This document discusses the health effects of tobacco use and exposure to secondhand and thirdhand smoke. It covers topics such as the chemicals in cigarette smoke, types of tobacco products, reasons why people smoke, and resources for quitting smoking. The health risks of smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke include various cancers, heart disease, lung disease, and sudden infant death syndrome. Exposure to thirdhand smoke can also be harmful as it contains toxic chemicals that linger on surfaces. The document provides information on reducing exposure to smoke and quitting resources like quitlines and cessation programs.
Secondhand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, including 70 that cause cancer. Exposure has no safe level and increases risks for heart disease, lung cancer, and stroke in both children and adults. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are more likely to suffer from health issues like pneumonia, asthma, and SIDS. Over 150,000-300,000 children under 18 months get bronchitis or pneumonia from secondhand smoke each year. While smoking rates have declined in the U.S., millions of Americans remain exposed to dangerous secondhand smoke.
Tobacco is a plant grown for its leaves, which are dried, fermented, and used in various smoked and smokeless tobacco products. Tobacco contains nicotine, an addictive substance. People use tobacco by smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, hookahs, or bidis, or by chewing or sniffing smokeless tobacco products. Tobacco smoking causes over 3 million premature deaths per year worldwide. While smoking shortens life and increases health risks, quitting smoking allows the body to begin recovering and reduces risks over time, with cancer risk reduced after 10 years and heart disease risk of a nonsmoker after 15 years without smoking.
Tobacco is highly addictive due to its nicotine content. Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of death worldwide, killing over 6 million people annually. Cigarette smoking is the most common method of tobacco consumption and contains over 4000 toxic chemicals and 60 carcinogens. Tobacco use has been linked to many forms of cancer as well as other diseases. Unless action is taken, tobacco deaths are projected to rise to over 1 million annually by 2025.
1) Tobacco was introduced to Europe in the 16th century and there are now over 1 billion smokers worldwide. Smoking causes over 8 million deaths per year projected to rise to 12% of all deaths by 2020.
2) Tobacco smoke contains over 500 compounds including nicotine and tars. Cigarette smoke is acidic whereas cigar and pipe smoke is alkaline, affecting how nicotine is absorbed and the associated health risks.
3) Smoking causes diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as well as various cancers. It is estimated smoking will cause over 450 million deaths between 2000-2050, around half between ages 30-69.

Smoking is a modern day catastrophe. It is harmful in all aspects, for it is a waste of money, an unnecessary destruction of health and it can disturb the social balance of the family. The smoker breathes harm with every cigarette he lights, because both nicotine and tar mix with his blood which ultimately poisons his health and life. Smoking is the quickest way to contract various diseases, some of which include cardiac disease, respiratory problems, and lung cancer.
Historical Notes:
Tobacco derived from Tubago, which is an island in the Gulf of Mexico where this plant was found. It was carried to Spain then to Europe.It was introduced to the Muslim world intentionally by tobacco companies, who encouraged its spread together with all types of in toxic ants. Nowadays smoking is decreasing in the industrial countries while it is highly increasing in the poor developing countries.
Modern Statistics:
It is reported by the World Health Organization that: At least a million people die annually prematurely‘ all over the world of the 50% adults in the developing countries smoke tobacco. Smoking and chewing tobacco lead to 90% of lung cancer cases 75% of atherosclerosis and 25% of heart diseases. In America approximately 84% of laryngeal cancer patients were smokers Mouth cancers were 13 times more common in smokers Researchers proved that smokers might have 65 times the chance of contracting lung cancer than non-smokers Cancer of the esophagus was 11.5 times more common in smokers than others The newborn babies of smoking mothers are weaker and weighed 200 grams less in weight.
The view upon smoking within Islam:
«Tobacco is a foul thing. » Dr. Yusuf Al Qaradawi in his book «The Lawful and Prohibited In Islam.»
