Home Quit Smoking and Your Health Will Improve Smoking is hazardous to the health and welfare of the smoker, not to mention their friends and families.  Nicotine, which is the addictive substance in cigarettes sticks like tar to lung tissue.  Nicotine can also be linked to lung cancer and emphysema. Studies have also shown that second-hand smoke is just as much, if not more harmful than directly inhaling on the cigarette.  Smokers by the thousands are losing money, and years off their life in order to sustain this addiction.  Quit smoking and your health will begin to dramatically improve as the nicotine leaves your system. The nicotine works as the bait to hook the smoker, who then continues to inhale these other more harmful substances.  These harmful substances include tar and carbon monoxide.  Although tar and carbon monoxide are definitely in cigarette smoke and cause great harm, there are many other chemicals inhaled by a cigarette smoker with each puff.  All of the harmful elements from cigarette smoking can harm those around the smoker as well.  Quit smoking and your health will improve and the health of those around you will improve as well.  Quit Smoking and Your Health Will Improve Quickly Smoking has a cumulative effect on the health of each smoker.  People who continue to smoke for several years have more harmful effects.  There is research done by medical professionals that demonstrate that these effects need not be irreversible.  If a smoker quits today, he or she will benefit in some ways almost immediately.  The blood pressure and heart rate will improve after some minutes.  Quit smoking and your health will start to improve after your blood pressure improves.  There is new research that shows the harmful effects on the lungs will start to improve within a week.ÂÂ

Pipe Smoking and Health: "Risky business or casual pleasure?" by Mark Beale, MD I n making the decision to smoke or not, we must educate ourselves about the risks and benefits. Unfortunately, the scientific data which attempts to quantify the risks of pipe smoking remain sparse. In 1964, the Surgeon General of the United States issued a landmark report on tobacco usage. This report, which described the dangers of cigarette smoking, including heart disease, lung damage, and an increased cancer risk, raised the public's awareness regarding the health consequences of certain behaviors. Specifically, this report confirmed what had been suspected for quite some time, that cigarette smoking could be dangerous. However, the conclusion drawn from several studies about pipe smokers was that they tended to live longer than the general population!

If you're thinking it's lung cancer or COPD/emphysema , you're wrong. While both of these smoking-related diseases do claim a lot of lives, it is heart disease that that holds the top slot in the list of diseases that kill smokers. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States today, and the leading cause of death among smokers. And, on a global level, researchers report that there were 1,690,000 premature deaths from cardiovascular disease among smokers in the year 2000. In contrast, there were approximately 850,000 lung cancer deaths during the same year, and 118,000 COPD deaths from smoking in 2001, worldwide. Smoking is hard on the heart, but the fact is, tobacco use plays a role in a multitude of diseases that ultimately lead to disability and/or death.

Japanese doctors said they had evidence that the coronary circulation of healthy non-smokers was affected so badly by short exposure to fumes that parts of their hearts looked no different from that of smokers. The team from Osaka city university medical school, reporting in the Journal of the American Medical Association, used ultrasound imaging to check chambers, valves and other parts of the hearts of 15 non-smokers and 15 "healthy" smokers, with an average age of 27, before and after exposing them to 30 minutes of passive smoking.

Resources Smoking And Your Health The adverse effects of smoking on the body are numerous and well-known. In 2004 the US Surgeon General (the nation's most senior health official) released a report that once and for all lists these effects. The report also highlights some terrifying statistics. Between 1995 and 1999, 440,000 people suffered a premature death from smoking in the US alone. The life expectancy of a male smoker is 13 years less than for a non-smoker, while this figure rises to 15 years for females. The reason for these extraordinary numbers is that smoking really does affect each and every part of the body. New studies have found links between smoking and illnesses, such as bone marrow cancer, that were never previously connected. On this page we'll try to break down and explain the list of ways in which smoking will harm your health. By smoking, a mother subjects her unborn child to risks that are easily avoided. Sadly however, only around 20% of smokers kick the habit during pregnancy. Still fewer avoid smoking while they are breastfeeding, even though Nicotine can easily be passed though breast milk.

Wisconsin Initiative on Smoking and Health An association promoting clean air in public places Web hosted by Chaney Systems, Inc., New Berlin, WI Webmaster Visit the WISH Online Dining Guide at www.SmokeFreeDining.net WISH started in the early 1990's when Wisconsin had just 67 smoke free restaurants. As we interviewed these restaurant operators, we learned that they had two things in common: (1) none of them lost business as a result, and (2) none would return to allowing smoking in their restaurant. As we carried that message to other restaurant owners, they started coming on board and today, with the help of the local coalitions across the state, Wisconsin has approximately 2500 smoke free restaurants, all prospering in spite of the doomsday predictions by the tobacco industry. The successes result from several factors: Smokers do not quit eating in their favorite restaurant when it goes smoke free, they just quit smoking in it, 25% of smokers prefer smoke free dining, and most others accept it
