When does it all START?

KIDS

Lighting the FIRST cigarette !!!!

Protecting our children and grandchildren

• More than 3 million kids age 12-17 are current smokers.

• More than 5 million children under age 18 alive today will eventually die from smoking-related disease.

• More than 40% of high school boys report tobacco use.

HOW SEVERE IS

SECOND HAND SMOKING????

SECONDHAND SMOKE

Secondhand smoke contains over 4000 chemicals and 43 known carcinogens.

Among the chemicals are formaldehyde, cyanide, arsenic, carbon monoxide, methane and benzene.

Smoke filled rooms have up to 6 times the air pollution of a busy highway.

“PRIDE IN TOBACCO”Winston-Salem, NC – the home of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.

This town depends on the tobacco dollar: 8200 factory workers produced 142 billion cigarettes last year.

Winston-Salem is a company town.

Smoking is allowed almost everywhere.

There is one place where smoking is banned……..

smoking is banned at the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Plant

-that’s for the benefit of the machines.

-One delicate machine makes 2000 filters a minute, while another produces 400 packs a minute

The Constant BattleFree Radicals are unstable molecules that

cause cell and DNA damage;

They are a by-product of metabolism.

Sunlight, Stress, Toxins, Pollution,

X-rays, Radioactivity, Airline travel,

American Cancer Society

Recommendation

• Cancer-related Checkup

• every 3 years for people aged 20-40 and

• every year for people age 40 and older.

American Cancer Society• Prostate

• The ACS recommends that both the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and the digital rectal examination be offered annually, beginning at age 50,

• Men in high-risk groups, such as those with a strong familial predisposition (i.e., two or more affected first-degree relatives)

Cancer Screening

• The 5-year relative survival rate for these cancers is about 80%.

• If we participated in regular cancer screenings, this rate could increase to 95%.

• Don’t have time - lame excuse!

• yourself

• and the family

• life style changes

• Don’t BLAME the GENES

• YOUR FAMILY DESERVES IT

• THEY GET HURT IF YOU FALL SICK
