The smoke can not be attributed directly to the cause of certain diseases to smoking, but it gives you a chance to develop some related to smoking, a higher interest rate. Some studies have shown and confirmed an increased risk in the following:
Early childhood and children:
• birth defects
• sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
• low birth weight
• disease in children
• ear infection
• LearningDifficulty
• behavior problems (eg depression, anxiety, and immaturity)
• Allergies
• Asthma (induction and exacerbation)
• Bronchitis (induction and exacerbation)
• Pneumonia (induction and exacerbation)
• Meningococcal infection in children
• Cancer and leukemia in children
Adults:
• Heart
• Stroke
• Lung Cancer
• cancer of the nose
• miscarriage(Miscarriage)
• exacerbation of asthma in adults
• Cystic fibrosis (exacerbation)
• decreased lung function
• Cervical Cancer
• Infections
• Ear infections
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
• Bronchitis
• Allergies and death of children
• aggravation of asthma, allergies and other conditions
Passive smoking and lung cancer
Smokers have increased one twenty-five percentRisk of lung cancer when exposed to passive smoking at home. In a press release by the World Health Organization (WHO), March 9, 1998, said the increased risk of lung cancer in non-smoking spouses of smokers was estimated at one hundred sixteen, and in places work, an increased risk of one percent about seventeen years. In 2002, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC WHO), convened a group of 29 experts from 12 countries, from monographsProgram. They searched all the key elements published on smoking and cancer.
Their conclusion:
This meta-analysis showed that there was a statistically significant and consistent association between lung cancer risk in spouses of smokers and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke from the other spouse who smokes. The greatest risk is in the range of 20% for women and 30% for men and remains even after controlling for several potential sources of bias andMess.
Passive smoking and other cancers
Conventional studies focus on determining the health effects of passive smoking to focus on the respiratory system. Recent studies have found links between passive smoking and cervical, bladder, nose, sinuses, and suffer brain tumor.
Among active smokers, there was the risk of cancer:
• the renal pelvis (part of the ureter which receives urine from the kidney),
• possibly, renal adenocarcinoma (l 'Glands of the kidney),
• parts of the mouth and throat, such as the lips and the mouth (pharynx, the back) in the mouth), larynx (voice box) and the hypopharynx (the area under the throat or throat;
• the esophagus (tube from the pharynx to the stomach)
• stomach, liver and pancreas.
Passive smoking and heart disease
Estimated in 1990 at the beginning, studies of Glantz and Parmley, that the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States HeartDisease. The first two were active, smoking and alcohol abuse. E 'was also found that non-smokers living with smokers had a higher risk of heart disease by 30%.
Survey of a large sample size in the United States, has also shown an increased risk of heart disease by 20%. Know how widespread heart disease among non-smokers in the United States, 20% in addition the risk is very significant.
Since then, studies have clearly shown that it isonly an increased risk of heart disease, but the risks are not linear. The increased risks and effects on the heart are different from those of lung cancer where the risk is almost in proportion to exposure. In tobacco smoke can increase the risk of heart disease is half of a smoker, 20 cigarettes a day, even if the person only 1% of the inhalation of smoke. New studies show that exposure to passive smoking also causes platelet aggregation, a condition in which blood begins tothickening and narrowing of the arteries and blood flow is reduced when the endothelial dysfunction.
Passive smoking is estimated that 53,000 non-smokers die each year. 3. And 'the leading cause of preventable death in the United States
