  1. What is the Difference between what these two girls are doing??

  2. NOTHING! They will BOTH kill you!

  3. Did you know…. . The death rate for smokers is 2-3 times higher than non-smokers • There are 400,000 deaths annually in the US contributed to cigarette smoking • Nearly 1 of every 5 deaths is related to smoking. • Cigarettes kill more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined • Cigarettes and cigarette smoke contain more than 4,000 chemicals? • Many of which are known to cause cancer

  4. Nicotine Powerful Insecticide Formaldehyde Used to preserve dead dead bodies Acetone Nail Polish Remover Ammonia Cleaning Products Carbon Monoxide Gas from car exhausts Tar Road Surfaces Butane Lighter fuel Arsenic Rat Poison Radon Radioactive Gas Methanol Rocket Fuel Hydrogen Cyanide Poison Used on Death Row

  5. The sense of smell and taste • Smoking affects the taste buds on your tongue. • Food tastes and smells different to a smoker. • People who smoke often need to add extra spices to make their food taste good.

  6. Smoking effects the voice • You can often tell a smoker by their voice • The chemicals in cigarette smoke along with the heat from the smoke are irritants to the throat. - This causes: redness, swelling, an increase in mucous, and a thickening of the throat’s lining. . The voice takes on a harsh, or raspy sound and their words may not be clear. It sounds Like he smokes.. What happened to his voice?? He’s He’s Awful

  7. Smoking effects the lungs . When smoke enters the lungs: - as many as 4,000 chemicals enter the lungs. Many are of these chemicals are known to cause cancer. . The lungs produce (mucous) to gather up and move these chemicals and other contaminates through the lungs along with the help of tiny hairs (cilia) in the lining of the lungs. These tiny hairs move back and forth pushing the mucous through the lungs. . Cigarette smoke destroys the cilia, making it hard for the body to get rid of the contaminated mucous.

  8. Continued Effects on the Lungs • Nicotine : A highly addictive substance. : Constricts blood vessels in the lungs making it difficult for the lungs to do it’s job of exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen; there is now less oxygen to by carried to other parts of the body. . Tar : A thick black substance used in construction. : It coats the lining of the lungs. : Damages the cilia. : making it difficult for the lungs to get rid of waste.

  9. How Smoking Effects your Bones • Smoking causes osteoporosis (weakening of the bones) by preventing calcium from being absorbed into the body • Bones are more easily broken

  10. How Smoking Effects your Circulatory System • Chemicals absorbed from cigarette smoke cause constriction of vital arteries; this causes the heart to work harder to pump blood through the body • There is an increase in heart rate and blood pressure • Less oxygen carried by the blood to vital organs • Reduced blood flow to extremities like fingers and toes • Thicker blood, which is more prone to clotting • Increased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply Arteries Heart Veins

  11. Instructors pageadd to continued effects on the lungs • Each cigarette contains over 4000 chemicals, and at least 43 of those are known to cause cancer. • The three top substances that can cause major health problems are: Tar, carbon monoxide and nicotine. • Taris a black sticky substance that settles along the mucous membrane lining along the nose, throat and lungs. The Tar accumulation prevents the mucous lining from doing its job of removing any dust and dirt you breathe in. This can lead to diseases like: Bronchitis • : Emphysema • : Lung cancer • : Cancer of the throat • : And other diseases

  12. Instructor’s page continue chemical effects of smoking • Carbon monoxideis a colorless and scentless gas that is produced when you burn tobacco. It interferes with blood, which transports oxygen to all body organs, this cause: The heart and other body parts to get less oxygen. Carbon monoxide damages the walls of blood vessels so that fat and calcium can then settle more easily along the blood vessels. This can lead to: Hardening of the arteries • : Heart Conditions • : Strokes • :And other serious :conditions

  13. Instructors page continued chemical effects of smoking • Nicotine: is a chemical compound added to cigarettes by tobacco companies. It’s highly addictive, it’s been said to be as addictive as cocaine or heroin. • : Stimulates the nervous system, and causes the heart to • beat faster. • : Makes blood vessels contract (become smaller) therefore • . the heart needs to pump even harder and faster to • circulate blood through the body. • :This causes the blood pressure to rise (hypertension)
