Risk Reduction efforts
The risks associated with smoking are primarily defined by epidemiological (population Statistical) studies that show that groups of lifetime smokers have far higher incidence of certain diseases than comparable groups of non-smokers. These risks tend to be greater in groups that start smoking younger, smoke for longer, smoke more cigarettes per day and who smoke high tar cigarettes compared to those who consume less tar.
Simply put. Smoking causes diseases, therefore stop smoking.
All it takes is decision to do so. People can stop smoking if they are determined to do so. Over the past decade, millions of people all over the world have given up smoking. Most have done so by them selves. People who sincerely want to stop smoking can do so. No one should think that they are so attached or addicted to smoking that they cannot quit. Similarly, no one should think that quitting smoking is easy as to be tempted to start smoking without careful thought.
Second Hand Smoke
Cigarette smoke is properly one of the world’s most complex mixtures and one that has been extensively studied. Like any natural substance tobacco contains thousands of different constituents.Approximately 2500 have been identified in tobacco itself and 4000 constituents are formed when the tobacco burns, at varying temperatures with varying concentrations of oxygen.
Mainstream smoke is the smoke taken into the mouth when the smoker puffs and side stream smoke is the smoke that comes off the lit end of the cigarette.
