The document discusses the harmful effects of alcohol consumption globally and in India. Some key points:
- Around 3.3 million deaths worldwide each year are attributable to alcohol use, accounting for 5.9% of global deaths.
- Alcohol consumption is a causal factor in over 200 diseases and injuries. It contributes to 5.1% of the global disease burden.
- In India, alcohol policies vary by state, with some like Gujarat and Manipur having prohibition while others regulate sales. Alcohol bans have had mixed results in reducing alcoholism.
- Driving under the influence and other alcohol-related accidents are major social and economic problems in many areas. Screening and treatment programs aim to address

In general cigarette smokers and alcoholics believe that their smoking habit affects only their health but researchers have proved that it also affects their work lives and business (Indiana, 2011). Employees who smoke during working hours go outside the office frequently for the smoke. It creates a disturbance for other staffs when they are looking out for them. The productivity of the team performance decreases as well. Problems related to Smoking and alcohol abuse can have an economic, environmental, and health impact that in turn affects the country and its economy. All countries should create a system for minimizing the effects of smoking and alcohol abuse by imposing restrictions on their citizens and businesses (smith, 2007)
Alcoholism is a serious disease that affects the lives of millions of individuals around the globe. It also destroys families, depresses national security, compromises economic vitality, and overwhelms the country's health care systems (WHO, 2004). More than 50% of all adults have a family history of alcoholism. 30% of adults aged 18 years and over have had alcoholism or engaged in alcohol abuse at some instance in their lives.
Drinking impacts their families, communities, and society in general. Untreated addiction costs America $400 billion per year, and recent research findings show that alcoholism and alcohol abuse alone cost the economy of the country about $185 billion annually.(alcoholism and alcohol-induced diseases in America 2011) 15% of this value is the cost of medical expense and alcohol treatment; more than 70% is due to reduced and forgone income.
Approximately 16 million people in America are living with a disease caused by smoking. For every person who dies because of smoking, at least 30 people live with a serious smoking-related illness. Smoking causes cancer, diabetes, heart complications, stroke, lung infections, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Smoking also increases the risk for tuberculosis, eye diseases, and immune system complications. It also causes erectile dysfunction in males.
Globally, tobacco use causes approximately 6 million deaths per year. If the trend continues, statistics show that smoking will cause nearly 8 million deaths annually by 2030. Cigarette smoking causes more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including 41,000 deaths resulting from passive smoking. It is approximately 20% of deaths every year or 1,300 deaths per day.
New research shows that smokers die ten years earlier than nonsmokers. If smoking persists at the current rate among U.S. youth, 5.6 million of today's Americans below the age of 18 years are expected to die prematurely from a smoking-related illness.

Evidence-Based Public Health Tobacco Use Prevention
Joseph Toole
Evidence-Based Public Health
6 February 2017
The purpose of this research paper is to provide justification for the need of evidence based public health for tobacco usage, more specifically, smoking in Alaskan adults who are 18 years of age and older. In providing research for this justification, it will discuss the specific health condition or health risk. By discussing, it will provide information regarding tobacco usage and some of the health related risks surrounding it. It will also cover the target population of those being affected by tobacco usage as well as the size and scope of the issues revolving around tobacco usage. This research paper will conclude with some prevention opportunities and potential stakeholders.
Tobacco use can take place in a variety of forms such as cigarettes, cigars, hookah and smokeless tobacco also known as chew or dip. It has been discovered that there are at least 250 of the 4000 chemicals identified in cigarette smoke alone which is the form of tobacco usage this research is primarily focused on. In regards to cigarette smoking, it has been found that some of the most toxic chemical associated with it are hydrogen cyanide which is a chemical primarily found in weapons. Another toxic chemical associated with cigarette smoking is carbon monoxide which is a chemical primarily found in automobile exhaust. Additional toxic chemical found in cigarette smoke include formaldehyde which is embalming fluid used to preserve the death of loved ones, ammonia which is found in common household cleaners and toluene which is used in paint thinners (Oregon State University, 2015). Tobacco use is considered to be the leading cause in preventable illness as well as death in the United States. It has be known to cause a wide variety of cancers which also include chronic lung disease such as bronchitis and emphysema. It also causes pregnancy related complications, heart disease and can potentially cause other serious health issues (Department of Health and Human Services, 2017). As mentioned, the reproductive effects include ectopic pregnancy, premature birth, low birth weight, reduced fertility in women, stillbirth, erectile dysfunction in men, birth defects which include clept lip and or cleft palate. Other effects associated with smoking tobacco include type 2 diabetes, age related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, cataracts, blindness, impaired immune functions, hip fractures, periodontitis and just an overall diminished health status (Healthy People 2020, 2017). The same causes are found in Alaskans. Research shows that on an annual basis, more Alaskans die from the direct effects of smoking tobacco then HIV/AIDS, homicide, motor vehicle crashes, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis combined. In 2012, it was reported that tobacco usage in Alaska cost an estimated $538 million dollars in medical expenditures as well as an additional $231 m ...

