The document is a lesson on why students should avoid cigarettes and the harmful effects of tobacco use. It discusses how tobacco contains the addictive drug nicotine and toxic chemicals like tar and carbon monoxide. The lesson defines short-term effects of tobacco use like changes in brain chemistry and long-term effects like lung cancer and heart disease. It also covers the risks of smokeless tobacco and consequences of tobacco use.
Nicotine is a highly addictive substance found in tobacco plants. It acts as both a stimulant and sedative, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and the release of adrenaline. While nicotine can improve memory and concentration in the short term, long-term use leads to many negative health effects. Nicotine poisoning can occur from overdose and causes stimulant effects initially, followed by depressant effects like low blood pressure and breathing difficulties. Treatment focuses on medication, behavioral support, and medical care in severe cases. Prevention emphasizes avoiding nicotine products and safely storing them away from children and pets.
Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs, and smoking increases the risk of cancer. Cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals including nicotine, ammonia, acetone, arsenic and carbon monoxide. Smoking causes permanent changes in the brain and 80% of ex-smokers will return to smoking within a month of having one cigarette. Tobacco use is linked to many adverse health effects like heart disease, lung cancer, and emphysema and is the leading cause of preventable death. Most smokers become addicted before age 18 and it is difficult to quit once addicted.
Nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco. It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. Smoking cigarettes rapidly delivers nicotine to the brain, where it is rewarding by releasing dopamine. Genetic factors also contribute to nicotine addiction. People smoke for both the pharmacological effects of nicotine and the psychological and social factors associated with tobacco use. Nicotine is highly addictive due to how quickly it acts in the brain's reward system.

Lesson Objectives
3. LessonLesson 11
Tobacco Use—A Serious Health Risk
Nicotine
• One of the reasons that tobacco
users find it difficult to quit is that
tobacco contains an addictive drug.
• All tobacco products contain nicotine
.
• Nicotine is classified as a stimulant.
• It raises blood pressure, increases
heart rate, and contributes to heart
disease and stroke.
4. LessonLesson 11
Cigarette Smoke—A Toxic Mixture
Toxic Tobacco
• Not only is tobacco addictive, but the smoke from burning
tobacco is toxic.
• In 1992 the Environmental Protection Agency classified
environmental tobacco smoke, or secondhand smoke, as a
Group A carcinogen.
• Other compounds in tobacco smoke are tar and
carbon monoxide.
5. LessonLesson 11
Tar
• Tar penetrates the smoker’s respiratory system and
destroys cilia that line the upper airways and protect
against infection.
• It damages the alveoli, or air sacs, which absorb oxygen
and rid the body of carbon dioxide.
• It also destroys lung tissue, making the lungs less able to
function.
Cigarette Smoke—A Toxic Mixture
6. LessonLesson 11
Carbon Monoxide
• Carbon monoxide replaces oxygen in the blood, thereby
depriving the tissues and cells of oxygen.
• It also increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart
disease, and hardening of the arteries.
Cigarette Smoke—A Toxic Mixture
7. LessonLesson 11
Harmful Effects of Pipes and Cigars
Cigars
• Cigars contain significantly more nicotine and produce more
tar and carbon monoxide than cigarettes do.
• One cigar can contain as much nicotine as a pack of
cigarettes.
• Pipe and cigar smokers have an increased risk of developing
cancers of the lip, mouth, and throat.
8. LessonLesson 11
Harmful Effects of Smokeless Tobacco
Why You Shouldn’t Use Smokeless Tobacco
Smokeless tobacco delivers both nicotine and carcinogens to
the body at two to three times the amount delivered by a
single cigarette.
• Smokeless tobacco irritates the mouth’s sensitive tissues,
causing leukoplakia.
• Cancers of the throat, larynx, esophagus, stomach, and
pancreas are also more common among users of smokeless
tobacco.

Reduced Appetite
Bad Breath and Smelly
Hair, Clothes, and Skin
10. LessonLesson 11
Long-Term Effects of Tobacco Use
Chronic Bronchitis
Emphysema
Lung Cancer
Coronary Heart
Disease and Stroke
How Tobacco Affects the Body
11. LessonLesson 11
Chronic Bronchitis
• Repeated tobacco use can damage the cilia in the bronchi
until the cilia no longer function.
• This leads to a buildup of tar in the lungs, causing chronic
coughing and excessive mucus secretion.
How Tobacco Affects the Body
12. LessonLesson 11
Emphysema
• This is a disease that destroys the tiny air sacs in the lungs.
• The air sacs become less elastic, making it more difficult for
the lungs to absorb oxygen.
• A person with advanced emphysema uses up to 80 percent
of his or her energy just to breathe.
How Tobacco Affects the Body
13. LessonLesson 11
Lung Cancer
• When the cilia in the bronchi are destroyed, extra mucus
cannot be expelled.
• Cancerous cells can grow in these conditions, block the
bronchi, and move to the lungs.
• Unless detected early, lung cancer causes death.
How Tobacco Affects the Body
14. LessonLesson 11
Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke
• Nicotine constricts blood vessels, which cuts down on
circulation, or blood flow.
• Nicotine also contributes to plaque buildup in the blood
vessels, which can lead to hardened arteries, a condition
called arteriosclerosis.
• Arteries may become clogged, increasing the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
How Tobacco Affects the Body
15. LessonLesson 11
Other Consequences
Serious Consequences for Teens
• Legal consequences: Schools prohibit the use of
tobacco products on school property, and a student may
be suspended or expelled for breaking these rules.
• Social consequences: Many people find secondhand
smoke and the smell of tobacco offensive, so tobacco
users may be excluded from social gatherings.
• Financial consequences: Someone who smokes a pack
of cigarettes a day can spend more than $2,000 each year
just on cigarettes.
