• Tobacco is not natural Tobacco leaves Additives- chemicals that keep tobacco moist, help it burn longer and taste better (example:
ammonia) Over thousands of chemicals (benzene) Carbon monoxide- colorless and odorless poisonous
gas that enters blood stream and starves your body of oxygen
Tar- solid, sticky substanceo Tar coats airways and sticks to lungs destroying cilia- tiny
hair like structures that protect the lungso Chronic Bronchitis, lung cancer, and other lung diseases
can eventually result from smoking
Cigarettes- most common form of tobacco Cigars contain same dangerous chemicals as
cigarettes but in a larger quantity Pipe smokers inhale less smoke than cigarettes but
still can develop cancers of mouth, lip, and throat
Smokeless tobacco- chewed or sniffed. Examples: spit, chew, snuff
Discussion- can chew be flavored? What is snuff? Should either snuff or chew be swallowed?
Specialty cigarettes- bidis and cloves
Smoke off the cigarette or that is exhaled from a smoker is known at second-hand smoke or ETS
Smoke that the smoker inhales and exhales in –mainstream smoker
Smoker that is given off by a burning cigarette, pipe, or cigar is side-stream smoker
Same chemicals found in smoke inhaled by smokers are found in ETS
Until recently, smoking was allowed in public places Now laws protect citizens from second- hand smoke (ETS) Nonsmokers who breathe in ETS are at risk for the same
health problems that smokers are and even infants and toddlers who are constantly breathing in ETS.