A general rule of the Islamic Shari’ah is that it is haram for the Muslim to eat or drink any thing which may cause his death, either quickly or gradually, such as poisons or substances which are injurious to health or harmful to his body. It is also haram to eat or drink large quantities of a substance if large quantities of it cause illness For the Muslim is not entirely his own master; he is also an asset to his religion and his community, and his life,health wealth and all that Allah has bestowed upon him are a trust with him which he is not permitted to diminish Allah says:
«And do not kill yourselves; indeed, Allah is ever Merciful to you.» (4,29)
He also says:
«And do not be cast into ruin by your own hands …» (2, 195)
And His Messenger (peace be on him) said:
« Do not harm yourself or others.»
As an application of this principle, we may say that if it is proved that the use of tobacco is in injurious to health it is prohibited especially for a person whose physician has advised him to stop smoking....

The document outlines the various chemicals in tobacco smoke and their negative effects on the lungs, heart, brain and other organs. It also examines why college students smoke and strategies for quitting smoking to improve health.
This document discusses strategies for preventing oral cancer, including controlling risk factors like smoking, alcohol use, and HPV infection. It notes that oral cancer has multiple potential causes, making prevention difficult. The main risk factor is tobacco use, which accounts for over 90% of oral cancer cases. Quitting smoking significantly reduces cancer risks over time, with risks dropping by half after 10-15 years of abstinence. As dental professionals, the document recommends following the "5 A's" approach of asking patients about tobacco use, advising them to quit, assessing willingness to quit, assisting with a plan to quit, and arranging follow-up support.
Secondhand smoke, also called environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), contains over 4,000 chemicals and exposes nonsmokers to health risks. ETS is composed of mainstream smoke exhaled by smokers and sidestream smoke from the burning end of cigarettes. Exposure to ETS can cause various health issues for adults like eye irritation and respiratory problems, as well as increased risk of cancer and heart disease. For children, ETS raises risks of ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and smoking uptake later in life. The document recommends reducing ETS exposure through individual actions and public policies that restrict smoking in public places.
This document discusses the health risks of smoking and secondhand smoke. It notes that smoking causes cancer, especially lung cancer, as well as other lung diseases like emphysema and bronchitis. Smoking is also linked to increased risk of cancer in other organs. Additionally, secondhand smoke exposes non-smokers to the same toxic chemicals and increases their risks of lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses. Children are especially vulnerable to the health effects of secondhand smoke.
Passive smoking, also known as secondhand smoke, occurs when non-smokers inhale smoke from a smoker's cigarette or other tobacco product. It exposes non-smokers to over 7,000 chemicals, including 70 that cause cancer. Passive smoking causes numerous diseases and health issues like heart disease, lung cancer, and asthma in both adults and children. It has no safe level of exposure. To protect public health, many countries and jurisdictions have implemented smoke-free laws in workplaces, public places, and other indoor areas. The health risks of passive smoking are well established in the scientific consensus and have motivated efforts to reduce non-smokers' exposure to secondhand smoke emissions.
1. Tobacco use causes over 10 million deaths annually worldwide and is projected to cause over 10 million deaths by 2030 according to WHO estimates. Tobacco use is responsible for various cancers as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
2. The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act of 2003 in India includes provisions that ban smoking in public places, prohibit tobacco advertisements and sale to minors, and mandate health warnings on tobacco packaging. These types of tobacco control policies have been shown to effectively reduce tobacco consumption and smoking rates.
3. Increasing taxes and prices on tobacco products is an important demand-reduction strategy as it can lead to over a 40 million reduction in smokers and over 10 million fewer tobacco-related deaths globally according to
This document discusses the harmful effects of tobacco use on oral health. It notes that tobacco use is responsible for many diseases and deaths worldwide each year. Tobacco increases the risk of various oral health issues like periodontal disease, oral cancer, and tooth loss. Quitting tobacco is important to reducing these health risks and preventing tobacco-related diseases.
Tobacco smoke contains over 4,800 chemicals, including hundreds that are toxic and around 70 that cause cancer. The major toxic components are found in the particulate phase, including nicotine, which is highly addictive. Smoking causes serious health risks like cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, infertility and pregnancy complications. Quitting smoking reduces these health risks over time.
