VYSAN - MUKTI

No amount of medical advice, family’s protest, prohibition

laws, etc can have the kind of impact which spiritual treatment

has…. Because, spirituality bears upon the core of the inner

self which is the source and ultimate regulator of all mental

tendencies and sentimental instincts.

Acharya Sharma’s eloquent explanations and

scientifically tested experiments on the feasible ways

of practising spirituality in daily life and on the

therapies of Yagyopathy and fresh herbal medicines

initiated by him – have shown significant effects on

improving people’s psychology and helped them

come out of the clutches of tobacco, betel-leaf (paana

and paana masala), cigarette (bidi) and liquor etc.

TOBACCO-CONSUMPTION"Ek Chutki Jhahar"

Tobacco is the second major cause of death in the world.

It is currently responsible for the death of 1 in 10 adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year).

90% of new smokers are 18 or younger

More than 8 million children alive today will die prematurely from smoking- related illnesses.

If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020.

Half the people that smoke today -that is about 650 million people- will eventually be killed by tobacco.

Increased risk of Cancer

Heart Strokes & Heart Disease

Lung Cancer

Sinus disease

Chronic obstructive Lung disease

There is a significant increase in risk of Lung, Larynx, Throat, Esophagus, Pancreas & Colon -rectal Cancers along with increase risk of Coronary Artery Disease Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis & Strokes.

Effects of Tobacco consumption

Laryngeal (Voice Box) Cancer

Over 90% of laryngeal cancers are caused by smoking.

Lung Cancer

Smoking causes 87% of all lung cancer cases

Chronic Hoarseness and Laryngeal Polyps

Chronic smokers often develop a persistent hoarse

voice with edema of the larynx and formation of vocal

cord polyps.

Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure

& Stroke.

Nicotine, the major drug in tobacco

constricts blood vessels, increasing blood

pressure and the work of the heart.

Constricting blood vessels also decreases

blood flow to the body's tissues, resulting in

decreased healing. These effects are

exacerbated by diseases such as diabetes.

The ill effects of Smoking affects lungs, heart

and other systems of the body and reduces

life span. The diseases of the lungs are

Asthma, or difficulty in breathing and oxygen

shortage in the inhaled air with its attendant

effect on the functioning of heart, direct effect

on heart due to de-oxygenation of blood,

leading to heart attack, deposition of plaques

in the arterial walls causing high blood

pressure and subsequent heart failure

It has been found that the burnt paper coating

in the cigarette can give rise to carcinogens

which can cause lung cancer for which no

effective remedy is available now.

A high percent of patients with Lung Cancer has

a long history of Tobacco use like cigarette

smoking, Tobacco chewing etc.

Smoking May Dim Thinking Skills

Researchers found long-term cigarette smoking was associated

with diminished thinking skills as well as lower IQ

among a group of alcoholic and nonalcoholic men.

Previous studies have shown that long-term

alcoholism dims thinking skills and eventually lowers IQ, and

researchers say 50%-80% of alcoholics are also smokers.

Researchers say they suggest that smoking may account for a

portion of the mind-numbing effects normally associated with

alcoholism.

"The exact mechanism for smoking's impact on

the brain's higher functions is still unclear, but

may involve both neurochemical effects and

damage to the blood vessels that supply the

brain,"

"This is consistent with other findings that people

with cardiovascular disease and lung disease

tend to have reduced neurocognitive function."

Smoking may hamper a Man's fertility

Smoking may hamper a man's fertility, according

to a small study funded by cigarette company

Philip Morris. Scientists at the University of

Buffalo compared sperm from screened sperm

donors to sperm from 18 male smokers. In lab

tests, the smokers' sperm was less likely to bind

tightly to an egg -- a necessary step for

fertilization. The results were presented in

Montreal at the American Society of Reproductive

Medicine's annual meeting.

Researcher's Comments

"Specialized testing clearly reveals a significant drop

in fertility potential for men who are heavy tobacco

smokers," says researcher Lani Burkman, PhD, in a

news release.

Men who smoke also "should be aware that smoking

can damage their sperm DNA, passing on faulty DNA

to their baby. Concerned smokers should quit or be

tested in a local andrology laboratory,” says Burkman.

Smoking and Sperm

"Like other cells in the body, human sperm

carry a receptor for nicotine, which means they

recognize and respond to nicotine," Burkman

explains.

In previous lab tests, the researchers had

exposed sperm to nicotine. That "significantly

altered" three important sperm functions,

Second Hand Smoke

Passive smoking occurs when a person

breathes in environmental tobacco smoke

(ETS).

