Slide 3 of 27

• With every dose of tobacco, users increase their risk of developing respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, and several different forms of cancer.

Long-Term Risks

• Cigarette smoking alone is directly responsible for the deaths of over 400,000 Americans each year.

• More than 6 million children living today may die early because of a decision they will make during their teen years—the decision to use tobacco.


Slide 4 of 27

• Cells that line the respiratory tract have hairlike extensions called cilia.

Respiratory Diseases

• Tar sticks to the cilia, prevents them from moving, and damages them over time.

• Tobacco smoke and other accumulating toxins irritate the lining of the bronchi.


Slide 5 of 27


Slide 6 of 27

• If a person continues to smoke over a long period of time, the damage that occurs to the respiratory system becomes permanent.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that results in a gradual loss of lung function.

• In people with chronic bronchitis, the airways are constantly inflamed.

• Tobacco smoke damages alveoli tissue. The damage can lead to emphysema, a disorder in which alveoli in the lungs can no longer function properly.

Make a Model of a Smoker’s Lungs

Materials

In this activity, you will construct a simple smoking machine to demonstrate how smoking affects the lungs.

plastic bottle with cap • plastic tubingclay • cotton ball • twist tiecigarette • safety matches

Puncturehole here

Twist tie

Tubingand clay

Cotton ball


Slide 8 of 27


Place the cotton ball over the tubing on the underside of the cap. Use the twist tie to secure it.

Thread the tubing into the hole in the bottle cap, and seal the edges with clay.

Your teacher will make a hole in the bottle cap about the size of the tubing. Your teacher will also poke a hole in the side of the bottle.

Try This


Slide 9 of 27

Insert the cigarette into the other end of the tubing so that the side you light points up.

Screw the cap onto the bottle.

Squeeze the bottle to force some air out of it. Then cover the hole with your thumb.

Try This



Slide 10 of 27


Have your teacher light the cigarette. With your thumb over the hole, pump the bottle slowly and steadily. This will draw air in through the cigarette.

When the bottle is full of air, uncover the hole to let some air out. Cover the hole before drawing air in through the cigarette again.

Your teacher will extinguish the cigarette and dispose of it.

Try This


Slide 11 of 27

What does the inside of the bottle look like?

Think and Discuss

Use the model to describe what smoking does to a smoker’s teeth, throat, and lungs.

Describe the appearance of the cotton ball after the smoking test.



Slide 12 of 27

• Cigarette smoking is responsible for about 90 percent of all COPD deaths.

COPD Treatments

• Treatments focus on relieving symptoms and slowing the progress of the disease.

• Possible treatments include

• medications that open airways

• breathing exercises

• oxygen treatments

• lung transplants


Slide 13 of 27

• The combined effects of nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide force the cardiovascular system to work harder to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

Cardiovascular Disease

• Tobacco use raises blood pressure.

• Studies show that the chemicals in tobacco smoke increase blood cholesterol levels and promote atherosclerosis.

• Nicotine increases the blood’s tendency to clot.


Slide 14 of 27

• Tobacco use is a major factor in the development of lung cancer, oral cancers, and several other cancers.

Cancer

• Many factors influence a tobacco user’s risk of developing cancer.

• when the person started using tobacco

• how much tobacco the person has used

• how often the person is exposed to other people’s smoke

Slide 16 of 27

• Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both women and men.

Lung Cancer

• Scientists estimate that more than 85 percent of all deaths caused by lung cancer are related to smoking.

• By the time most lung cancers are diagnosed successful treatment is unlikely.


Slide 17 of 27

• Smoking and smokeless tobacco are also associated with oral cancers—cancers of the mouth, tongue, and throat.

Oral Cancer

• About 90 percent of oral cancers occur in people who use tobacco.

• Tobacco users may develop white patches on their tongues or the lining of their mouths called leukoplakia (loo koh PLAY kee uh).


Slide 18 of 27

• Tobacco carcinogens affect many organs in the body.

Other Cancers

• Tobacco users also have an increased risk of cancers of the

• esophagus• larynx• stomach• pancreas• kidney• bladder• blood


Slide 19 of 27

• Mainstream smoke is exhaled from a smoker’s lungs.

Secondhand Smoke

• Sidestream smoke is smoke that goes into the air directly from the cigarette.

• The combination of mainstream and sidestream smoke is called secondhand smoke, or environmental tobacco smoke.

• Secondhand smoke is inhaled by everyone near the smoker.


Slide 20 of 27

• Long-term exposure to secondhand smoke can cause cardiovascular disease, many respiratory problems, and cancer.

Dangers of Secondhand Smoke

• Each year, secondhand smoke causes close to 40,000 deaths from heart attacks and lung cancer.

• Each year, secondhand smoke contributes to about 300,000 respiratory infections in children younger than eighteen months.

• Children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to develop allergies and asthma.


Slide 21 of 27

• Federal, state, and local laws now prohibit or restrict smoking in many public places and workplaces.

Avoiding Secondhand Smoke

• Ask smokers not to smoke around you.

• Be firm when informing guests that they cannot smoke in your home or car.

• In restaurants, always sit in no-smoking areas.

• Pregnant women who smoke put their babies at risk for many health problems.

Tobacco Use and Pregnancy

• cerebral palsy• sight impairment• hearing problems• learning difficulties

• Pregnant women who smoke also have higher rates of miscarriages, premature births, and stillbirths.

• Babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are also at much higher risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
