- Overall health improvement: tiredness, low stress tolerance and headaches are clearly related to snuff.

- Improve the senses of taste and smell.

- The heart will be less tense and work more effectively.

- Increase confidence in yourself, knowing who have overcome an old habit that shortens life expectancy and seriously damaging.

What are the effects of passive smoking?

- Passive smoking (smoke while getting others smoke) irritates the eyes, nose and chest, and can cause headaches.

- Children exposed to passive smoking are more likely to develop allergies and asthma, while those with less than two years of age increase their risk of developing severe respiratory infections and sudden death.

- Have also been detected small decreases in lung function in children, although it is quite difficult to interpret the many existing studies.

- In adults, there seems to be a small increased risk of lung cancer, and could also be an increased risk for stroke, but evidence of increased risk of heart disease are not yet conclusive.

- Babies born to smoking mothers:

- They are twice as likely to be born prematurely and with low birth weight (below 2.5 kg).

- They have an average birth weight 200 gr. less than infants of nonsmoking mothers.

- They have smaller bodies on average than babies born to nonsmokers. This is particularly evident in the case of the lungs of a newborn, do not function as the lungs of a baby whose mother does not smoke.- They are twice as likely to die of sudden infant death. There seems to be a direct correlation between the sudden infant death and the fact that parents smoke.

- They get sick more often than children of nonsmokers.

- Purchase of painful conditions such as inflammation of the middle ear and asthmatic bronchitis more frequently in early childhood.

- They may develop an addiction to nicotine from maternal smoking to snuff before they are born.

- Are more likely to become smokers.

- Increase risk of developing allergic problems.

- Babies exposed to passive smoking every day if one or both parents smoke have twice the risk of getting asthma and asthmatic bronchitis.

- Nicotine and other substances in cigarettes are increasing the amount of cholesterol in blood, which can cause the arteries to occlude with a fatty tissue called atheroma (see section on major diseases, atherosclerosis, above).

- High blood pressure, which is associated with heart attacks and strokes.

- The snuff causes an acid taste in the mouth and contributes to the development of peptic ulcer.

- Couples who smoke are more likely to suffer fertility problems than couples who do not smoke.

- Smokers generally have 25% more sick days per year than nonsmokers.

- The snuff also affects the appearance and body image: Smokers have skin thicker and rougher.

If the snuff disappear occur at least 40% reduction in overall cancer incidence.

Some types of cancer are particularly favored by snuff as the lung, lip, tongue, mucosa of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and bladder. 85% of all lung cancer cases are related to snuff, and a smoker is 12 times more likely to develop lung cancer than a nonsmoker. If a smoker quits, it will take approximately 15 years before your risk of lung cancer equal to that of a nonsmoker. But there is always a clear benefit to quit since the first day.\

There are other types of cancer are also more frequent among smokers than nonsmokers.

These are:

- Esophageal Cancer

- Kidney Cancer

- Pancreatic Cancer

- Cancer of the cervix.94.5% of smoking a pack a day have emphysema if the lungs are examined after his death, and more than 90% of nonsmokers have little or nothing. The smoker’s diseased lung (COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) typically begins when a person is between 35-45 years of age. At that age, lung function begins to decline even in non-smokers. In smokers more vulnerable to the adverse effect of snuff, the rate of loss of lung function can be three times higher than usual.

As lung function declines, breathlessness begins with exercise. At first, the only smoker’s lung causing cough and phlegm, which are typical symptoms of bronchitis. As the picture progresses, the person feels shortness of breath when climbing stairs, climbing a hill or even walking. Severe problems will require short term often frequent periods of hospitalization. The last stage is a very distressing death due to the unremitting and progressively greater respiratory failure. Too many people die each year from this disease which, in eighty percent of cases, is caused by snuff.

Quitting smoking at any time reduces the rates of decline in lung capacity and postpones disability and disability. Measures against snuff are very important in preventing lung smoking and other adverse effects caused by snuff.

It is difficult for many plants leave snuff addicts. Nicotine replacement therapies in the form of gum, patches or nasal sprays help some people to quit successfully, but not a panacea. Bupropion is an antidepressant of recent onset can be very effective in calming the urge to start smoking again.

