Tobacco has been used for a very long time in the Americas and some of the adjacent countries due to its intense effects on the central nervous system and the feeling of excitement brought about by it. Tobacco is a type of agricultural crops that contains a chemical that is required for the production of cigarettes and chewed tobacco products. Within the tobacco leaf, there is a specific chemical known as nicotine, which is an ingredient that leads to addiction and causes tobacco abuse. This is why many people who smoke cigarette (intake of nicotine) will get addicted and will not easily quit tobacco use, thus developing a condition known as tobacco abuse or tobacco dependence. Tobacco abuse or tobacco dependence can be defined as an addiction to the use of tobacco products due to the intake of nicotine substance. For this reason, nicotine is the chemical that is responsible for the cause of this addiction or abuse. There is no safe level of tobacco use. Our body will become dependent on nicotine psychologically or physically. Once you start using tobacco, you will find it very difficult to stop using it. This is because the body has developed a tolerance to the effects of nicotine. In addition, tobacco use cannot be stopped abruptly as it will interrupt with the normal body functions for someone who relies on it to kick start the day.

Tobacco is the only legal product in the US that, when used correctly, kills one out of every four of those who use it. Tobacco is responsible for the death of over 450,000 Americans per year—more than all who die from AIDS, illicit drugs, fires, car crashes, and homicides combined.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
COVID-19 PCR tests remain a critical component of safe and responsible travel in 2024.

As we continue to navigate the complexities of global travel during the pandemic, PCR testing stands as a key measure to keep everyone safe and healthy. Whether you are planning a business trip, a family vacation, or an international adventure, incorporating PCR testing into your travel plans is a prudent and necessary step.

