Chemicals in Tobacco• A stimulant

Nicotine• Psychoactive substance- causes

a change in the person’s mood or behavior

• Very addictive- causes a physical dependence

Tar

• Tiny pieces that when inhaled in to the lungs, condense and form a sticky coating on the bronchial tubes

• Same substance used to pave roads!!!• Destroys cilia, waving hair-like projections

that work to keep the respiratory tract clear.

Carbon Monoxide

• A colorless, odorless, poisonous gas released by burning tobacco

• Interferes with the blood’s ability to carry oxygen

• Same gas from car exhaust–if inhaled directly-can be fatal

• Mainstream smoking- passes through the tobacco and filter when the smoker inhales– what a smoker inhales

• Second handstream smoke- rises from the cigarette when the smoker is not inhaling

• This contains 2x more nicotine and tar, and 5x more CO than mainstream

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCppi1QIpU4• Non-smokers who live with smokers have a 20-

30% HIGHER risk of dying from heart disorders than non-smokers who live with non-smokers!!!

• Passive smoker- a person who inhales the sidestream smoke

–smoke inhaled by non-smokers

• Passive smoke can cause:• Heart disease *Asthma

• Eye irritation *Cancer

• Ear infections *Emphysema

Effects on the body• When you inhale a cigarette, the nicotine travels to

the bloodstream and then to the brain- this only take 8 seconds

• Become more alert and energetic

• Sense of smell and taste decrease

• Yellow Teeth, Fingernails

• Smelly clothes, hair, breath, house, car, etc.• “Smokers Voice” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtTId0CCJt8

Tobacco Dangers• Cracking and bleeding lips and gums• receding gums, which can eventually make your teeth fall out• increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and irregular

heartbeats=leading to a greater risk of heart attacks and brain damage

• ORAL CANCER-lips, tongue, cheeks, gums, ANYWHERE IN MOUTH!

• CANCER-stomach, esophagus, bladder, lung

• About 90 percent of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80 percent of lung cancer deaths in women are due to smoking.

Heart Disease

• The role of smoking in Coronary Heart Disease • Carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke exerts a

negative effect on the heart by reducing the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.

• Blood pressure will increase

Healthy Lungs

• You can see how the lung looks without the effects of inhalation of smoke.

• Note black specks throughout indicative of carbon deposits from pollution.

Lung after smoking

• Smokers lung with cancer.  White area on top is the cancer, this is what killed the person.  The blackened area is just the deposit of tars that all smokers paint into their lungs with every puff they take.

LUNG CANCER • Now kills more

women than breast cancer!

Chronic Bronchitis– Inflammation of the bronchial tubes– Chronic coughing, excessive mucus

production– Cilia becomes useless-covered with tar

Pulmonary Emphysema

• Destruction of tiny air sacs in lungs which absorb oxygen into the body

• Tiny air sacs=ALVEOLI

• Instead of using only 5% of their energy to breathe, a person with advanced emphysema uses 80% of their energy to breathe!!
