Deaths due to Airplane Crashes Let's compare the danger of smoking to something that generates huge media interest such as when an airplane filled with 380 people crashes leaving no survivors. It is a horrible tragedy whenever something like that occurs, so many people lost at a time. However, in order to get up to the same deadly level as smoking, airplanes with 380 people on board would be crashing at a rate of one every 33 minutes, which means 43 planes per day every day. There is such a staggering difference in how much more probable it is to die from smoking than from flying, but there is no media interest and hardly anyone notices.

Smoked Worldwide: 5 Million Tons of Cigarettes per Year and 6 Million Dead due to Smoking Consequences Smoking is a practice used by roughly one seventh of the population of the planet. There are about one billion smokers worldwide. It has been a long time since people have started smoking. The number of smoked cigarettes and cigarillos per year is around 5.3 trillion. We now know more than ever before just how dangerous a practice smoking is. When a cigarette is lit up it produces thousands of dangerous chemicals, many of which are poisons and known to cause cancer and other severely adverse side- effects. Here are just a few: Tar - the mix of solid particles inhaled which forms a residue in the oral cavity and lungs where it causes cancer. Arsenic - a carcinogen and poison which attacks the vascular system and DNA. Benzene - another carcinogen, mainly responsible for leukemia. Cadmium - a carcinogen used in batteries, also attacks the artery linings, kidneys and DNA. Polonium-21 - radioactive, emits alpha rays normally blocked by skin but when inhaled causes DNA damage and cancer. And of course, the main chemical which makes it highly addictive: Nicotine, one of the most addictive substances, much like cocaine and heroin. 6 million people die every year due to smoking, that means that every 5 seconds one person dies due to consequences of smoking. Those who smoke are not only the ones with cigarettes in their mouths - first hand smokers -, but also those who happen to breathe in the air containing the smoke from their cigars - second hand smokers.
Comments from Wordpress Version: There is a long-term observation from the USA that shows that pure cigar and tobacco pipe smokers live a little longer than non-smokers. This is probably due to the fact that smoking a pipe (classical pipe is meant) has a lot to do with relaxation. No pipe smoker places himself in a smoking corner during working hours and quartzes a cigar/pipe in himself. Also, pipes and cigars are not normally inhaled. But what the cigar and pipe lover should absolutely leave out is the cognac or whiskey to smoke. The alcohol rinses the mucous membranes bare and the fine particles in the smoke can penetrate deeply. The result is tongue cancer or palatal cancer. A well-known victim is, for example, Siegmund Freud, who fell ill with palatal cancer. Some get lung cancer, throat cancer, oral cavity cancer, tongue cancer, esophageal cancer, tracheal cancer, colon cancer, heart attack, stroke, smoker’s legs, arteriosclerosis, asthma,…
Comments: Even today we hear from educated people that there is no proven link between smoking and the likelihood of developing cancer. As “evidence” anecdotes are often told about people who have smoked away the stuff in packs into old age (H. Schmidt et al.). The study clearly proves, based on specific gene mutation patterns, that the risk of cancer increases massively with every cigarette. The effects on the cardiovascular system have not yet been taken into account. In addition to about 90% of all lung cancers, smoking also causes over a third of coronary heart diseases. Besides alcoholism, smoking is thus the most dangerous addiction with the most addicts. According to calculations by the University of Hamburg, economic costs of 35 billion euros p.a. arise, which is more than 2000 euros extra costs per smoker compared to non-smokers for the German health system. It is time that the contributions of the statutory health insurance companies are not only based on the amount of income. Those who live healthy must receive more support from the health insurance companies in terms of prevention. In return, people with unhealthy lifestyles should take responsibility for their own health through risk premiums and, for example, additional contributions. This system would be much more effective than pumping more and more money into the system and burdening contributors more and more.
