Charlie died of lung cancer which is more common in men who smoke. Smoking cigarettes greatly increases the risk of lung cancer, with male smokers of 1-2 packs a day facing a 15 times higher risk. The longer one smokes and the more they smoke each day, the higher the risk. Unfortunately, lung cancer symptoms often do not appear for many years, allowing the disease to progress to advanced stages by the time of diagnosis. Regular exercise and avoiding cigarette smoking from a young age could have prevented Charlie's lung cancer and allowed him to pursue his dream of becoming a district attorney.

Smoking and chewing tobacco (ghutkha) effects
This document discusses tobacco use among adolescents in India. It begins by outlining the various tobacco products used in India and the extent of adolescent tobacco use. It then examines the psychosocial factors that lead adolescents to initiate tobacco use, such as family and peer influence. The document concludes by recommending preventive strategies like education programs, restricting tobacco advertising, and community development initiatives to curb adolescent tobacco use in India.
10 Shocking facts about Smoking
Nicotine is as addictive as heroin. Smoking affects all organs in the body and can cause blindness by damaging the eyes. Even menthol cigarettes are not safe and can cause cancer and heart disease. When a person stops smoking, their blood pressure drops within 20 minutes as smoking raises blood pressure. Most smokers try to quit but are unable to due to addiction. Smoking also causes more wrinkles and increases the risk of ear infections in children whose parents smoke around them. Quitting smoking can increase life expectancy by up to 14 years.
Spot reduction a Myth
You cannot spot reduce fatty areas through targeted exercises alone. While exercises may build muscle in a specific area, they do not burn enough calories to meaningfully reduce fat in just that area. A study comparing tennis players' dominant and non-dominant arms found the exercised arm was larger due to increased muscle size, but had similar subcutaneous fat levels. Overall body fat must be reduced through diet and full-body exercise to lose fat in a particular area like the abdomen or thighs.
Nutrition and weight status
The document discusses the goals and objectives of Healthy People 2020, which aims to promote health and reduce chronic disease risk through nutrition, physical activity, and healthy body weight. Some key points include:
- Healthy People 2020 goals include attaining longer, healthier lives and achieving health equity for all groups.
- Nutrition, physical activity, and weight status are important for health but rates of obesity have increased in the U.S. since 2010.
- The program evaluates progress and revises goals and interventions periodically to best serve population health needs over the long term.

Carbohydrates classification
The document classifies carbohydrates into three main groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides contain a single sugar unit, disaccharides contain two sugar units bonded together, and polysaccharides contain many sugar units bonded together in polymers. Glucose is the most common monosaccharide unit that makes up polysaccharides. Examples provided include glucose, galactose, and fructose as monosaccharides; sucrose and maltose as disaccharides; and starch, glycogen, and cellulose as polysaccharides. Monosaccharides can also be further classified by the number of carbons they contain, with hexoses being the most prevalent type with 6 carbons.
Classification of Carbonates
The document summarizes carbonate rock classification systems. It describes the Dunham and Folk classification schemes which are based on composition and textures. The Dunham scheme categorizes rocks as mudstone, wackestone, packstone, or grainstone depending on whether allochems or matrix is dominant. The Folk scheme additionally considers allochem types. Both aim to capture depositional environments but Dunham focuses on grain abundance while Folk considers all components. The document also discusses carbonate components, textures, porosity types and dolomitization.
Nutritional guidelines for filipinos
An inter-agency technical working group revised the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) in 2012 to update the guidelines last revised in 2000. The revision responded to changes in the country's nutrition situation as reported in 2008 and 2011 surveys and incorporated new nutrition information and interventions. The National Nutrition Council approved the revised NGF in October 2012.

The document discusses ideas for public service announcements on TV about safe sex and preventing STDs for teenagers and about preventing smoking for teenagers. It notes statistics about STDs affecting young people in the UK and the health risks of smoking. It proposes broadcasting the ads on Channel 4 or E4 since they are youth-focused channels. The safe sex ad would promote condom use and STD testing, while the anti-smoking ad would highlight the cancer and other health risks of smoking and emphasize that it is best not to start.
Lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause in women. Tobacco use is responsible for almost 90% of lung cancer cases. While most lung cancer patients have a history of smoking, 15% of men and 50% of women who develop lung cancer are non-smokers. Non-smokers can develop lung cancer due to factors like secondhand smoke and air pollution. A 1968-1972 study found higher rates of lung cancer in non-smoking men in South Central Los Angeles, where air quality testing found excess polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Secondhand smoke exposure is one of the reasons non-smokers develop lung cancer.

Tobacco- Impact on Health and Cancer
Dr. Lahiri's document discusses tobacco use and its health risks. It covers the history of tobacco, forms of tobacco consumption, tobacco facts and statistics, the Indian scenario, health risks of smoking and passive smoke, benefits of quitting, tobacco and cancer, treatment of cancer, and consequences of cancer. The key points are that tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death globally and causes over 6 million deaths per year, smoking increases the risk of various cancers and other diseases, and quitting smoking provides significant health benefits even years after quitting.
Smoking powerpointttttt
Smoking is the largest cause of preventable death worldwide and is highly addictive. It significantly increases the risks of various cancers, heart attacks, strokes, and COPD. Smoking also negatively impacts children by increasing risks of SIDS, respiratory issues, and academic performance issues. Quitting smoking at any time provides health benefits, with risks decreasing over time, such that within 20 minutes, heart rate drops, and after 15 years, heart disease risk returns to that of a non-smoker. Therefore, it is important to quit smoking to improve health and reduce disease risks.
Smoking powerpointtttt
Smoking is the largest cause of preventable death worldwide and increases the risk of many cancers and other diseases. It is highly addictive, more so than cocaine or heroin. Smoking raises the risk of lung cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and cancers of the bladder, kidneys, throat, mouth, esophagus, pancreas, stomach, some types of leukemia, and in some cases breast cancer. It also negatively impacts children by increasing risks of SIDS, respiratory illnesses, and academic performance issues. Quitting smoking at any time provides health benefits, with risks decreasing over time, such that within 20 minutes, heart rate drops, and after 15 years, coronary heart disease risk returns to that of a non-smoker
Tobacco
Tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive, and smoke from tobacco contains over 4,000 chemicals, at least 69 of which cause cancer. Tobacco use leads to both short term effects like increased heart rate and vomiting as well as long term effects like addiction, emphysema, bronchitis, heart and artery disease, and cancer. Tobacco use not only affects the health of smokers but also harms others through secondhand smoke and costs society billions in healthcare costs each year.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
