6. DEFINITION OF BASIC TERMS
 INHALATION
Refers to the inhaling of medicines or anesthetics in
the form of a gas or vapour. Examples: the action of
breathing air, smoke, or gas into your lungs.
 SMOKE
A visible suspension of carbon or other particles in

7. SECOND HAND SMOKING
 Secondhand smoke is the smoke that you exhale
plus the ‘side-stream’ smoke created by the lit
end of your cigarette. It is also called
environmental tobacco smoke(ETS). It is a
mixture of 2 forms of smoke that come from
burning tobacco:
1. Mainstream smoke: The smoke exhaled by a
person who smokes.
2. Side-stream smoke: Smoke from the lighted end
of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar, or tobacco burning
in a hookah. This type of smoke has higher
concentrations of nicotine and cancer-causing
agents(carcinogens) than mainstream smoke.

8. EFFECTS OF SECOND HAND SMOKE
INHALATION IN EARLY LIFE
 Increased risk for acute
respiratory infections such as
pneumonia and bronchitis
 Middle ear disease
 More frequent and severe
asthma
 Respiratory symptoms
 Slowed lung growth

9. LONG-TERM EFFECTS
 Poor lung development(meaning
that the lungs never grow to their
full potential)
 Lung cancer
 Heart disease
 Cataracts (an eye disease)