Harmful Effects of Smoking and the Benefits of Vaping Smoking has been positively linked with several life-threatening illnesses and a poorer quality of life for smokers and their families. It even has a detrimental effect on the environment. And although it was once seen as a sociable activity, the acknowledged dangers of smoking means it's no longer welcome in public places. However, for smokers who are finding it difficult to break the habit of enjoying the pull of a cigarette there is the alternative method of vaping which provides an equal measure of addictive satisfaction while eliminating the serious side-effects of smoking. Why are Cigarettes Addictive? Cigarettes contain nicotine, a addictive substance that takes a mere seven seconds to reach the brain providing the instant relief that smokers can't resist. It is a natural component of tobacco leaves and is also found in the leaves of other plants such as potatoes, aubergines and tomatoes. Nicotine in itself is considered to be no more harmful than caffeine, a stimulant found in tea and coffee. It is the presence of thousands of additional chemicals that make cigarettes such a danger. What does a Cigarette Contain? A cigarette contains almost six hundred ingredients that expand when lit into approximately seven thousand chemicals. Many are often found in pesticides and fungicides. At least seventy of these can cause cancer while many others are highly poisonous. The most well-known include arsenic which is used to poison vermin, ammonia found in cleaning products, cadmium and lead which are both present in battery acids and formaldehyde that's often used in embalming. Other toxins include tar, acetone, carbon monoxide, butane, benzene and the rocket fuel, methanol. Flavourings such as liquorice, cocoa and sugar are also added to mask the taste of the poisons. What does an E-Cigarette Contain? By contrast, an e-cigarette used in vaping is generally filled with a liquid containing approximately four ingredients. These include distilled water, nicotine and propylene glycol which is used as an additive in food, pharmaceutical and skin care products. Flavourings can include rose oil, vanilla, linalool that is extracted from aromatic plants and acetylpyrazine which is commonly added to foods such as chips, popcorn, cocoa and coffee. What Happens to the Lungs when Smoking When a cigarette burns its ingredients are transformed into a smoke comprised of fine dust particles that are largely inhaled or released into the surrounding air. When the dust enters the lungs it disturbs their natural ability to act as self-cleaning filters by infiltrating the delicate tissues. The microscopic dust particles eventually pass into the bloodstream where they can adhere to blood platelets causing them to from clots in the blood and also contribute to hardening the walls of the arteries. Related diseases include cancer, strokes, heart conditions, asthma, cognitive and lymphatic disorders. Scientific data indicates that smokers reduce their life expectancy by approximately fourteen years. Unfortunately, innocent bystanders in the family home or in public spaces often have no choice but to inhale second-hand smoke and are unfairly exposed to the same risks or illnesses. What is in the Vapour from an E-Cigarette? An e-cigarette does not burn. Instead the liquid is heated until it becomes a steam or vapour which is then drawn into the lungs as when smoking. The vapour's nicotine level is extremely low and does not contain carcinogenic agents or tar. Vapour disperses much faster than smoke and is only emitted when the e-cigarette is actually in use unlike the smoke from a cigarette which continues to be released if it is still burning. Consequently, scientific analysis suggests that bystanders are not in danger of serious ill health while in the company of someone who is vaping. The Benefits of Vaping An e-cigarette is not much different in size to a regular cigarette but it can often last up to twenty times longer which on balance should make it much less expensive. E- cigarettes do not pose a fire hazard unlike discarded cigarettes. While it's preferable to avoid inhaling anything other than fresh air, vapour is infinitely kinder than cigarette smoke.
How Smoking Can Cut Your Life Short Smoking is a major health hazard that can have a detrimental effect on your life. The dangers of smoking have been a topic of discussion for many years, but unfortunately, many people still choose to ignore the warnings of health professionals and enjoy a cigarette. The reality is that smoking can significantly reduce your life expectancy, as well as have a negative impact on your overall health and quality of life. The smoke from a cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals, many of which are known to be toxic and carcinogenic. When you inhale these chemicals, they enter your lungs and bloodstream, and can cause a variety of health issues. These include heart disease, cancer, respiratory problems, and even stroke. Not only does smoking cause physical damage to your body, but it can also have an effect on your mental health. Studies have shown that smokers are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression, and that these mental health issues can be exacerbated by smoking. One of the most profound effects of smoking is the impact it has on life expectancy. Studies have shown that smokers are more likely to die at a younger age than non-smokers. On average, smokers lose between 10 and 15 years of their lives due to their smoking habits. This means that if you are a smoker, you are more likely to die before you reach retirement age. The good news is that quitting smoking can help to reduce the risk of developing smoking-related illnesses, as well as increasing your life expectancy. Quitting smoking can also help to improve your mental health and quality of life. If you are considering quitting, there are a number of resources available to help you make that decision, such as nicotine replacement therapies and counseling. Smoking is a major health hazard that can have a devastating effect on your life. The chemicals in cigarettes can cause a variety of physical and mental health issues, and can even cut your life short by up to 15 years. It is important to remember that quitting smoking can help to reduce these risks, and improve your overall health and quality of life.