Secondhand smoke is defined as the smoke

which is exhaled by the smoker plus the smoke

created by the smouldering of a lit cigarette.

Secondhand smoke is full of toxins, and is

dangerous to anyone who breathes it in.

Respiratory Health Effects of Passive

Smoking

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke is

responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer

deaths each year in nonsmoking adults and impairs

the respiratory health of hundreds of thousands of

children.

More than just a gray cloud

Secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoke

and environmental tobacco smoke, is a mixture of two

types of smoke.

Here are a few other chemicals in tobacco smoke

that might sound familiar, along with their effects

Ammonia — irritates your lungs

Carbon monoxide — hampers breathing

by reducing oxygen in your blood

Methanol — toxic when breathed or swallowed

Hydrogen cyanide — interferes with proper respiratory function

Nicotine — the highly addictive ingredient that makes smoking so

difficult to stop — though this presents less of a health problem

than the other substances.

Cigarette /Biddi /Pipe /Hukka Smoking

– A very Serious Health Hazard

We pick up cigarette smoking habit unaware

of it deleterious consequences to our health.

We develop this habit due to physiological,

psychical/psychological and social reasons. The physiological

reason is that the nicotine contained in the cigarette stimulates

our brain and the smoker feels well being. OR

It appears to be a pleasurable experience, though short lived.

Psychical reason is that it releases one from mental and

emotional tension.

It is due to inner weakness and lack of mental

courage to face the objective situation which is

stress inducing that one adopts to smoking.

Same psychodynamic mechanism works in the

case of those who are alcohol or drug

dependent. When a person is able to remove

stress by being one calm and composed by

practicing Relaxation techniques, Meditation

etc will be able to stop smoking. Social factors

are imitation of peers, to give them company

etc. A person may pick up the habit when he is

in the circle of his friends

Quitting Smoking Offers Psychological

Benefits

Unsuccessful attempts may change perceptions of

Health Risk Researchers from Arizona State University

and Indiana University found that after a 6-year period,

smokers who succeeded in quitting reported less

stress and did not experience increases in negative

moods, such as depression or nervousness.

Successful quitters also came to view smoking as

being less beneficial psychologically and more harmful

to their health, compared to their perceptions when

they were smokers.

Parents who quit smoking may reduce the

likelihood that their adolescent will smoke, but

this benefit is clearest in families in which the

other parent is also a non-smoker. Non-smoking

and ex-smoking parents may reduce adolescent

smoking because they have negative implicit

attitudes towards smoking and because they

provide anti-smoking parenting. Families with two

non-smoking parents and with parents who have

negative implicit attitudes toward smoking may be

most effective because they most clearly and

consistently communicate anti-smoking

messages to their adolescents.

Do & Don’t

If you smoke, stop. Consult your physician for help, if

needed. And remember: more than 55 million Indians

have successfully quit smoking -- you can do it, too. Do

not smoke around your spouse and other family

members, and especially not around children, whose

developing lungs can be particularly vulnerable to

secondhand smoke. The same goes for your pets, as

they, too, can be adversely affected by tobacco smoke.

If you have household members who smoke, help them to stop. Ask visitors, to smoke outside of your home or offices.

Don't allow smoking in your car.

If you are expecting a baby, quit smoking. Never smoke around a newborn or infant.

Be certain your children's schools and daycare facilities are smoke-free; do not allow babysitters or other workers at your home to smoke in or around your home.

Be sensitive to the places where you're most likely to encounter secondhand smoke and avoid them, if possible.

Give your business to establishments that are smoke-free.

The following places are more prone to

secondhand or passive smoke

Bars and lounges

Public restaurants

Sports events, music concerts, fairs, and other places of entertainment

Places of outdoor recreation

The workplace, particularly factories and construction sites

If people are smoking in your presence, you can ask them

politely to extinguish their smoking materials. If this is not

possible, you can just leave, thereby taking responsibility for

your own health.

Be aware of smoking laws. You're legally protected

against secondhand smoke exposure in many

situations, such as on all domestic flights of six hours

or less and on all interstate bus travel. Many states

have laws prohibiting smoking in public facilities, such

as schools, hospitals, airports and other public

buildings. As a responsible citizen, you can contact

your local, state, and national legislators, asking them

for tougher laws protecting nonsmokers from

secondhand smoke. Tell them you have studied and

know the health risks involved, and that you want

decisive legislative action to protect yourself, your

family, and your community.