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. Worldwide, 3.3 million deaths every year result from
harmful use of alcohol,this represent 5.9 % of all
deaths.
The harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more
than 200 disease and injury conditions.
Overall 5.1 % of the global burden of disease and
injury is attributable to alcohol, as measured in
disability- adjusted life years (DALYs).
3. Alcohol consumption causes death and disability
relatively early in life. In the age group 20 – 39
years approximately 25 % of the total deaths are
alcohol-attributable.
There is a causal relationship between harmful use
of alcohol and a range of mental and behavioural
disorders, other noncommunicable conditions as
well as injuries.
4. The latest causal relationships have been
established between harmful drinking and
incidence of infectious diseases such as
tuberculosis as well as the course of
HIV/AIDS.
Beyond health consequences, the harmful
use of alcohol brings significant social and
economic losses to individuals and society at
large.
5.
6. Alcohol impacts people and societies is
determined by
- the volume of alcohol consumed
- pattern of drinking
- on rare occasions, the quality of alcohol
consumed.
- In 2012, about 3.3 million deaths, or 5.9 % of all
global deaths, were attributable to alcohol
consumption.
7. Alcohol consumption is a causal factor in
more than 200 disease and injury conditions.
Drinking alcohol is associated with a risk of
developing health problems such as mental
and behavioural disorders, including alcohol
dependence, major noncommunicable
diseases as well as injuries resulting from
violence and road clashes and collisions.
8. A significant proportion of the disease burden
attributable to alcohol consumption arises
from unintentional and intentional injuries,
including those due to road traffic crashes,
violence, and suicides, and fatal alcohol-
related injuries tend to occur in relatively
younger age groups.
9.
10. economic development
Culture
availability of alcohol
comprehensiveness and levels of
implementation and enforcement of alcohol
policies.
11.
12. regulating the marketing of alcoholic
beverages (in particular to younger people)
regulating and restricting availability of
alcohol
enacting appropriate drink-driving policies
reducing demand through taxation and
pricing mechanisms
13. raising awareness of public health problems
caused by harmful use of alcohol and
ensuring support for effective alcohol
policies
providing accessible and affordable
treatment for people with alcohol-use
disorders
implementing screening and brief
interventions programmes for hazardous and
harmful drinking in health services.
14. An increasing number of people are becoming
dependent on alcohol. This makes it difficult for
them to function normally within society.
Domestic and sexual abuse is often associated
with alcohol abuse.
This type of behavior can be damaging to
communities.
Those individuals who engage in this type of
behavior can begin to fail in their ability to meet
family, social, and work commitments.
15. Families can suffer financially as a result of
this type of substance abuse.
Business and the economy suffer because of
lost productivity with people coming to work
still suffering from the effects of alcohol.
Drink driving is responsible for many road
deaths.
16.
17. Although alcohol is freely available in most
part of India, some states and Union
Territories in the country have various forms
of alcohol bans in force.
Alcohol prohibition is currently in force in
Gujarat, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Manipur, and
Nagaland.
18. Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Mizoram, and
Tamil Nadu had previously imposed alcohol
bans but were forced to withdraw the
prohibition.
19. Gujarat – One of the first states of India to
have a no alcohol policy, the state bans the
manufacture, storage, sale, and consumption
of alcohol
. Foreigners are allowed to obtain alcohol
permits valid for a month.
Gujarat’s policy has promoted active alcohol
trade in nearing regions such as Maharashtra,
Rajasthan, Goa, and Diu.
20. Kerala – Amidst much outrage, the government
of Kerala announced plans to go ahead with
alcohol prohibition in phases in August 2014.