2. Ugly Facts About
Smoking
52 million Americans smoke
cigarettes.
400,000 people in this country die
every year due to smoking related
illnesses.
Each cigarette you smoke shortens
your life by 14 minutes.
3.
4. Smokers Have:
Limited sense of smell
Greater risk of chest infections
Greater risk of developing
cancer
Greater risk of blindness
Greater risk of periodontal or
gum disease
More wrinkles
Pale gray skin
5. Smoking Today
There is a lot of confusion and conflict
about the role smoking plays in the lives
of smokers
On one hand, smokers feel their habit is
pleasant and relaxing
On the other hand, smokers know it is a
serious health-hazard
39 states have laws prohibiting or limiting
smoking in public places
Smokers often feel like outcasts today
6. Why Do You Smoke?
Nicotine is the only know psychoactive
ingredient in tobacco smoke.
Addicted smokers smoke for one
principal reason---to get their
accustomed doses of nicotine.
When you stop smoking you will likely
experience unpleasant side effects.
Research shows that nicotine provides a
variety of desirable psychological effects.
7. Rewards of Smoking
The average smoker takes ten
puffs per cigarette.
If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a
day, this is about 200 puffs
Each puff of nicotine reaches the
smokers brain within 7 seconds
Twice as fast as a syringe full of
heroin injected into a vein!
8. Rewards of Smoking
Once nicotine enters the brain, it begins to
mimic the brain’s most powerful chemical
messengers.
The result: enhanced pleasure, decreased
anxiety and a state of alert relaxation.
Because of this positive reinforcement
many times a day (each time a cigarette
is smoked) smoking becomes a part of
every aspect of a smokers life.
9. Most smokers say that smoking:
Helps with concentration
Helps reduce tension
Helps them relax
Decreases feelings of distress
Helps keep their weight down
Increases energy levels
10. With all these rewards,
No wonder it is so hard to quit!!!!
11. The rewards of smoking go a long
way toward minimizing the
negative consequences and an
even longer way toward ensuring
that the act of smoking is repeated
again and again
Until it becomes a habit so well
ingrained that you do it without
even thinking about it!
12. But, smoking is not just a habit---
It is an addiction.
Nicotine in cigarettes is a powerful
addictive drug that makes smokers feel
good.
Each time you smoke, the positive
biological effects of nicotine add to all the
other positive rewards of smoking
making the habit even stronger!
13. Effects of Nicotine
Nicotine affects almost every organ
system in the body.
When you puff:
14. Your heart beats faster
Veins constrict
Blood pressure increases
Adrenal glands pump out
adrenaline
Smooth muscles relax
Metabolic rate increases
Even the electrical activity in the
brain changes!
15. Nicotine is a powerful drug!!
It is one of the most toxic of all drugs,
comparable to cyanide. Take enough of
it and it can kill you!
Each cigarette generally contains 8 or
9mg of nicotine
However the amount of nicotine inhaled
from each cigarette is only 1.5mg
16. The amount of nicotine inhaled can
be higher or lower depending on:
The type of cigarette smoked
How deeply you inhale
How many puffs you take from
each cigarette.
17. However, nicotine is so potent that
even a small dose causes
significant changes in the
functioning of numerous organ
systems in the body.
When you first start smoking, these
changes are generally unpleasant
19. However, people who continue to
smoke soon develop a tolerance to
these symptoms until they become
unnoticeable.
20. Tolerance is a term used to
describe an important feature of
addiction.
Tolerance develops when
increasingly larger doses of a drug
have to be administered to obtain
the effects observed with the
original dose.
21. What does this mean for a
smoker?
The small dose of nicotine
delivered by several puffs of a
cigarette may make people feel ill
the first few times they try it,
But, after several trials, they no
longer feel the negative effects
22. Psychologically, tolerance to the
unpleasant effects of nicotine
allows the smoker to focus on the
pleasurable physiological effects
associated with smoking.
(relaxation, alertness, stress relief
etc.)
23. This combination of physiological
and psychological effects provides
so many positive reinforcements
that smoking quickly becomes an
established habit.
24. Smoking is both a habit
and an addiction!
Habits are affected by your
environment.
Something you see or do in your
daily life triggers them.
Triggers are the stimuli associated
with smoking.
What are your smoking triggers?
25. 3 Reasons for Smoking
Nicotine is a powerful reinforce
The act of smoking offers many
positive reinforcements
The reinforcement becomes
associated with many activities in
our daily life.
26. Smoking is tied to many
satisfactions each day!
No wonder it is hard to stop!
27. Research indicates one of the
most helpful things you can do to
break the smoking habit is to stop
and notice your smoking triggers.
The things you do in your daily life
that trigger you to smoke.
28. What smoking does to your body.
Smoking is a major health hazard!
Smoking increases your risk of
death and illness from many
diseases.
29. The U.S. Surgeon General has
called cigarette smoking
“the chief preventable cause of death
in our society”
30. Most smokers accept the fact that
smoking is harmful, but think of this
risk as something like a game of
roulette:
Each time they smoke, they may or
may not have a heart attack, lung
cancer or develop some other
illness and if they are lucky, they
may even avoid the hazardous
effects of smoking.
32. What smoking does to
your body
Lung cancer risk increases 50-
100% for each cigarette you
smoke per day.
Heart disease risk increases 100%
for each pack of cigarettes you
smoke per day.
Switching to filter tip cigarettes
decreases your risk of lung cancer
about 20% but NOT heart disease.
33. Smokers spend 27% more time in
the hospital and more than twice
as much time in Intensive Care
Units than nonsmokers
Each cigarette costs a smoker 14
minutes of life.
Smokers are at twice the risk of
dying before age 65 than
nonsmokers.
34. Smokers have increased rates of
acute and chronic illnesses than
nonsmokers.
35. Lung cancer, bronchitis, emphysema,
mouth cancer, throat cancer, bladder
cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreas
cancer, kidney disease, heart disease,
peptic ulcer disease, allergies,
decreased immune system, Alzheimer's
disease, decreased sperm count, erectile
dysfunction, increase miscarriage and
still born births
Just some of the illness associated with
smoking!
36. Good News!
The great majority of negative
health effects can be reduced or
eliminated by quitting!!
37. What you need to quit.
Make a plan.
Adopt a healthier lifestyle, which
includes eating right, exercising,
managing stress and getting
support from family and friends.
38. Taking these pro-active steps is a
valuable first step towards quitting.
A healthier lifestyle is a no lose
proposition! These steps will
definitely have an effect on other
areas of your life.
39. Develop your quit plan.
What type of program is best for
you? A self-help plan or a group
support program?
What method of quitting is best for
you? Cold turkey or slowly
weaning off nicotine and
cigarettes?
Do you want to use medications to
boost your efforts?
40. Experts have found that the most
popular method of quitting is cold
turkey.
However just throwing your
cigarettes away on a whim rarely
works for more than a day or two.
Planning a quit date and then
quitting---all or nothing, usually
works.
41. Prepare for your quit
day
Ask your self what is the toughest
cigarette to go without?
1st of the day, with coffee, after
dinner, during break etc….
Make the decision to NEVER
smoke during these times!
Never. Make a true commitment
and stick to it!
42. Be consistent
Do not ever smoke during these
times!
Once you gain control over this,
worst time to give up a cigarette
you have accomplished a lot!
Set a quit date to completely
stop—you can do it!
43. Quit
Anticipate temptations.
Develop a plan to avoid these
temptations, find things to do to
help keep your mind off smoking.
44. The moment you quit smoking, your
body begins to repair the damage.
Within ½ hour of your last cigarette, your
blood pressure and heart rate begin to
move back to normal.
Within 12 hours, the carbon monoxide
level in your blood returns to normal and
oxygen increases.
45. Benefits of quitting
12 hours: the carbon monoxide
level in your blood returns to
normal.
2-12 weeks: blood circulation and
lung function begin to improve.
1 year: the increased risk of having
a heart attack is reduced by half.

to the same risk as a person who
never smoked.
10 years: the risk of lung cancer is
reduced.
15 years: the risk of heart disease
is that of a nonsmoker.
47. Other benefits:
Food tastes better.
You have more energy.
Your breath, clothes and hair won’t
smell like smoke.
You are saving money.
You are now more in control of
your life and actions now that you
