Tobacco was introduced to Europe from South America in the 16th century. Despite existing in his time smoking prohibitions by the Church and State, tobacco smoking has become a common habit among the European population.
The composition of smoke is complex. It identified about 500 substances. But the main pharmacologically active substance is nicotine (acute effects) and resin (chronic effects).
Known about the small number of diseases that develop in smokers less likely than non-smokers!
These include: toxemia of pregnancy, postoperative pulmonary embolism (blockage of blood vessels - a dangerous complication), Parkinson's disease, ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer's disease (smokers never develop!). Also, the frequency of endometrial cancer is slightly lower in smokers than in nonsmokers. Still, it should be emphasized that these minor beneficial effects can not be compared with the risk stemming from the constant smoking.
Everyone knows that smoking causes the most severe forms of disease:
Lung, larynx, oral cavity, kidney, pancreas and bladder.
Atherosclerosis.
Myocardial infarction.
Peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
Chronic tooth decay.
Pulmonary tuberculosis.
Diabetes.
Skin diseases.
Rare form of blindness.
The list is endless. Of course, these diseases are found in non-smokers. But statistics show that the risk of the disease in smokers is 10 times more! In 9 out of 10 hard-core smokers (smoked 2 packs a day), myocardial infarction!
Many non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke, inhale as his home, in public places, bus, at work, where there are smokers. This is called passive smoking. Passive smoking is less dangerous to health, but also can be addictive!
According to WHO, the effects of chronic nicotine poisoning each year prematurely give up their lives for at least 2500000 people. This number continues to grow every year. Think about the health ...
Every cigarette you smoke may be the last ...