Tobacco products contain numerous toxic and carcinogenic chemicals like nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide that are harmful to human health. Tobacco use has been conclusively linked to various cancers, lung and heart diseases, and is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. The health risks apply to all forms of tobacco use including cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco. Both short-term use and long-term, regular use can damage multiple body systems and organs.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United States, killing over 400,000 Americans each year from diseases like lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Tobacco contains over 7,000 chemicals, including nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and arsenic. While tobacco companies promote myths that some tobacco products like cigars, hookahs, and cloves are safer, all tobacco products are addictive and cause serious health issues. Quitting smoking can significantly reduce health risks, and medications and support groups can help in quitting.
The document discusses the health risks of tobacco use. It states that all tobacco products contain chemicals that are dangerous and harmful to a person's health. Tobacco use is linked to various cancers, lung disease, and heart disease. It can also cause short-term effects like bad breath and long-term effects on multiple body systems. The most significant health risks include cancer, heart disease, emphysema, and stroke.
This document discusses four major non-communicable diseases: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases. It defines non-communicable diseases as conditions that are not passed from person to person but rather are caused by multiple factors like lifestyle and environment. For each disease, it provides facts, risk factors, prevention methods, and treatment approaches. The main points are that tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and air pollution are major risk factors, and that controlling these through prevention programs and medical treatment could significantly reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases.
This document summarizes training materials for health care professionals on providing smoking cessation counseling. It discusses the goals of encouraging clinicians to counsel patients on quitting smoking and reducing secondhand smoke exposure. It also outlines the 5 A's brief counseling intervention method and reviews the health risks of smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.
Tobacco Harm Reduction - an introductionClive Bates
This document provides an introduction to tobacco harm reduction and alternative nicotine products such as e-cigarettes. It summarizes statements from public health organizations that find e-cigarettes to be much less harmful than combustible cigarettes. Research shows e-cigarettes help smokers quit at the population level and are effective cessation tools. The document argues for risk-proportionate regulation and taxation of nicotine products to incentivize smokers to switch to less harmful options and further reduce smoking rates.
This chapter discusses trends in tobacco use among college students and the general population. It also summarizes health risks of smoking like cardiovascular disease and cancer. The chapter covers theories of nicotine addiction, prevention and intervention programs, and options for smoking cessation like nicotine replacement therapies and prescription medications.
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.
Nicotine is highly addictive and tobacco use causes more death and disease than any other medical condition. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease and other harmful health effects. Despite public awareness of the health risks, tobacco use remains widespread due to the addictive properties of nicotine and the reinforcement of smoking behavior. Smoking cessation and avoidance of secondhand smoke are critical to reducing the enormous health burden of tobacco use.
Tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke kills nearly 6 million people per year and is a major global health issue. Secondhand smoke contains over 50 carcinogens and has serious health effects, increasing the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses in nonsmokers. Exposure is common, with nearly half of the world's children exposed at home and many adults exposed at work or in public places. Comprehensive smoke-free laws and bans are needed to reduce the health risks from secondhand smoke.
This document discusses the health hazards of smoking tobacco. It provides statistics showing high rates of smoking among Americans despite known risks. Peer pressure and addiction are cited as reasons people continue smoking. The document outlines the negative health effects of smoking, including increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and other respiratory issues. It discusses the properties of tobacco and nicotine and how smoking impacts the circulatory, respiratory, and digestive systems. The 1964 surgeon general's report linking smoking to health risks is summarized.
This document discusses the harms of smoking and provides statistics about smoking rates globally and among youth. It notes that smoking is highly addictive due to nicotine and leads to numerous health issues such as cancer, heart disease, and COPD. The document also discusses reasons why teenagers may start smoking, including peer pressure and beliefs that it reduces stress or keeps them slim. It outlines treatments for smoking-related illnesses like chemotherapy and nicotine replacement therapy to help quit smoking.

Editor's Notes
The leading cause of preventable illness and death in the United States. It causes many different types of cancer as well as chronic lung diseases.
Tobacco use also causes
Cancer
Heart disease
Lung diseases (including emphysema, bronchitis, and chronic airway obstruction)
Pregnancy-related problems (Premature birth, low birth weight, and stillbirth).
Tobacco use leads to disability and harms nearly every single organ of the body. if you think in terms of blood circulation,
It even effects your big toe.