Starting March 2014, alcohol licenses of bars
and shops were not renewed but toddy is still
sold widely.
This ban came as a surprise for two reasons.
Firstly, Kerala is among the highest alcohol
consuming states in the country
secondly, about 22 percent of Kerala
government’s revenue gains (approximately INR
8000 crore) was reported to have come from
alcohol manufacturing and sale licenses.
21. Lakshadweep – Alcohol consumption is
prohibited on all the islands of Lakshadweep,
except on Bangaram.
22. Manipur – Manipur government banned the sale
of alcohol in the state in April 1991.
The ban did not do much to curb alcoholism in
the state and local brews are widely available.
In 2002, the five hill districts of the state were
exempt from prohibition, adding about INR 50
crore to the government’s exchequer.
As of July 2015, the government is considering a
total lift of the ban.
23. Nagaland – Sale and consumption of alcohol
has been prohibited in the state of Nagaland
since 1989.
Illegal sale and trade of local brews,
however, are thriving businesses.
As of 2014, the government had initiated
discussions about lifting the ban.
24. Alcohol policy is under the legislative power of
individual states.
Prohibition, enshrined as an aspiration in the
Constitution, was introduced and then
withdrawn in Haryana and Andhra Pradesh in the
midi-1990s, although it continues in Gujarat,
with partial restrictions in other states.
25. Delhi, for example, has dry days. There was
an earlier failure of prohibition in Tamil
Nadu.
Excise department regulate and control the
sale of liquor in the NCT of Delhi.
Retail supply of alcohol is regulated by Delhi
Liquor License Rules, 1976. It prohibits
consumption and service of liquor at public
places.
26. Any person, who is found drunk or drinking in
a common drinking house or is found there
present for the purpose of drinking, shall on
conviction, be punished with fine which may
extend to five hundred rupees.
27. The blood alcohol content (BAC) limits are fixed
at 0.03%.
Any person whose BAC values are detected more
than this limit is booked under the first offense.
He/she may be fined about 2000 andor he or
she may face a maximum of 6 months
imprisonment.
If he person commits a second offense within 3
years of the first then he/she may be fined
about 3000 and/or he or she may face a
maximum of 2 years imprisonment.
28. 1 March 2012 Amendments
Drunk driving would be dealt with higher
penalty and jail terms - fines ranging
from 2,000 to 10,000 and imprisonment from
6 months to 4 years.
Drink driving will be graded according to
alcohol levels in the blood.
29. For levels between 30-60 mg per 100 ml of
blood, the proposed penalty would be 6
months of imprisonment and/or 2,000 as
fine.
For alcohol level between 60-150 mg per 100
ml of blood, the penalty would be one year
imprisonment and/or 4,000.
30. If the offence is repeated within three years,
the penalty can go up to 3 years
imprisonment and/or 8,000.
For those who are found heavily drunk with
alcohol levels of over 150 mg per 100 ml of
blood, the penalty will be 2 years
imprisonment and or 5,000.
Repeat offence within a three year period
would warrant a jail penalty and fine
of 10,000 besides cancellation of license.
31. Between 2% and 10% of ethanol is excreted
directly through the lungs, urine, or sweat.
The concentration of the alcohol in the alveolar
air is related to the concentration of the alcohol
in the blood.
As the alcohol in the alveolar air is exhaled, it
can be detected by the breath alcohol testing
device.
32. 8 September 2000
Advertising alcoholic beverages has been
banned.
33. For the purpose of drug demand reduction,
the Ministry of Social Justice &
Empowerment has been implementing the
Scheme of Prevention of Alcoholism and
Substance (Drug) Abuse since 1985- 86.
The Scheme was revised thrice earlier (1994,
1999 and 2008) prior to the recent revision
which came into force from January 1, 2015.
34. To create awareness and educate people about
the ill-effects of alcoholism and substance abuse
on the individual, the family, the workplace and
society at large.
To provide for the whole range of community
based services for the identification, motivation,
counselling, de-addiction, after care and
rehabilitation for Whole Person Recovery (WPR)
of addicts to make a person drug free, crime
free and gainfully employed.
35. To alleviate the consequences of drug and
alcohol dependence amongst the individual, the
family and society at large.
To facilitate research, training, documentation
and collection of relevant information to
strengthen the above mentioned objectives.