It is also necessary to change other habits of behavior and use alternative therapies (such as hypnosis, acupuncture and laser treatments), but there is no perfect method for smokers who are trying to quit their addiction. The evidence clearly indicates that smokers should set a date for quitting, and then make every effort to leave it completely since then, additional treatments such as those mentioned above provide clear support for this strategy.

Atherosclerosis is the term used to describe the “dirt” progressive of the arteries with fatty material, making them more narrow, rigid and ultimately block, resulting in tissue infarction depends on the obstructed vessel for adequate blood supply. It can take many forms, depending on how affect the blood vessels, all of which are more common in smokers.

Coronary thrombosis is a blockage of blood flow in the arteries that nourish the heart in particular. Nine out of ten subjects requiring a coronary bypass operation (an operation in which a piece of vein is a bridge of driving clogged artery from the anterior to the obstruction to the back to it) are smokers or ex-smokers.

Cerebral vessels can also become blocked, which can lead to collapse, stroke and paralysis. If it affects the arteries of the kidney, hypertension occurs or kidney failure. The blockage of irrigation in the legs can lead to gangrene and amputation.

When a patient stops smoking, improve their chances of survival. A study in Sweden showed that the chances of survival in patients with atherosclerosis in the legs was higher if they stopped smoking and the risk of dying from this disease was reduced from about 40% to 5%.

The snuff is the leading cause of death as possible to prevent the Western world, responsible for more than two million deaths each year worldwide, 50% of deaths of subjects aged 35 to 65 years is attributable to snuff.

In short, each year 17,000 die as a direct result of Spanish snuff and sicken many more. Cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals and at least 400 substances with a clear carcinogenic effect. As the smoker draws, cigarette burns at 700 degrees Celsius at the tip and about 60 degrees inside. This heat breaks down the snuff, which produces many poisons. While a cigarette burns, wastes become concentrated at the end.

The most harmful cigarette products for health are the tar (which causes lung cancer), carbon monoxide and nicotine (CVD) and certain components of the gas and particles that favor the occurrence of lung diseases such as disease chronic airflow obstruction or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). The intensity of the effects not only on the number of cigarettes, but also of how they were made (with or without filter), and prior preparation of the snuff. Paradoxically, the ‘fitting smoke’ that comes from a cigarette between puffs carries greater risks than directly inhaled smoke.

There are many health-related reasons to quit snuff, not only from the standpoint of the smoker himself but also to protect and not harm those around him. The snuff determines how you live.

Research has shown that snuff reduces the average life expectancy by seven to eight years. An interesting calculation is intended that, on average, every cigarette smoking reduces the life of seven to eleven minutes.

Non-smokers and former smokers can expect to live longer and healthier than smokers.

A team from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health was obtained for the first time, consistent evidence indicating that snuff itself can cause asthma.

The results of the study, published in ‘European Respiratory Journal, show that both smokers and former smokers are more likely to be asthmatic than those who never had the habit, indicating that the effects of nicotine on the body remain over time. In fact, even former smokers have higher risk of contracting the disease (49%) than those who continue to smoke (33%).

But the worst part is worn by women. According to the authors of the study the risk of developing asthma than females can become 143%. For Dr. Ritva Piipari, one of the researchers, this may be because “women are much more vulnerable to the harmful effects of substances from cigarettes than men.

One theory is supported by the fact that even non-smokers are more likely to be asthmatic (57%) than men who have also stopped smoking.

Another important findings of this work is that the risk of developing asthma is proportional to the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the total amount smoked throughout life.

Research

In reaching this conclusion, the Finnish Institute team studied a group of 1,444 people, including smokers and nonsmokers, in southern Finland during a period of two years.

In addition to several questionnaires, participants completed tests that measured their lung function and needed to establish their own symptoms of asthma. Individuals who already were asthmatics, who had chronic bronchitis or emphysema who had suffered lung were excluded.

But the greatest risk of asthma has been discovered in this work does not apply to heavy smokers, those smoking more than 15 cigarettes per day or who smoked heavily throughout her life.

Researchers believe that this fact, qualifying surprising, could be explained “if one considers that these heavy smokers sooner they quit, as they feel any kind of respiratory problems, before they can diagnose asthma.”

Also, note that each person differently tolerant components and snuff could be that smokers over 15 cigarettes daily irritant better bear in cigarettes.