Tobacco use is a known cause of erectile dysfunction in males. (CDC), I was
Tobacco use increases the risk of diabetes, the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S.
Worldwide, tobacco use causes nearly 6 million deaths per year, and current trends show that tobacco use will cause more than 8 million deaths annually by 2030.
Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) refers to exposure to tobacco smoke. Not from your smoking, but from being exposed to someone else's cigarette, cigar, or pipe smoke.
Breathing in Environmental tobacco smoke is known as passive smoking, second-hand smoke, or involuntary smoking.
Firsthand smoke/Main stream smoke is what a cigarette smoker inhales. Anyone nearby who breathes in pollutants from the air is being exposed to what’s called secondhand smoke. Thirdhand smoke is what still persists in the air many hours later.
The combination of smoke from the burning end of a cigarette and the smoke breathed out by a smoker.
Secondhand smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds are toxic and about 70 can cause cancer.
Since the 1964 Surgeon General’s Report, 2.5 million adults who were nonsmokers died because they breathed secondhand smoke (CDC, 2014).
Causes 34, 000 premature death From heart disease each year in the United States among nonsmokers.
Among Non-smokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke at home or at work …
Secondhand smoke …Increases risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, and Lung Cancer by 20−30%.
Respiratory
–Asthma induction and exacerbation
–Eye and nasal irritation
–Bronchitis, pneumonia, otitismedia,bruxism in children
–Decreased hearing in teens
Carcinogenic
–Lung cancer
–Nasal sinus cancer
–Breast cancer? (younger, premenopausal women)
Cardiovascular
–Heart disease mortality
–Acute and chronic coronary heart disease morbidity
–Altered vascular
(USDHHS. (2006).The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke: Report of the Surgeon General.)
(CDC): Exposure to secondhand smoke has immediate adverse effects on the cardiovascular system and can cause coronary heart disease and stroke
Last) Secondhand smoke exposure causes more than 8,000 deaths from stroke annually.
CDC
Breathing secondhand smoke can have immediate adverse effects on your blood and blood vessels,.
Even Brief exposure to secondhand smoke can damage the lining of blood vessels and cause your blood platelets to become stickier. These changes can cause a deadly heart attack.
Secondhand smoke causes lung cancer in adults who have never smoked..
It causes more than 7,300 lung cancer deaths among U.S. nonsmokers each year.
Nonsmokers who are exposed to secondhand smoke are inhaling many of the same cancer-causing substances and poisons as smokers.
CDC
Secondhand Smoke increases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in pregnant women. SIDS is the sudden, unexplained, unexpected death of an infant in the first year of life.
Infants who die from SIDS have higher concentrations of nicotine in their lungs and higher levels of cotinine (a biological marker for secondhand smoke exposure) than infants who die from other causes… SIDS is the leading cause of death in otherwise healthy infants.
Secondhand smoke can cause serious health problems in children…
Sick, more often;---lungs grow less than children who do not breathe secondhand smoke; and
SHS can trigger an asthma attack in a child. Children with asthma who are around secondhand smoke have more severe and frequent asthma attacks.
Children whose parents smoke around them get more ear infections.
Chemicals in secondhand smoke appear to affect the brain in ways that interfere with its regulation of infants' breathing.. Infants who are exposed to secondhand smoke after birth are also at greater risk for SIDS
Is a relatively new concept, and researchers are still studying its possible dangers.
Invisible yet …..
Not to mention cushions and carpeting. Lingers long after secondhand smoke (SHS) has cleared from a room.
Studies show that thirdhand smoke clings to hair, skin, clothes, furniture, paint, walls, bedding, carpets, dust, vehicles and other surfaces, even long after smoking has stopped.
Thirdhand smoke residue builds up on surfaces over time and resists normal cleaning. Thirdhand smoke can't be eliminated by airing out rooms, opening windows, using fans or air conditioners, or confining smoking to only certain areas of a home (Mayoclinic.com).
