cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights, Rajanikanth is
shot in the head. To everybody's surprise, the bullet passes through his
ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is cured! Long Live Rajanikanth!
2) In another movie, Rajanikanth is confronted with 3 gangsters.
Rajanikanth has a gun but unfortunately only one bullet and a knife.
Guess, what he does?
He throws the knife at the middle gangster? & shoots the bullet towards
the knife. The knife cuts the bullet into 2 pieces, which kills both the
gangsters on each side of the middle gangster & the knife kills the
middle one.
3) Rajanikanth is chased by a gangster. Rajanikanth has a revolver but
no bullets in it. Guess, what he does. Nah? not even in your remotest imaginations.
He waits for the gangster to shoot. As soon as the gangster shoots, Rajanikanth
opens the bullet compartment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then,
he closes the bullet compartment and fires his gun.
Bang... the gangster dies...
This was too much for our Newton to take! He was completely shaken and
decided to go back. But he happened to see another movie for one last time,
and thought that at least one movie would follow his theory of physics.
The whole movie goes fine and Newton is happy that all in the world hasn't
changed. Oops, not so fast!
The 'climax' finally arrives.
Rajanikanth gets to know that the villain is on the other side of a very
high wall. So high that Rajanikanth can't jump even if he tries like one
of those superman techniques that our heroes normally use. Rajanikanth
has to desperately kill the villain because it's the climax.
( Newton dada is smiling since it is virtually impossible?)
Rajanikanth suddenly pulls two guns from his pockets. He throws one gun
in the air and when the gun has reached above the height of the wall, he
uses the second gun and shoots at the trigger of the first gun in air.
The first gun fires off and the villain is dead.

Solar-powered bra 'able to charge an iPod'



Solar-powered bra 'able to charge an iPod' & CellPhone






A Japanese lingerie firm today unveiled the perfect gadget for eco-friendly sun worshippers – the solar-powered bra.





The bra comes with a detachable solar panel, worn around the stomach, which can produce enough energy to power an iPod or mobile phone as the wearer lazes on the beach, the makers claim.
It is also equipped with plastic pouches that can be filled with water, allowing wearers to quench their thirst without having to buy and then throw away hard-to-recycle drinks bottles.


And the bra itself is made of high quality organic cotton, to ensure its production has the smallest possible impact on the environment.
But the fetching "Photovoltaic-Powered Bra" won't be on shelves any time soon. It is still at the "concept" stage and has several problems that need to be ironed out.
For one, it is damaged by rain – a big drawback for those used to the vagaries of English summers.
The makers, Triumph International Japan, concede that that the bra will not become popular in its current form, as outer clothing renders its solar panel ineffective.
"People usually cannot go outside without wearing clothes over it," said Yoshiko Masuda of Triumph.
Triumph is developing a reputation for innovative, eco-friendly lingerie. It has previously released a bra than can be turned into a reusable shopping bag, and a bra designed to encourage the use of reusable chopsticks.




Now, a Solar Bra as Phone Charger!

The Cruelest Form of Eye Tests for Men


Eye Test

This is actually really freaky!!

Read to the bottom. Try it out. I did. I got goose bump
IF YOU’RE A CRITICAL PERSON STILL READ ON AS IT’S ACTUALLY VERY INTERESTING!! This is actually really freaky!! (mainly the end part, but read it all first)1) New York City has 11 letters2) Afghanistan has 11 letters. 3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters. 4) George W Bush has 11 letters.This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:1) New York is the 11th state. 2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11. 3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 114) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers , was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 115) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 =11 6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11 Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind: 1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11. 2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11. 3) The Madridbombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11. 4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident. Now this is where things get totally eerie:The most recognized symbol for the US , after the Stars & Stripes, is theEagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic holy book:‘For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. Thewrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah while someof the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for the wrath of theEagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was peace.’That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.unconvinced about all of this Still ..?! Try this and see how you feelafterwards, it made my hair stand on end: Open Microsoft Word and do the following:1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first plane tohit one of the Twin Towers .
2. Highlight the Q33 NY. 3. Change the font size to 48. 4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS .

EFFECTS OF COLD WATER


For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life.

ATM TIP

If you are ever forced by a thief or someone to take money out of an ATM machine, enter your pin number reversed.So if your number is 1254 mark 4521.

The ATM machine will give you your money, but will automatically recognize this as a plea for help and will alert the police unknown to the thief.
This option is in all ATM machines, but not many people know this.

Please pass this information on to others. No harm in keeping this in mind!!
