Smoking
Danger of smoking
• Smoking is one of the biggest causes of
death and illness in the UK.
• Every year around 100,000 people in the
UK die from smoking, with many more living
with debilitating smoking-related illnesses.
• Smoking increases your risk of developing
more than 50 serious health conditions.
Some may be fatal and others can cause
irreversible long-term damage to your
health.
• You can become ill:
• if you smoke yourself
• through other people's smoke (passive
smoking)
Smoking health risks
• Smoking causes about 90% of lung cancers.
It also causes cancer in many other parts
of the body, including the:
• mouth
• lips
• throat
• voice box (larynx)
• oesophagus (the tube between your mouth
and stomach)
• bladder
• kidney
• liver
• stomach
• pancreas
• Smoking damages your heart and your
blood circulation, increasing your risk of
developing conditions such as:
• coronary heart disease
• heart attack
• stroke
• peripheral vascular disease (damaged blood
vessels)
• cerebrovascular disease (damaged arteries
that supply blood to your brain)
• Smoking also damages your lungs, leading to
conditions such as:
• chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
which incorporates bronchitis and emphysema
• pneumonia
• Smoking can also worsen or prolong the
symptoms of respiratory conditions such as
asthma, or respiratory tract infections such as
the common cold.
• In men, smoking can cause impotence because it
limits the blood supply to the penis. It can also
reduce the fertility of both men and women.
Health risks of passive
smoking
• Secondhand smoke comes from the tip of a lit cigarette
and the smoke that the smoker breathes out.
• Breathing in secondhand smoke – also known as passive
smoking – increases your risk of getting the same health
conditions as smokers. For example, breathing in
secondhand smoke increases a non-smoker's risk of
developing lung cancer by about a quarter.
• Babies and children are particularly vulnerable to the
effects of secondhand smoke. A child who is exposed to
passive smoke is at increased risk of developing chest
infections, meningitis, a persistent cough and, if they have
asthma, their symptoms will get worse. They're also at
increased risk of cot death and an ear infection called glue
ear.
• Read more about passive smoking.
Health risks of smoking during
pregnancy
• If you smoke when you're pregnant, you
put your unborn baby's health at risk, as
well as your own. Smoking during
pregnancy increases the risk of
complications such as:
• miscarriage
• premature (early) birth
• a low birth weight baby
• stillbirth
Effects on your baby’s health
• If you smoke during pregnancy, your baby:
• is at increased risk of stillbirth
• is more likely to be born early (prematurely; before
week 37 of the pregnancy), which can cause
feeding, breathing and health problems
• won’t cope as well with any birth complications
• is more likely to be born underweight and less
healthy. On average, babies of smokers are 200g
(8oz) lighter than other babies. A low birth weight
adds to the risks of stillbirth, and makes your baby
weaker and at greater risk of disease with a higher
risk of hearing loss, learning difficulties and sight
problems, as well as cerebral palsy
• is more likely to have a problem keeping warm
• is at increased risk of cot death
• is more likely to get infections as a child, such
as inflammation of the middle ear, and have
health conditions that require hospital
treatment, such as asthma
• Low birth weight in babies is also linked to
problems that develop as an adult, such as:
• coronary heart disease: when your heart’s blood
supply is blocked
• type 2 diabetes: a condition caused by too much
glucose in the blood