The residue that is build up – is thought to react with common indoor pollutants to create a toxic mix. This toxic mix of thirdhand smoke contains cancer-causing substances, posing a potential health hazard to nonsmokers who are exposed to it. (Mayoclinic.com) such as People, especially children and hospitality industry workers, can have considerable exposure to THS
Thirdhand smoke is a danger to
Children;
Infants, children and non-smoking adults may be at risk of tobacco-related health problems when they inhale, ingest or touch substances containing thirdhand smoke.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all children be protected from tobacco smoke.
Among 7,000 chemicals that have been identified in secondhand tobacco smoke, at least 69 of those toxic chemicals in secondhand tobacco smoke cause cancer
Powerful group of toxins. Only 3 of 7000 chemicals
Other chemicals in SHS..
Chromium (a metallic element)
Formaldehyde (used in manufacturing & chemical industries).
Benzene (found in vehicle emissions)
Cadmium: Used in batteries
Benzo pyrene (It is also found in tobacco, oil and gas products, charred or grilled foods, and other sources. It may also be found in water and soil. Benzo(a)pyrene can cause a skin rash, a burning feeling, skin color changes, warts, and bronchitis. It may also cause cancer.)
(Cancer.gov)
THS CHEMICALS:
Acrylonitrile --- known cancer-causing agent. It can be inhaled and absorbed trough the skin. Used in making acrylic fibers and synthetic rubber and as a chemical to kill pests. Risk for toddlers who crawl on the carpet etc.
Acrolein– Clear or yellowy liquid and has an odor that can create a choking sensation. In high conc. It is a known poison. Manufacturers add it in plastics, medicines, and pesticides. . A risk for toddler as they are more likely to put stuff in their mouth.
A combination of cured and finely cut tobacco, reconstituted tobacco and other additives/chemicals rolled or stuffed into a paper wrapped cylinder.
More than 4,000 different chemicals have been found in tobacco and
tobacco smoke. Among these are more than 60 chemicals that are
known to cause cancer. Studies have proven that smoking cigarettes causes cancers of the bladder, oral cavity,
pharynx, larynx (voice box), esophagus, cervix, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach, and
causes acute myeloid leukemia. It also causes heart disease and stroke.
Will discuss the ingredients in a little more detail shortly.
Bidis
(Bidis (pronounced "bee-dees") are small, thin hand-rolled cigarettes
Imported to the United States primarily from India and other Southeast Asian countries.)
1) Associated with an increased risk of oral, lung, stomach, and esophageal cancer and increased risk of coronary health disease and heart attacks.
There is no evidence to indicate that Bidis are safer than
conventional cigarettes. They have higher concentrations of nicotine, tar, and carbon
monoxide than conventional cigarettes sold in the United States, so are even more addictive
than cigarettes.
Made up of a single type of air-cured or dried tobacco.
Contain higher level of nicotine than cigarettes.
Most cigars are Cigar tobacco leaves are first aged for about a year and
then fermented in a multi-step process that can take from 3 to 5
months. Fermentation causes chemical and bacterial reactions that
change the tobacco. This is what gives cigars a different taste and
smell from cigarettes.
For those cigar smokers who inhale, the nicotine is absorbed through the
lungs as quickly as it is with cigarettes. For those who do not inhale, the nicotine is
absorbed more slowly through the lining of the mouth.
Studies have shown that cigar smoking is linked to cancers of the mouth, lips, tongue,
throat, larynx, lung, pancreas and bladder cancer. Cigar smoking, like cigarette smoking, is
also linked to gum disease, where the gums shrink away from the teeth. It also raises your
risk that teeth will actually fall out.
A study completed in 2000 found cigar smoking, like cigarette smoking, is linked to sexual
impotence in men (an inability to get an erection, known as erectile dysfunction).
1)E-cigarettes, including e-pens, e-pipes, e-hookah and e-cigars, are known collectively as Electronic Nicotine Delivery system (ENDS),
2) A battery-powered device that contains a cartridge filled with nicotine, flavor and other chemicals.
3) Electronic cigarette or E- cigarette: Electronic cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, are a popular new tobacco product that have still largely unknown public and individual health effects. E-cigarettes are entirely unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because of this, there are no safety checks or requirements for what can go into an e-cigarette.
