6. Tobacco • Around 114,000 people die every year as a result of smoking-related illnesses. Cigarettes contain around 4000 different chemicals, either gases or particles - the most additive of which is nicotine. Nicotine reaches the brain within 20 seconds and creates a dependency.

FACTS ABOUT TAR • Tar is a carcinogen (causes cancer). • Only after the person quits smoking will the tar start to leave the lungs (up to 15 years). • The lungs of anyone who spends time with a smoker are exposed to high levels of tar. • Reduced-tar cigarettes and filtered cigarettes do not reduce the risk of cancer.

8. TOBACCO DEATH LIST • Formaldehyde • Antifreeze • Rat poison (Cyanide/arsenic) • Plutonium 20 (Atomic Bomb explosion) • Toluene (Mortuary) • Cadmium (Artist’s oil paints) • Benzene (Jar of rubber cement)

9. View the jar of tar and answer the following questions: • In your group, design a poster illustrating some of the known carcinogens in cigarettes. You have 10 minutes and you may want to refer to page 541 in your text. • How does smoking marijuana produce tar effects similar to or different from smoking tobacco?

10. EXAMPLES:

12. Nicotine: a powerful and fast-acting addictive drug Carbon monoxide: poisonous gas given off by car exhausts Tar: black, sticky liquid like that used in road surfacing Ammonia: found in toilet cleaners Cadmium: a highly poisonous metal used in batteries Vinyl chloride: used to make PVC Cyanide: deadly poison used in the gas chambers Formaldehyde: used for preserving dead bodies Arsenic: found in rat poison Ethanol: used in anti-freeze Plus, sprinklings of 3985 other chemicals. Mix together well and smoke.

13. Marijuana does not have a filter and therefore tar does accumulate in the lungs. Research has shown that smoking an entire marijuana joint can have the same tar effect as smoking up to 20 cigarettes. Answers

22. Asthma Asthma is inflammation of the bronchioles, which constricts them and makes it difficult for air to pass through. More mucus is secreted which blocks the tiny air tubes or bronchioles. Asthma

23. The air sacs (alveoli) in someone with emphysema lose their elasticity and form. The capillaries that surround the air sacs break apart. The destruction of the capillaries and the air sacs prevent the exchange of oxygen for carbon dioxide from occurring effectively. Emphysema

24. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the part of the respiratory system that leads into the lungs. Bronchitis

26. All the blood in your body passes through the lungs. This allows the red blood cells to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The lungs are made up of a number of structures that allow the exchange of gases and prevent infection. Diagram the lungs, and show the various parts and their functions. Demonstrate how inhalation of tobacco smoke affects each function, and explain how this might affect related systems, particularly circulation. DIAGRAM THE LUNGS

27. You should be able to outline the basic systems down to the aveoli and show how the presence of foreign substances impedes gas exchange and cause excess mucous productions. Your diagram