According to the FDA, e-cigarettes are devices that allow users to inhale an aerosol (vapor) containing nicotine or other chemical substances (propylene
Glycol, Glycerol, Propylene Oxide, Benzene, and Toluene. Carbonyl compounds such as Formaldehyde.
there is no tobacco or burning of tobacco involved and the e-cigarette
produces no smoke. It does produce a fine, heated mist called vapors and/or Aerosols. Aldehydes.
This product is often marketed as an alternative to smoking or an aid in quitting but the
World Health Organization claims there are no studies showing that the electronic cigarette
is a safe and effective nicotine replacement therapy and no scientific evidence to confirm
the product's safety. Recent studies by the FDA show that the e-cigarette contains known
carcinogens and toxic chemicals that are harmful to the user
Trending among youth/adolescents… shift from conventional cigarettes to e-cig
Youth are using e-cigarettes at increasing and alarming rates. According to the CDC, e-cigarette use among both high school and middle school students tripled in one year, increasing from 4.5 percent in 2013 to 13.4 percent in 2014 among high school students, and from 1.1 percent in 2013 to 3.9 percent in 2014 among middle school students. Youth use of e-cigarettes has now surpassed youth cigarette smoking.
The tobacco industry aggressively markets e-cigarettes to youth, glamorizing e-cigarette use in advertisements and offering e-cigarettes in candy flavors such as bubble gum and gummy bears. Kids also can easily buy e-cigarettes online, according to a March 2015 study published in the Journal of JAMA Pediatrics. Learn more about youth e-cigarette use. Basic FDA oversight, which would include youth access restrictions, is needed to protect kids from becoming the next generation hooked on nicotine.
Hookah :
Consists of a head, body water bowl and hose.
Is a pipe used to smoke Shisha, a combination of tobacco and fruit or vegetable that is heated (usually heated through charcoal) and the smoke is filtrated through water.
According to a World Health Organization advisory, a typical one-hour
session of hookah smoking exposes the user to 100 to 200 times the
volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette. Even after passing
through water, tobacco smoke still contains high levels of toxic compounds,
including carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens).
Hookah smoking also delivers significant levels of nicotine — the addictive substance in
tobacco.
Hookah smoking has been associated with lung, mouth and other cancers, heart disease
and respiratory infections.
The substances used to heat the tobacco also produce carbon monoxide, heavy metals and
cancer causing chemicals, creating it own health hazards.
Also, Sharing the mouthpiece of the Hookah has been associated with mouth and other infections
including herpes, tuberculosis and hepatitis.
Pipe:
Tobacco is placed into the bowl and lit.
The smoke is than drawn through the stem and mouthpiece and inhaled
Pipe smoke has been shown to cause:
Gum disease and tooth loss
Cancer of the mouth, lip, tongue, throat, larynx, lung, pancreas, kidney…
Pipes are often reusable and consist of a chamber or bowl, stem and mouthpiece.
bladder, colon, and cervix as well as leukemia and
diseases such as chronic obstructive lung disease, stroke, and
coronary heart disease.
Pipe smoking can also cause "hairy
tongue," furry-looking bumps on the tongue that can become stained by tobacco, making
the tongue look discolored or black.
Smokeless Tobacco
The two main types of smokeless tobacco in the United States are
chewing tobacco and snuff: then there are snus and spit tobacco. Chewing tobacco comes in the form of
loose leaf, plug, or twist. Snuff is finely ground tobacco that can be
dry, moist, or in sachets (tea bag-like pouches).
Although some forms of snuff can be used by sniffing or inhaling into
the nose, most smokeless tobacco users place the product in their
cheek or between their gum and cheek. Users then suck on the
tobacco and spit out the tobacco juices, which is why smokeless
tobacco is often referred to as spit or spitting tobacco. The nicotine in
this tobacco is absorbed primarily through the skin in the mouth.
Smokeless tobacco is a significant health risk and is not a safe substitute for smoking
cigarettes.
Smokeless tobacco contains 28 cancer-causing agents (carcinogens). It increases the risk of
developing cancer of the oral cavity, is strongly associated with leukoplakia (a lesion of the
soft tissue in the mouth that consists of a white patch or plaque that cannot be scraped off)
and recession of the gums.
Using smokeless tobacco can lead to nicotine addiction and dependence and is not a safe
alternative to smoking.
Harmful and Potentially harmful constituents.
Roll-your-own tobacco is defined “any tobacco product which, because of its appearance, type, packaging, or labeling, is suitable for use and likely to be offered to, or purchased by, consumers as tobacco for making cigarettes.” The term cigarette filler is not defined in the FD&C Act. For purposes of this draft guidance, we intend cigarette filler to mean the cut, ground, powdered, or leaf tobacco that is a component of a cigarette.

Aside from the harmful health effects of tobacco use
Smoking costs the United States billions of dollars each year.
The tobacco industry spends billions of dollars each year on cigarette advertising and promotions. In 2012, $9.17 billion was spent on advertising and promotion of cigarettes—more than $25 million every day, or more than $1 million every hour.
Medical Costs:
Smoking costs Nearly $170 billion in direct medical care for adults.
More than $156 billion in lost productivity due to premature death and exposure to secondhand smoke.
For people not suffering from severe mental illness, cigarettes may still become a form of self-medication. For decades, soldiers have taken up smoking on the battlefield to deal with wartime stress, for example. Many people experiencing much lower levels of stress -- in a high-pressure job, for example -- may start to smoke as a way to manage the tension and nerves associated with the situation.
Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of economic and personal problems. They may be unemployed or working but not making enough money to take care of themselves and their families. They may be homeless, or they may be dealing with alcohol or cocaine/heroin addictions. Some may be in bad marriages or relationships in which there is physical and/or verbal abuse. All these people may smoke to feel relaxed or to give them energy while going through a hard time.
Smoking is something you are more likely to experience when you are younger. Young people smoke a to look mature, to be like their friends, and to experiment. The excitement of experimenting with something that is forbidden. In Massachusetts it is against the law for anyone under 18 years old to smoke. Usually parents do not allow their under age teens to smoke. Therefore, smoking becomes very attractive. It is exciting to get cigarettes and sneak away to smoke without being caught.
Since teens see older people all around them smoking, especially their parents and relatives, they smoke to act older. If their friends or peers smoke, they may feel pressured into doing the same to be accepted
Research has suggested that, worldwide, tobacco advertising plays a role in the number of people who start or stop smoking. This is not news for public health officials, who, in many nations, began fighting smoking-related illness by restricting tobacco advertising. A 1975 ban on tobacco advertising in Norway, for example, helped reduce long-term smoking prevalence in that nation by 9 percent [source: Willemsen].
Many millions of Americans, both children and adults, are still exposed to secondhand smoke in their homes and workplaces despite substantial progress in tobacco control.
Eliminating indoor smoking fully protects nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke. Smoking bans prohibit smoking from indoor areas of public places and workplaces. Studies showed an average reduction in exposure to components of secondhand smoke of 72%.
Separating smokers from nonsmokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating buildings cannot eliminate exposure to secondhand smoke.
You may Create your own rules in home or in your vehicle..;, don't allow smoking in your home. If your guests smoke, ask them to do it outside. 2. If your partner smokes, encourage him or her to quit. 3. Don't allow smoking in your vehicle. 4. Only visit restaurants and other businesses that enforce no-smoking policies. 5. Choose smoke-free care facilities for children and aging loved ones.
THS ---
Do not allow smoking inside your home or car
Do not allow smoking near you, your children, or your pets
Ask anyone who cares for your child or pet to follow these rules- and tell them why
E-cigarette vapor or aerosol also contains chemicals. Do not let anyone use e-cigarettes in your home, car, or near your child or pet
The only way to completely protect against thirdhand smoke is to quit.
What are tobacco Quitlines??
Tobacco cessation counseling that are provided at no cost via telephone to all Americans
by trained specialists
Up to 4–6 personalized sessions (varies by state)
Some state Quitlines offer nicotine replacement therapy at no cost (or reduced cost)
Up to 30% success rate for patients who complete sessions
They may also provide nicotine replacement products such as (nicotine gum, patches, and Lozenge).
